Just greeted by a Barbie doll advert. Swear to God 🙏
Awesome … really. 100% of creativity!
Bloody Brilliant
Still higher quality than a bones music video
Holy shit that was awesome XD
visual storytelling at its finest, it's amazing what he could do with a abismall 240p 15fps camera!
It's the first time I see a behind the scene before the actual movie. I must say that Bloom did surpass himself.
The final video looked like a Bjork's music video LOL
PANERAI!
@10:58 if you were to eat mine you'd go very hungry XD
This is the kiond of stuff you find on the deep web! :V
no excuses and he delivers, Philip Bloom is a class act
Amazing short movie.
This is just amazing.
I still laughed at this Video
That film had me dying !!
I love that Barbie went on a drinking binge. XD – If there were to be a live action Toy Story for adults… directed by Tarantino… this would be about it.
One day you're a teenager in school. Fast forward about 2-3 decades… > 18:36
You know; I'm actually more baffled that a Barbie doll with a camera in it exists… Then again, I'm not surprised, cause Asia.
As Casey Neistat would say : STORY IS KING
Gear don't matter.
Awesome job I was blown away
Look bad
I do not know where people see that Philip Bloom makes good videos … He just puts the camera on a tripod and records, which any idiot is capable of doing. Not to mention that his post edition is always washed, loses all real quality of the image.
Bloom is a terrible reference in the audiovisual world.
Philip bloom is a filmmaker I️ really want to work with someday
Love this episode.
Amazing
Nice one
Next. Give Barbie 10,000$ worth of equipment and see what movies she makes… Probably better than me.. I have story telling abilities of a barbie doll~~
What a noble man Philip
remade prodigy video is awesome
I laugh to tears with the snake metaphor! ken without snake and the guy eating the dish…. Was totally brilliant….
It's videos like this that make me realize I have roughly fuck-all talent. That was an incredible end-product.
Best barbie movie (short film) ever!
this is subject for a film school class "keep your scenes short"
Hats off. Dude is a pro.
The video reminds me of the Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up music video. Good effort! 🤣
C O C K W I S E
Sorry, but that was taking an essentially good idea much, much too far.
Looks like a 90s music video.
Seems like a snuff film
@21:43 – I thought Ken had a boner
