Fun With H5 Domino Creations

24 December 2021

A fun collection of some NEW and some old clips using H5 Domino Creations sets and their accessories.

This screenlink is split into 3 sections. Starting with the first H5DC introduction sets (blue,white,yellow,red), then moving to the neon colour sets (blue, orange, pink, green), and then finally a combination of both set colours.

The scenes for the individual sets were made for @Hevesh5's collab videos for each set, which you may have already seen. If not, you can watch them here:

Two newer techniques I've used in this video include a pyramid where the dominoes sort of slide down the edge, and @B16Dominoes's splitting towers. I did a lot of experiments with splitting towers, so there are several versions in this video. I first seen the beginnings of the sliding pyramid technique in a video by tsd_flips (with only a couple layers) and was reminded of it when AlyenMino shared their own single layer version in the domino & machine community discord. It also works as a wall! I think this is a new technique, if you've seen this by anyone else, please let me know.

Oh no, our table, it's broken!

PHENOMENAL Domino Screenlink

27 June 2021

Thank you for watching this #domino collaboration put together by Klein24, with me and @B16Dominoes. Klein24 began this project at the beginning of this year, and we hope you found it satisfying! We would appreciate your thumbs up and comments letting us know you liked it!

An early theme for this project was cool tricks with cool colours. For my scenes in the Phenomenal Domino Screenlink I represented a different shape in each setup. Triangles, square, circle and a star.

For the shooting star I wanted to use Bulk Dominoes BD 5000 launcher accessories to throw streamers across the room somehow, but I couldn't come up with an idea I liked. After I decided I would have a shapes theme to work with, I seen a shooting star shape and thought using the ribbons as the tail of a shooting start would be a great visual effect. At the time I had also been making some screenlink clips with the new H5 Domino Creations Neon set from Hevesh5 (#h5dominocommunity), and wanted to incorporate the cool colour combo into this setup. This is probably my favourite of my scenes.

For the 'circle' scene, I used a new technique by BlockParty! called the Spinal Tower (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrkTIPKj1b0). With a spinal tower, the towers tip over, but hold together more than a regular tower structure would, sending more dominoes further away from the tower's base. I thought this would be a good way to fill in the center of an empty circle, and think it worked well? Some block heads familiar with this domino trick might notice I modified the Spinal Tower in my setup so I could trigger the towers from the inside instead of the original.

In the 'triangles' scene I wanted to make use of the mini transparent dominoes paired with a matching or close solid colour. This was heavily inspired by a cool rainbow domino colour combination I had seen DakSen The Fox use with regular sized transparent dominoes (see: https://youtu.be/_XLjst5VJl4?t=34). I got lucky and was able to make a very clean edit on the continuing line where the purple 2d domino pyramid broke through.

The 'square' crossover field started out as an experiment with the line crossover trick. The initial concept was to decrease the dominoes between each intersection over multiple scenes. Each scene would get more dense with fewer dominoes between each crossover. The giant 2x2 spaced field I started with looked pretty amazing on it's own, so only this scene was included to represent a square. Getting this technique to work reliably in a dense grid with only 2 dominoes between each crossover in both directions was a challenge and involved hours of trial and error effort. You might spot a small edit here, but the fall was a success.

To wrap things up, 'THE END' clip was designed to match the 'START' scene, using the same line colour, and pattern as the first scene Klein24 created. Did you notice the colour and pattern connection?
