Music video

[edit | edit source]

The music video for "Not Your Fault" utilizes pixilation, clay animation and stop motion, similar to Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and the animation style of Dino Stamatopoulos. In the video, frontman Aaron Bruno is shown singing the song as he and his band—in clay animation style—trying to defeat monsters. Bruno is also shown attracting a girl and saving her in the process. A 3D version of the music video was also featured in the Nintendo 3DS video service Nintendo Video.
