A Domino Odyssey is a short film that explores the musicality, rhythms, energies, and emotions of domino toppling. Through synchronizing our setups to an emotionally diverse piece of music, we have illustrated how different setups can represent different moods, as well as visualizing the overall journey of the music. It's our biggest, most ambitious chain reaction project ever, so we hope you will enjoy! :) :D :3
Music in the video: • Onefin + hyquo - PSMD ...
----
As for how this project came to be, this has been an idea that has been brewing in the back of our mind since early 2017, when we did our Musically Timed Screenlink collaboration with Flash Domino. ( • Musically Timed Screen... ) We loved making this video, but it felt like just an inkling of what was truly possible, since we had to change our style a lot for that video. I knew we would want to collaborate with Flash Domino again, and in 2020 we did, and These Setups Become Progressively More Compact was created (which was also a video concept we had in the back of our mind since as early as 2016!)
However, that was only one part of the puzzle - we wanted to explore the idea of syncing music to domino videos further. What if instead of matching every note/beat to something in the dominoes, we focussed more on the artistic side of music? How the song makes you feel, how it generally progresses? I knew that if we were to ever re-visit this idea, it would be to this piece of music you hear in this video: "Dark Matter Suite" by 1f1n1ty & sheddy. But it was the kind of idea that was brushed aside because it would obviously take forever and be way too ambitious.
Last summer, Double Domino contacted us about working on a project together (as it was a prize for winning my contest with his video Incredible Domino Ideas), and the idea was brought back to life, and started taking form. We planned the whole screenlink and spent the next 10 or so months constructing everything you see here. It has been so rewarding seeing this old idea finally manifest itself, and this video was a blast to work on.
Double Domino is an amazing builder and has been such a joy to work with for all these months. He's not only been such a kind and supportive friend, but he is insanely skilled at what he does, and his dedication is nuts. If we were ever at a low point during the building process, watching his clips would always light us back up and get us motivated again. This video would have never been possible without him.
Lastly, happy two years of Incredible Domino Ideas. I can't believe this video has been out for that long, but at the same time it makes sense, it has manifested itself as a classic in the community :) For the last time - Incredible Domino Ideas is a beautiful work of art, please go watch it!!!

Thank you for everything, see yu next time!!!!! :D :3

What an amazing story, I love how you figured this all out. This is groundbreaking in all the ways builders have made videos to be groundbreaking - from genius techniques and ideas to the storytelling/interpretive aspect of recent years. This is everything I’ve learned to love about domino art. I will treasure this video for a long time :)

Act II Scene I was my favorite part for all the obvious reasons, but I also like how the end of I-II builds momentum that carries into I-III. That whole scene really captured the vibe of an action-packed movie chase sequence. Great work all around, this king of storytelling feels like the logical destination of what domino toppling was always meant to be.

@sirgabealot01 3 года назад

I can't begin to emphasize how much I love this domino project! The setups are fantastic of course, with standouts in the video to me being at 0:56, 1:46, 2:16, 2:35, the transition at 3:00, the ball path at 3:00 (such a clever idea to have a domino setup that's driven by a ping pong ball track - I love seeing things like this in domino setups), 3:30, 3:41, 3:48, 4:00 (even though it didn't quite work I still appreciated the idea), the transition at 4:50, and 4:53. The main appeal of this project to me though is how this setup tells a story through dominoes. Everything is implicit and left to be determined by the viewer, which is the best kind of storytelling (I hate when I'm watching a movie or something and they just straight up tell you what's going on because they didn't write a good enough plot to not have to explain it to the viewer). The lamp reappearing throughout the setup, the ball returning to its home to find that the domino lines around him have been decimated, and the connection between the beginning and the end of the video all convey a beautiful story. A lot of the time it seems like modern domino projects tend to fall along the lines of "You've seen one leaf, you've seen them all", and what I've always admired about both your styles is that expression isn't the case at all. You both go the extra mile to take risks and develop interesting motions and creative designs, which is what makes your projects stand out, and that really shines in this video. I can tell you put a lot into making this project great, and your hard work definitely paid off. This is easily my favorite domino setup of the year, and maybe of all time. You guys make such a great combo. I hope this won't be your last project together.

Amazing Screenlink! Incredible tricks!

To me this video feels like the story of a teenage boy who does something really bad at home, and is afraid to admit it, so he runs away. Eventually he gets up enough courage to start home, however fearing the punishment and shame from his family. On the way, he realizes that no matter what bad thing he does, his family will still love him, and in the end, that’s what really matters. He’s no longer afraid of facing the music, and hurriedly heads home. His family is so glad to see him again, and although he gets punished for what he did, he is still a beloved part of the family. The end.

The music in this project is amazing and so well-synced with the dominoes. Couldn't have picked a better song myself.

After watching this many times, i think it is safe to say that this will be no doubt, at least in my opinion, the best domino video of 2021 :) Well done you two

@micajodomino 3 года назад

I've watched this through about 10 times now so i think i can quite confidently say that this is one of my all time favourite domino videos. The amazing thing about this screenlink is that it succeeds on just about every level, not only does each clip have exceptional tricks and beautiful colours, but the video also tells a brilliant story that plays out in perfect tandem with the music. This project feels like a culmination of everything great about the three of your guy's styles as well as just modern building styles in general and it's certainly one to be remembered, amazing work :)

@zhaminoes5830 3 года назад

I could go on and on and talk about how the tricks and colours in this setup were so incredibly creative, and how they absolutely blew me away, but that's, for me atleast, not what really struck me about this video. Don't get me wrong, they made this video something that is just so enjoyable to watch, cause after each clip I was just in absolute awe after seeing it all, seeing all the dominoes fall :) However, I feel that the best part of this video is how it tells a story. The way that you guys were able to tell a story with dominoes is something that I find so very amazing. It's something that I haven't seen done very much before, and definitely not as good as this. The way that the dominoes interacted with the music just enhanced the video so much more. You guys were able to convey emotion, and really set the mood of different parts of the story with this, as well as with the choice of tricks, designs and colours, which I found super neat. You guys created a masterpiece, which may very well be one of my favourite videos that has been created by the domino community so far. Thanks for being awesome!! Hahaha :)

@Luke_Domino 3 года назад

I really like this video, and not just for the amazing and unique tricks that are used in it, but the whole storyline aspect to it, combined with the music is really well done. I am really impressed with how you guys were really able to play with the audience's emotions throughout this entire video, and the way you three were able to communicate and express this in domino art is really great. Every clip follows the theme in the specific scene and even the music, works so well for each clip and goes along with them really well. You three are very talented domino artists and I'm really happy to see videos like these as it really explores the new ways of looking at Domino art in this very storytelling way, and I really love it. Great Job!

The collaboration that we all needed, it needed its own odyssey, many congratulations to you for this collaboration, I think we already have the best domino video this year, I don't know but the idea to put in parts to give it a good context, you really they made me happy and calmer, after the tragic news that happened yesterday in the Mexico City Metro that one of the bridges collapsed and killed many people 😞! ☺️👍

@Eldrich_Z 3 года назад

Very nice

@duncluck. 3 года назад

wow. the power of this song is not to be overlooked. the excellent usage of what I think is minimalism contrasting with an adapting style of compactness is incredible. as usual, colors are spectacular and I feel like there is a much higher amount of contrasting combinations as opposed to one color gradients and mellow combos that used to be able to hide in the shadows of the attractive but are now front and center. the story makes so much sense in how dominoes represent a fast paced series of events, and the variation in pathing of tricks is also very noice in its own right. wow im rambling. wow that was a nice ad I just watched. wow I’m gonna be late to my band concert tonight. don’t care; I needed this. :$
