Wes Peden and Patrik Elmnert : Duet for the King and Queen

As a juggler, I love this video. I’ve spent a lot of times on forums and in closed circles of jugglers, exchanging tricks and concepts for one another. Often these tricks are abstract and conceptual; weird variations on neat techniques and things that ‘other jugglers would find interesting because they understand this stuff.’ Youtube is full of awesome juggling ideas and discussions between jugglers. And there is such an excitement that comes from these moments of innovation and discovery when a new technique is explored. This video is full of neat stuff like that.

But Wes and Patrik are sharing that excitement and love for funky weird juggling with everybody, not just other jugglers. When Wes throws that ass-wrap pass at 0:39, I can’t help but think “Does that royalty guy picking his nose really know how insane that pass is?”

But you know what? I think he does. Watch the faces of the crowd. The experience of watching this intricate dance of clubs being exchanged between the jugglers is full of these moments of ‘omg what a neat idea’, which is why the experience of the piece is so enlightening, the dance is so unique and marvelous. And flawless!

Good job Wes and Patrik. You make the juggling that everybody likes. After that last amazing wine-bottle-trio video, you guys are fast becoming the classiest jugglers on the planet.

Youtube says: Video realizzato per l’artista giocoliere Edoardo demontis.

Which I believe means, Video of the Juggling Artist: Edoardo Demontis…? Aka Dodo perhaps? Well all informations are noted in a cute way at the end of the video. Which was 1-4 clubs in it, juggled, contacted, balanced and manipulated… All with smiles and exceptional skill. And the video is absolutely beautiful. Great camera and camera work…

Emiliano Alessi has made a video clearly showing off his beautiful combination of juggling and dance. Great shapes and he still has a keen sense of manipulation and how to make it interesting. I love it lots.

More funky club goodness from the hard-working Wes Peden.

From Youtube:

PROCESS: I do some painting and most of the time i have no idea what i am going to paint till i see a color i like and just work from that. This video felt quite much like that.I knew for a while i wanted to make a video with these trapping and tipping patterns but i didn’t know what it was going to look like or what style it would be or anything like that. When the clubs came i saw how beautiful they were and some images came into my head for what i wanted to do. The day before Jay told me about the band mum and i had been listening to their music a lot and thinking what visuals would look nice with it.
The day i went to shoot the video i walked into studio 10 and there was this beautiful beam of light shooting down out of a high window into the room (you can see it at the beginning of the movie) i immediately tried to shoot some juggling with it but after a minute a cloud went over it and made my soul cry salty tears. I went to the janitor and asked if i could barrow some floor lights for the day and he was super cool and let me do it. So i tried to take all the half formed images from painting, the clubs, the music, the sun and make it into one piece.
