In summary: That was really cool. I love how it's not edited together in any way.It's just a bunch of shots that were taken over a period of time.I can't believe it only took 600 takes.That's amazing.

This is probably old, but it is so cool!

I hate to think how long it took to design and set it up.

I had just seen that video before i came here. It's pretty cool even if clearly the whole thing wasn't a single run.

Look at the perfect camera angles and the small room vs. the huge amount of things. Fake.

Very nice indeed, but I'm afraid that the Dutch will be underwhelmed as they are terribly spoiled with the annual http://www.dominodomain.com/cat/13

It certainly seems intriguing... if only I could see it. Is there any particular reason why it's restricted to a 1" x 2" frame?

Looks like it was shot in several takes, due to the sunshine in one section then a window glimps shows night time. It was fun to watch.

All I see is a big black box. The video doesn't seem to be inclined to play for me.

The intro says specifically "Made with the Magic of Montage." Don't be offended that it was shot in multiple takes.

Well, I'm at work now and the video is about 3 times bigger on this machine... but I still can't tell what the hell half of those things are or what they're doing.
Still, it's neat to watch. Now... off to watch Andre's link. :biggrin:

edit: WTF? All that I see there is still pictures.

One christmas I asked for a domino tumbling kit. What a rip off! the "dominos" were about 1/4 the size of a normal domino. and they were attatched to little sections of train tracks with a hinge. You tilted the track and all the dominos stood up then you carefully set it down and lined up the tracks. It only worked in one direction and was so wimpy it wouldn't even knock over a real domino when I tried to combine the kit with my set. Plus, one trip through my ring of fire and the hinges fused and the whole thing was useless.

Was that Domino Rally? I had some of that. Yeah it was pretty cheap.

That vid is cool though, although it stops at an odd point. It was good fun, but kinda marred by the fact it wasn't one continuous take.

Here's something very cool:

It doesn't even use CGI apparently, and it took over 600 takes!
