As we all should know there was a total Solar eclipse on March 20th, 2015. Apparently the best place to see it was from the Faroe Islands. Apparently a local band took a chance and decided to film a live music video (see below).

It is this kind of thing I so admire as I am usually too pessimistic and risk averse to attempt anything of the sort. Yup, I am that guy. The number of things that could have gone wrong boggles. The weather could have been bad: rain, high winds, cloud, a freak tsunami! And there could have been people on their shooting location, the eclipse could have occurred at a bad camera angle, their camera could have broken, the filters could have been wrong, the timing could be messed up…I could go on for hours. It seems like a recipe for total disaster. <shudder>

Sometimes I wonder how I ever got into such a risk-filled profession like print design and production:  ink absorption, colour shifts, postscript errors, registration issues… aargh!

Anyway… enjoy!

During the total solar eclipse on March 20th, 2015, the Faroese doom metal band Hamferð took the opportunity to shoot a creative live music video for their song “Deyðir Varðar” from a mountain in the Faroe Islands. It’s a 6 minute 36 second video in which the world goes completely dark and the total eclipse can be clearly seen in the background.
