I lept at being involved in the project. Not only is Barnesy someone I admire a lot, but this song is amazing. The Epic tone of it resonated through me and around me. So the inspiration for this MV wasn't difficult.
My research took in 1984, V for Vendetta, The Verve, and various 90s music videos. The 90s vibe was important, as this also played into our hands for the rag-tag rebellious mavericks at the centre of the story.
As always I try to interpret the lyrics visually, which in this scenario was to me pretty obvious. 
There were plans for a bigger more complex production, but as always budget and time dictate, so we pivoted and ended up with a more basic version of the initial treatment. The heart was still there and you get that sense of Espirit Du Corps nonetheless... ✊🏻
