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!
Reviewing the shot…
Sometimes the shot isn’t quite what you expect.
Believe it or not, there was a plan…
Going to any length to get the best angles…
When you’re wondering whether the shot is really worth it…
The band’ s eye view…
A ladder on stage? Of course…
When the director has to convince the guy doing the filming that this is actually a good idea…
Sometimes you just have to try things and see if they work. AND try not to laugh at the wrong moment!

Making an entrance…
The Windmill Family portrait…
So many moments of laughter between shots.
Ready for your close up?
Stop! John’s had an(other) idea!
