"The Greatest Gift" // Dir: Daniel Bloomberg


MOV (55mgs)


         
Listed as "The Greatest Gift," Short Film, on the director's site.
         

         
very cool vid. love the end.
         
yes
         
fucking love it - reminds me of charlie white and that can only be a good thing
         
fucking not sure - a bit too pretentious maybe? also too many superslowmo vids around lately
         
Wow! this is super cool. definitely feeling the Charlie White Colombine chocolate sauce monster vibe. very smart and fun.
         
my inner surrealist is jumping for joy! I want to see more work from Danny Bloomberg!
         
my surrealist loves it too! want to see more work of Danny! go Danny go! (And I am not friends with him like the others)
         
the great Colombine chocolate sauce slaughter.... bahahahaha! great performances by both girls.
         
Where's Joshua????????????????
         
am i missing something here?
         
Yes, vaguely reminiscent of the Menomena video, but still. This really is good. As much as I may not like Justice, they have chosen some great artists to work with so far. Great eroticism at the end. Interesting twist, etc. etc.
         
I'm still not convinced this is an official vid...
         
i dont know if charlie would appreciate the comparisons being made here
         
I enjoyed this. Agree with Pennebaker about the slow-mo, though. It just gets annoying when you know where action is going but it takes longer to get there. If your audience is already picking up the jello and the actors aren't, you're gonna bore people. Nice ending.
         
deffo unofficial.
and i'm deffo missing something..
         
Ok.. as was stated before fine_comb is director Elliot Jokelson.

Every time a fine_comb or Elliot clip is posted this is accompanied by a forest of cheerful comments.

Cases of heavy Ellioting: here, here, here, here and here.

Dude.. you’ve made some ok stuff.. why jeopardize it all in such a blatantly obvious way. Do you really think we’re all morons?

And this time you’re putting the credibility of a friend on the line to..
         
whoa cyber sherrif nice investigations.

so what the fuck does that have to do about anything.

This is a cool video.
         
You just don't get it do ya.. of course this is a cool video.

I thought the same thing about your 'Lunar One'. That's why I sent you an interview request for it, but while awaiting your response i checked more of your stuff and noticed all of this. I felt to manipulated to answer your following mails..

Nuff said.
         
once again, videology proves to be an idiot. why would elliot publish a vid under another name? check the url for the mov, dude. you're a moron
         
manipulated internet feelings are pretty tough to deal with :(
         
..why would elliot publish a vid under another name?

never said that.
         
Not sure where these conspiracy theories are coming from, but this video's pretty fantastic. I'm surprised nobody brought up "Carrie", or is that too obvious. For me, what turns it all around is when they laugh at the end. I'm not sure what it means, but nine directors out of ten would have left it dour and arty. Good job, Sir Bloomberg.
         
Rather than deal with all of these false accusations in the public domain I've sent videology a private email. Suffice to say this dumb fuck has it all wrong and I don't take kindly to people dragging my name through the mud.
         
Really cool vid. I loved it.
         
nice vid... simple, ridiculous... felt the charlie white thing for sure and was expecting to see some sort of charliesque b grade monster at the end but it was actually better not seeing anything. It definately seems the director has chosen the justice song inorder to get exposure and it makes sense the whole 'ellioting' thing (if its true) especially if agencies still check this site. Smart play... even if it is a little obvious.
         
1. seems pretty obviously not a jokelson vid,
2. all we need now is someone to do slowmo food & girls in fucking 3D!

(with that off my chest: pretty strong (nice casting & loc) tho it does feel a little derivative.)
         
for the record..

i haven't made any previous comments in any previous posts on this matter. not as videology not as someone else. right or wrong.. i just wasn't the only one picking up on it.

if i gave the impression that i thought elliot directed this vid, then i gave the wrong impression.
         
Super enjoyable. Of course, I have to say that. I can be objective, I think.
