Brown said of the making of the video: "Brad and I flew to London in March of 2003 to shoot a video for Biffy Clyro. We had very little money so we shot the video on DV, transferred the video to 35mm film and had a friend scratch animation on the films negative. He also painted frames with sharpies to give it a retro/psychedelic feel. I brought my small sony handycam and shot home movies during the shoot. This was the first of three videos we made for Simon, James and Ben. Who were, without a doubt, the absolute best to work with."
