Phillip Chua – Somnium
Posted on: January 7, 2009
“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.” Edgar Allan Poe (1809 – 1849), “Eleonora”
Somnium – “dream”in Latin.
Dreams are sequence images, sounds and feelings experienced while sleeping, particularly strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep. The contents and biological purposes of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history.
The world of Dreams and illusions are closely tied with that of cardistry and magic.

Although he doesn’t showcase too many moves I kinda liked the feel of the video.

Adam speaks the truth, although the editing slash cinematography was off the roof, i could barley see the moves.

this video has potential to be somthing… but sometime editing got in the way of the moves. Also the introduction was way too long
January 11th, 2009 at 10:34 am
the production was flawless!
too bad the moves sucked a dick.

nice video… i loved it. dont get flawed by what the other guys said. I dont remember cardistry and flourishing being such a critical artform. since when has everyone started flaming people for what they did poorly. Editing was superb. give this guy a break.
5/5
