On this site, we’ve written about domino displays featuring 15,000Opens in a new tab, 78,000Opens in a new tab, and even 80,000Opens in a new tab dominoes, so you’d think we’d just bat our eyes at a setup featuring only 4,200 bricks. With all displays, though, it’s about presentation, and this 360-degree video from FlippyCatOpens in a new tab puts you in the middle of a circle of dominoes, and it’s an interesting watch (via SploidOpens in a new tab).
As with all 360-degree YouTube videos, you can explore your virtual environment by moving your phone around, or if you’re on a desktop setup, by clicking and dragging or using AWSD. Once you acclimate yourself, you can watch the wall gradually fall down around you, pillars of pink, red, yellow, green, orange, purple, and blue collapsing before your eyes. Just when you think it’s over, the video is reversed and it looks like the arrangement is quickly being put back together by a duper dexterous ghost.
What’s too bad is initially, this video was slated to be even more impressive. “I had a larger wall originally, but it fell down when I was starting to fill the center with bridges/dominoes to follow along looking down,” the video’s description reads. For aspiring 360-degree video filmographers, it turns out that the price of entry for making clips like this isn’t terribly out of reach. This video was filmed with a 360Fly 4K cameraOpens in a new tab, which currently retail for about $400.
Check out the clip above, and let us know of any other cool 360-degree videos you’ve seen. Personally, I think Foals’Opens in a new tab music video for “Mountain At My Gates”Opens in a new tab is pretty neat.
