Design and construct an elaborate domino chain reaction that incorporates multiple levels, turns, and creative obstacles like ramps, triggers, and mechanical elements. The real artistry is in planning a sequence that tells a visual story as it unfolds - maybe spelling words, creating patterns, or activating other objects. Film the final run from multiple angles, because you'll want to analyze every satisfying second of your kinetic masterpiece.

“I built a HUGE domino tower to mark the transition from 2021 to 2022! I built this for Lily Hevesh and Hevesh5 Inc and they edited it for me and it was used by YouTube to upload as a YouTube short on Instagram and Google. Check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CYKwbmDBHMG/ This entire tower was nearly as tall as I am and it was a lot of fun to design and build. The best part was that I got to build it in my own apartment, but that came with some new challenges. First of all, I had to completely rearrange my room so that I could build the tower against the only bare wall. I also had to play around with lighting for this, since my apartment bedroom does not have any overhead lights. This forced me to be a bit creative with my lights and cameras, but I think it turned out okay. Lastly, now that I think of it, this may be the largest (girth) tower I have built with the most dominoes. I have made domino structures with more dominoes, but never one this tall. I learned that I REALLY need a sturdier adjustable surface to build on for next time.”
