Don't

Paul McLaney and Anika Moa , Music Video – 2003

from the album Unreleased (2003)

Set in a half-painted world of city, mountains and purple skies, director Ed Davis's video is a triumph of imagination and ingenuity over reality. The result is an extended aerial journey around an acrobat on a high wire — possibly reflecting some of the lyrics of this Paul McLaney and Anika Moa duet. Don't took out best video at the Kodak Music Clip Awards in 2003.

I shot it on a Steadicam in an old church on Frederick Street Wellington, with blue tarpaulins everywhere, a stairway up the wall and a catwalk overhead. France [Herve] mimed everything on the floor, and all the images in the backgrounds are stills from my travels around New Zealand.
– Ed Davis, May 2009
