Judd Wild, arguably Australia's best-known stunt person who won the World Stunt Award for best specialty stunt in Mad Max: Fury Road, was the stunt co-ordinator and supervisor of the music video.

Stuntman Johann Ofner's final Instagram posts
Johann Ofner posted videos showing a selection of guns on the Bliss n Eso music video set just hours before the actor was shot dead in an underground Brisbane bar.
And one of Australia's best-regarded armourers, Warren Ritchie, who owns Fireworks Down Under – the biggest company of its kind in Queensland – oversaw the armouring of the music video.
Fairfax Media has contacted Wild and Fireworks Down Under for comment.

Home And Away actor Dan Ewing was also slated to feature in the music video.
Police were notified prior to the filming of the video that guns would be used and that there was no live ammunition on site.
Blanks were used but it is suspected that a piece, or pieces, of debris from one of the chambers exited the barrel, fatally injuring the Gold Coast father, according to an industry insider who wanted to remain anonymous.
Fairfax Media was told the 28-year-old's fellow stuntmen only realised he was in trouble once they noticed he had not returned to his feet as they had.
There was a wound to Ofner's chest, but not that of a shotgun blast, and very little blood surrounding him.
The industry insider said CPR was performed on Ofner as soon as his condition was made clear, but he died almost instantly.
