Help Andrei Jikh win the Nikon Festival 2009 http://www.nikonfestival.com/blog/2009/12/09/in-the-cards/ … leave a comment there to take our art to the next level.
An instant flashback of a character’s life and all that’s significant to him all in one day. The Cardistry (card stunts) represent all the complexities and problems of life that live within him.
A short film I produced with the help of my trusty friends. Spanning over two weeks and a multitude of locations in Las Vegas, Nevada which was both a blessing (lots of lights), and a curse (too many casinos]. We had a blast making it! It was a ton of fun.
We need as many laymen watching this as possible. It only takes a minute. Go comment!

Meh… that was mediocre at best. If it wasn’t for the editing it wouldn’t be worth to watch.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
moves are clean but the video makes me a little faint…

The stupidity of comments above (ProVPN) give me envy to stop flourishes. Flourishers = geek without brains.

Aristote: Learn some english before you reply to me. Your comment doesn’t make any sense. You’re probably from some poor 3rd world country so I have to forgive you.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
My english is very well thanks to you. But you sir are idiot and no brain.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
What can I say… LOL

Visually awesome. Most people qualify videos by the flourishing content or by the editing aspect. But there are something that you can’t explain, something related with the emotions that only a few videos can get. This is one of those. No words to define what awesome is this! Hope you win man.

OMG tat vid is pure art, coz there’s violin in it!

Great work Andrei. As you said yourself once:
“There comes a point where you cannot critisise an artists work anymore, when everything they produce is amazing”
You reached that point some time ago, yet you still amaze with each new project and video.

On ITricks they called this the best Cardistry video ever. I beg to differ. It is one of many that are beginning to push the edge.
I found the video quite good and enjoyed the excellent editing but many of you are as good with the cards, if not better. When your video techniques catch up, you will surpass this.

It’s for a film contest. Wasn’t made for flourishers.
December 10th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Great video andrei! ;)
But to be honest i got a little dizzy with all that round an round filming.
Still 5/5 good jop
December 10th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Great video!
December 10th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
awesome!!!
December 10th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
great job
December 10th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Absolutely Spectacular!!!! it was as if it was a real motion picture movie.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
A truly breath-taking video…
December 10th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Wow, best video I’ve ever seen, not only about cardistry, but emotionally artistic!
December 11th, 2009 at 6:11 am
I thought this was amazing, the changing backgrounds was a level of special effects I havent seen before in a cards video and the music bumped, good work andrei and good luck in the contest :-)
December 11th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Finally a flourish video with some meaning.
December 11th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
An truly artist really good.;)
December 13th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Well…the moves weren’t Badass enough or kind of to really impress me but the editing was so amazing and it had such a great feeling, and thats why I liked it.(but not as a cardistry video) :D
December 16th, 2009 at 5:18 am
crap, just like any other card video’s that has no real meaning or story, just moves and camera editing.
December 19th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
just what i was saying
i’ve yet to see a video that TELLS something. no, the CARDS tell something. not just prancing around like a one night stand. yes andrei’s got talent, no doubt. but,,, let’s just say that a rap battle is way different than a song that talks about something (other than bling-bling and b*tches and h*es and nonsense).
anyway,i’m babbling as an audience that wants to see something more, and not as someone who thinks i could do way better.just saying. . .

What Cards are They???
December 29th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Bplf95- They are Red Wynns

I love the editing but the material named Genesis by andrei. For me that was so boring.,.
why put some “beginner materials” in your dvd?
maybe i just expect too much and Genesis failed it.
January 11th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Go Andrei! 2nd place wooo!
January 13th, 2010 at 7:36 am
This video is NOT art at all.

People who say that this video sucked, you’re either really jealous or really mean. You need good editing in order to make a really good video, so it makes absolutely no sense if you say that this video was only good because of editing. Editing is a crucial part to any video. Andrei performed simple flourishes to complex flourishes which was really cool but I really don’t care about that. I care about the FEELINGS that were expressed through those flourishes. Those moves were a thousand times more impressive because of the feelings. So if you can’t feel the feelings of Andrei’s moves, then it’s no wonder you can’t see the brilliance of this video. I want to see how you guys compare with Andrei in terms of feelings, you won’t even come close to where Andrei is at.

and people who don’t like chocolate cake are jealous or really mean >__<
There's a cool concept called "tastes", and guess what, it's subjective…
glad you liked the vid ^_^
