The video is a female revenge tale and centred around a love triangle. Cav (the guy) is having an affair with a hot musician and his personal architect. When Cav's wife discovers a wedding ring (not her own) on their couch, she confronts the blonde woman she believes owns it...only for them to discover that the ring belongs to a third woman, his personal architect. The wife and the blonde woman, both duped by Cav, conspire to take justice against him and the architect.

The artist, Nathan Cavaleri, was a very famous child star in Australia, in the 80s. At age 10 he was considered a prodigy guitarist, he toured the world with BB King, was signed to Michael Jackson's label and featured in a movie alongside David Hasselhoff. By his late teens, Nathan had dropped out of the limelight. Now, 20 years later, he's ressurrecting his musical career. 29 Gold Stars marks the first music video release, featuring him as an actor, in 20 years.

Nathan and his management wanted a music video that was stylish, not cheesy, and something that would stand out amongst the clutter. The song is a cheeky tale about a man cheating on his partner. He's enjoying the thrill, but feeling guilty. The brief was to create something cool and fun exploring the song’s themes of guilty pleasures.

One shot videos normally cover a story unfolding in real time. Our story happens over weeks, plus starts at the end, then goes back to the beginning. A narrative like this is normally constructed in the edit by extending, trimming and moving shots around. We didn’t have an edit. Scene transitions were done in camera, there are no trick edits. To show time passing, we made changes to the set, lighting, and character’s wardrobe whilst filming. Our video had a set duration of 2’45’’, so I had to measure the exact length of each shot prior to shooting, whilst ensuring the total shots combined fit the duration.The actors had to nail performances simultaneously. If one stuffed up we had to redo the entire take. They had 15 seconds off camera to change costume, race to their next position and drop into a new emotional beat. It took 52 takes.
