Ever wondered what it takes to create a music video?
Well, this is what the filming of “Big Pumps” by Gentleman George looked like…
A band, a crowd, and an awful lot of sandwiches all crammed in to the Windmill in Brixton ready to be filmed by Elliotlouie Alphonso and directed by the mighty John Clay!
So many moments of laughter between shots.
Seeing what the drummer sees…
Making an entrance…
The band’ s eye view…
Reviewing the shot…

The Windmill Family portrait…
