[edit] Music video

The music video for the single premiered on Channel Seven's Sunrise program, on August 28, 2007. It was directed by Damon Escott and Stephen Lance and producer Leanne Tonkes, who also created the Reflections of a Sound video [1]. The band described the video as their most "electrifying" video ever made, in reference to the lightning bolt special effects throughout the video.

The visual effects in the clip were produced by Brisbane-based visual effects company Liquid VFX (a division of the internationally successful animation company Liquid Animation) [2].

Escott and Lance describe the clip as "Busby Berkley meets Frankenstein. A demented toy box of Broadway horror".

Molly Meldrum described it as "the best video I’ve seen from Australia ever" while discussing music with David Koch and Mel on Sunrise in August 2007. [3]

In its first week on YouTube, the video rated #88 in the most discussed music clips of that week. [4]
