The music video for "Take Me Over" was filmed by Australian director Kris Moyes in Sydney in November 2010, featuring jungle scenes, an Indiana Jones-style wardrobe and nude models.[3] The clip, however, was never released due to production delays.[4] In May 2012, a fan made music video for the song premiered online, directed by Ryan Patrick,[5] and was subsequently adopted as the official video.
