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!
Left a bit?
Sometimes the shot isn’t quite what you expect.
Direction…
Stop! John’s had an(other) idea!
Ready for your close up?
Checking that plan…
When the director has to convince the guy doing the filming that this is actually a good idea…
