Fucking great!kansas, October 2, 2009 6:47:41 AM CEST
oh tits.... amazing!? Keith Schofield how to become a famous viral music video director 101... Make something x-rated. Also seems to come as no surprise after Eric Warehiems slew sex joke videos.This is funny but makes me kind of sad. Has none of the artistry of something like the Tom Kuntz directed 'Danger, High Voltage'.

yeah both of Tom Kuntz videos are great... Gay bar is def one of my fav videos, and what inspired me to want to do an 8k video for these guys.. I wouldnt say anyone is trying to be a "famous viral video director," i couldnt imagine that being a goal for any director, i would say that's an insult to Keith who is an amazingly creative director. And yes, Tit's are amazing!.....to each there own though, dont be sad..! hassinator, October 2, 2009 8:30:02 AM CEST
great vid. best thing i've seen on here for light years.kansas, October 2, 2009 8:50:55 AM CEST
Viral appeal is how to get attention as a director. This is Schofield's well executed lesson. What is good about Schofield (apart from being a good director) is that he admits to his own dedication to viral internet appeal, especially in the early days of his directing career. I think he is actually proud of it. No insult at all. Tits are great! However unlike Schofields BPA video which used the nudity in a clever and creative way this video Nabil is just an exploitation of tits loosely framed in an obvious concept. Which ofcourse has its own merits but maybe if there hadn't have been an avalanche of similar sex / nudity joke videos recently I personally would have been more excited by yours.
Anyway I am sure it was a fun shoot.

i like nabil's videos, but this is getting boring already - blue screen, lo fi graphics, and some titties? this is stupid
run of the mill internet video (maybe a redundancy in terms)

NSFW net virals, the way to go since mainstream video channels are dead? budget, October 2, 2009 9:32:42 PM CEST
Yeah, I don't care if it's supposed to be ironic, this is some lowest common-denominator laziness. There's a thin line between this and catering directly to insane clown posse fans. baudfather, October 3, 2009 6:58:40 AM CEST
This is great! Sure it's cheezy, but this song and E6 warrant it. There's too much art direction and thought put into this for it to be considered viral; though it's likely the main outlet for it due to the content. Funny, energetic, and colorful - love it!soapstar, October 4, 2009 3:28:08 AM CEST
so now a viral vid has to be something caught on accident on your ipod cam? no no no. come on, the term viral has nothing to do with the creation, the whole term viral video needs to be used differently. viral video = successful video. what type of video are you working on? a successful one. well.. we'll see about that.ozcam, October 4, 2009 4:51:39 AM CEST
I agree with soapstar about viral smiral... hopefully this will become a successful one as it is funny as hell! i quite enjoyed it
