Empire Of The Sun - The Making of 'We Are The People' | Vevo Footnotes

15 years on from the release of Empire Of The Sun’s ‘We Are The People’ music video, Emperor Steele and Lord Littlemore reflected on the landmark video and the enduring power of their music. “We wanted to transcend. What we are wearing is an insight into the imagination and spirit of the music,” the Aussie duo told Vevo in a Footnotes interview. “When the Empire began we were clearly on a mission to project hope and imagination.” Collaborating with director Josh Logue to embody its trademark “pure of heart” essence, the band pulled in visual references from Alejandro Jodorowsky, Stanley Kubrick and Greg Araki. More great insights await in this Footnotes video.
