Check out this amazing video.

I wonder how long it took them to prepare this little display?

Random thoughts:

Gee, I wish I had that much spare time on my hands.

If I had that much spare time on my hands, that would be one of the last things I'd do.

Who cleans up after these guys? Does that job pay? Nah...probably someone's kid sister.

Cool, but is there a decent career one can launch into from this line of endeavor?

Where's my Mexican Train domino set?

Here kitty, kitty, kitty.

I'm not a Zoo, but over the years I've played one on radio/TV. .

Creative, yes. And very time-consuming. But, no doubt, rewarding to the folks who did it. And that's cool.

Not to change the subject, but to share something I think is a bit more creative (award-winning, actually), as well as a nod to Rube Goldberg. Made in 2003, it took over 600 takes to get everything just so:

Now THAT's dedication.

Thanks for sharing the vid, Bob! Dominoes are awesome. I had a Chain Lightning set as a kid, and couldn't get enough of it, but never tried anything as complex as what that guy does. Wow!

I would imagine that guys who do this sort of thing on that level probably have special tools or other devices to speed up the set up process.

I always wonder where they find that much clean, smooth floor space to work uninterrupted.

That really is quite amazing.

I loved the sound of the dominoes as they fell.

(I remember having a domino setter machine with our Domino Rally set.)

If you liked that one, you're gonna love this...
We pulled this stunt in Holland for quite a number of years now, and I was involved in a promo for the event... not my voice though. I did part of the sound design Laugh
