The Pilot film clip involved bribing a friend for the use of his giant jumping castle and setting up in a park deep in the Brisbane suburb of Coorparoo. The filming quickly escalated when a bunch of exercise balls were introduced, as well as cardboard instruments which quickly turned into weapons. Friends became enemies.

Early on in the filming, Elliot Goard (lead guitar) took a beating on the forehead by a cardboard drum kit courtesy of an over exuberant drummer. It quickly formed a nice looking scar on Elliots head which can be seen perfectly at 2:02.

Fine print: Pilot was directed by Jacob Livermore, props/costumes by Laura Rose Drummond, cardboard instruments by Fox & Fowl.
