lol. Was putting logs into a wood burner stove. I had two stacks of wood. I turn to a noise and I see them both falling and crashing and I’m like “I wish I could’ve recorded that.”
Was this the result planned? It looked like this would have far more activity for much longer, but that one upright stack up front seemed to do exactly as it was set up to do. As the first run comes around, it takes out that stack's left side support, and the stack was not centered on its base, so of course it fell over. Being big enough, it demolished that main span and the world ended spectacularly. Although this was awesome to see anyway, the original plan must have been jaw-dropping.
My guess is this is just the end clip of a longer video. At the start you can see red dominos that appear to have already been knocked over and leading up to where this clip starts.
If you ever have a chance, watch Buddhist monks make a sand mandala. Days of work creating something beautiful just to brush it all away once they’re done. Wait, lemme find a video… Okay, found one!
As an Etch A Sketch preserver I approve of your analogy (totally get where you were coming from tho @TORQD!). Most of my art is actually still erased these days! I'd say at least 90%
Sidewalk art and every domino rally is equally pointless by that metric. The short-lived nature is part of the expression. Had they not recorded it you may have a stronger point.
The way pieces lose momentum on the ground so fast, and the last tower to fall, which was what tipped me off first. It does the bounce thing, goes too perfectly straight back up, and almost reaches, or does reach it's original height, which would need a firm spring to accomplish. Explaining it sounds stupid, but you can see it. Look at the guys picture with the red squares and watch those areas.
Just for my part, I wanted this to be fake so I went looking for the "fake."
I am genuinely curious if that is real or not. Most of the movement is perfect, it's just that last tower seemed to be under too much compression. There's almost nothing to give away that it's fake, other than the insane scale of it.
Yeah, but it *could* be real, because it was all built under compression. I'm 99.9% sure it's rendered, but things are getting horribly close to photorealistic now.
Pretty good. It almost looked like a reused effect. Aside from the springy bois, and the way they lose kinetic energy so fast, this is, what is this? Proof of concept? Or just someone literally playing dominoes in Boender
Ah, thanks. Also I'm an idiot and was thinking, even in blender, he just knocked it all down and will have to set it all back up! Or.... ya know. Animation and computers and such.

This type of art reminds me of people who are creative on the Etch-a-sketch. You have a picture and the witness’ for your proof, that’s it.
Your work is purposefully erased in seconds.
Almost true living in the present.

I forget her name, but there's an imgurian that does etch-a-sketch art and preserves them

She used to have a channel on YouTube.
TORQD
Bad analogy. Go check out @pikajane if you want to see permanent (and amazing) Etch-o-Sketch art.
someguy7734206
She uses a specific process to permanently preserve it. Otherwise, the art would be gone in just a few shakes.

As an Etch A Sketch preserver I approve of your analogy (totally get where you were coming from tho @TORQD!). Most of my art is actually still erased these days! I'd say at least 90%

Not terribly unlike street art or edible art, tbh. There is beauty in the ephemeral.

Would it be less pointless if it were AI or CGI? IMO, It'd be even more pointless in that case.

Yeah, but you can enjoy a snowman for awhile. This has just collapsed in an ugly way.

Domino structures usually break down in a controlled way, making the sight entertaining. This has just collapsed, like a building in an earthquake.

You can also see the red pieces on the left pop up for a second after they fall

Oh, it IS a simulation, just one using the realworld physics engine that we use every day, whether we want to or not!

haha, guys someone immediately found the original video and it's quite real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE27NWECvCY - courtesy of @MeTomie.
Determining if something is real or just good VFX is extremely hard, and even pros can have a hard time (check out Corridor Crew sometime).

Sauce is cool, thank you! I stand corrected.

The first vertical bit that tumbles to the left causes the horizontal bit it lands on to go BOING
