Shot on Wellington's South Coast, the video stars Academy Award-nominee Taika Waititi as a turquoise headband wearing 70s jogger attempting an eclectic confidence course. Shot in one ducks-in-a-row long take, our hero slays knights, frees prisoners and crosses the finish line into the arms of his lover. And a horse. A splendid example of she'll-be-rightism, the clip is refreshingly lo-fi, makeshift and delightful - and undoubtedly took four minutes and 15 seconds to make.
