It’s been 19 months since my last video, and I barely built anything that hiatus. Part of that was due to school, part of it was life, the usual excuses - but I’m back, and hopefully I won’t disappear for long.
The set ups are shown roughly in the order I built them in, with most of the fails coming from inexperience/rustiness (The clip with neutral-colored dominoes was the first time I filmed anything in over a year). I’m really proud of how the second half of the video turned out once I reestablished my footing, especially the last three clips.
Every set up after the intro screenlink contains a signed domino from a builder I’ve met in person at some point in my domino career. I was always planning on returning eventually, but events like community engagement in chats and Jade Decker’s streams inspired me to put aside a week or two to create something I’d be proud to call my own. There wasn’t a plan for any of the set ups, I just went by the color of the signed domino and built from there. I was going to build clips loosely based off of each builder’s style, but I ended up just going with whatever I felt like near the end. Moving as a community towards clips that are satisfying as an accomplishment for the creator instead of solely relying on audience reaction was a trend I wasn’t active for when it began, but it led me to a more fulfilling build experience. I found myself energized to create something new every time I stepped into my build space for the first time in years, and I hope that inspiration doesn’t dry up before the end of the summer so I can make a few more projects. Thanks to all these builders for signing my dominoes in the past, regardless if we ever end up meeting again.

Although I’ve never met them in person or have any signed dominoes from them, I’d also like to thank Micajo Domino, Double Domino, Alejandrium and Luke Domino for being consistently supportive of the build process and almost always being the first ones to comment nice things on my videos, rare as they come.

I was hung up on perfection in the past. I’ve tried to shed it, and now the present has no limits.
