With a mandatory public health stay-at-home order comes the opportunity to make this domino video! I’ve been doing this since my college sent everyone home a little over a month ago, and I’m really happy with the ideas I was able to make despite being gone for a while. I specifically realized the potential of dominoes and scotch tape mixed together. There are so many ways to make dominoes act in a way you wouldn’t expect, and I tried to exploit that as much as I could.
This might look more like a chain reaction machine than a domino video with all the other objects involved, but I’m a chain reaction builder primarily, after all. I think this can be a whole genre of tricks, perhaps – domino tricks that look like chain reactions.
Something I noticed with this video is that I had much fewer fails than usual! A lot of clips worked on the first try, and the vast majority took 4 tries or less. Taping dominoes seriously increases their reliability!
I’m excited to do more with this channel now that I have the chance, there may be more things than just chain reactions on here. I’m really happy with how it grew in the past couple of months with the first domino video and it’s great to add a sequel before I potentially make different videos.
Interesting things:
Favorite trick: 360 flipping board that resets the dominoes on it
Most fails: Pushed sliding sideways dominoes completing the path (16)
Most frustrating: trick with the bottle
Domino count: ~10,200
Stay safe, everyone!
