These Setups Become Progressively More Compact

- In my life, I've given up long, restful days of open space for busy, jam-packed days of action and inevitable exhaustion, only to return back to the former, and though it can get tiresome and it's hard to notice, let me tell you - there's beauty to be seen in every single second of it. Of your life, of mine, no matter how busy or how sparse it gets.
This is my most expressive domino video yet. Not only is the whole concept of this video something that reflects my state of mind, but I feel that the setups themselves really illustrate my thoughts, emotions, and memories through a labyrinth of colourful patterns and designs. I focussed a lot more on self-expression in this video, and I feel that these are my most well thought out setups with the most natural pacing and flow I've ever achieved. I encourage all of you, when you are building your own chain reactions (or any other form of art), consider how you can really put your feelings into what you are creating - it makes all the difference and you will be rewarded with something that you truly feel represents you.
An enormous thank you to Flash Domino for collaborating with me on this project, I think this is my best video yet and I wouldn't have been able to do it without you, you are so amazing and thank you for everything you do (He also did the editing - look at those slick af transitions, mmmmMM)

Whoever you are, I hope you have a beautiful day, and remember to take good care of yourself :)
![Incredible Domino Ideas [Twig Contest Entry]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/I6bVMlLSfhg/mqdefault.jpg)
Recently, I’ve been thinking about domino art in a different way… in a more artistic, self-expressive way than I used to think about it. This video perfectly sums up how I want domino art to be treated. It’s not just blowing away the viewer with an incredibly innovative trick or structure. It’s not just pleasing the viewer with a beautiful color combination. It’s so much more than that. Dominoes are an art form… and I don’t think there are that many videos out there that treat it as one. This video, however, was one of the few that I truly felt treated dominoes like a true art form. From watching every single project in this video, I can so easily tell that each individual project really meant something to you guys. I can tell how much freedom you two gave yourselves with every little decision for each individual section in these projects to do what you truly wanted to do. Not a single detail in any of the projects felt like it had too much thought put into it, and that’s what makes this video so special.
Every project in this video is a masterpiece, so I thought I’d write what I have to say about each one, since they’re all such beauties and play such essential roles in making the video what it is.
The 1,000 Dominoes clip:
To me, this setup feels like a really warm welcome into the video. Just a couple cute little tricks and some pleasant designs. Also everything about this setup is so you. The mixed color palette, the little split offs, the way that machine elements are incorporated, and of course Turtwig… everything in this setup reminds me so much of Flash Domino. And that’s why I love it.
The 2,000 Dominoes clip:
Conrad I know that you were really worried going into this setup that it wouldn’t turn out great because it’s so much less compact than your typical style, but you nailed it, and it’s so beautiful to see… it shows that compactness doesn’t necessarily define your style of building. Of course it’s one of the most important aspects of your style, but… it doesn’t really define it. What defines it is your joyful use of colors and all of your little free-style tricks and designs that you put into your setups. I’m really proud of you for pulling this off so well and proving that your style doesn’t revolve around compactness.
The 3,000 Dominoes clip:
I like looking at this setup as two really close friends that have created an unbreakable bond, because this setup has two different sides with different color palettes but they still so nicely interact with each other. It also kinda looks like they’re facing each other 🥰 it’s really cute and the setup is really nicely built. :)
The 4,000 Dominoes clip:
Conrad you’re absolutely killing it with this really artistic style. I love seeing your take on it. There’s something about this setup that just feels so genuine to me. I think it’s that you didn’t overdo anything. Nothing is screaming in your face in this setup. They’re just pleasantly introducing you into their world. I really love how simplistic this setup is - it works great for an artistic style. And of course that city-landscape thing was really well done!
The 5,000 Dominoes clip:
Oh my gosh this is just about the most Flash Domino setup I could possibly think of. Everything in this one is just so you, and it’s honestly really refreshing to see, since we haven’t seen a lot of good ol Flash Domino setups recently. It feels like a welcome back type of thing, since it’s been so long since the last setup that’s truly your style. It’s such a beautifully done welcome back, and I feel like this setup has everything that makes your style your style. Thank you for reminding me of the beauty of Flash Domino.
The 6,000 Dominoes clip:
This setup is everything. I literally mean everything. I really feel like I can see the entire progression of you as a domino builder, all in this one setup. I can see the old officialsillypoo from 2016/2017 in this setup, with videos like compact colors or the finale of domino rally 14, while at the same time, it shows me how unbelievably much you’ve developed since then. Not even just your building style, but you as a person as well. It’s so heart-warming to watch this setup and think about how much you have progressed over the years, and what amazing things you have become. Thank you for reminding me of that.
Honestly, I don’t even think that the clip-by-clip analysis was enough for me to express how this video makes me feel. I guess all I have to say is thank you. Thank you for making this video that literally had me in tears, and thank you for making such an incredible impact on the community. Both of you have completely transformed the shape of the domino community with your compact and incredibly fun to watch styles. If either of you are ever having a really bad day and don’t feel like you’re worth it, just remember that you two have made some incredible things and are two incredible people. I’m so happy that I’ve gotten to know both of you so well. Take care :)

I definitely think of domino building as an art form, at least, that's how I approach it.
I definitely agree to this but who has the time to Wright it
@@spudgesdominos3041 not every day does an incredible piece of art and expression happen, taking the time to appreciate something like this is totally worth every second.
It is an art form you can use for anything you want, whether it is colorful, expressive, or for fun. 😃
How did you make compact domino setups so emotionally deep?
In my life, I've given up long, restful days of open space for busy, jam-packed days of action and inevitable exhaustion, only to return back to the former, and though it can get tiresome and it's hard to notice, let me tell you - there's beauty to be seen in every single second of it.

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE! You and Flash have mastered the act of filling little spaces with as many dominoes as you can, while also incorporating risky tricks and very eye-catching designs, instead of just regular domino lines that are super close together. The elevation changes are something that I really appreciate as well. There were also many examples of unexpected multi-use elements used in these projects, a couple being the platform swinging into the dominoes at the start of the 5000 domino setup, and the small wooden staircase falling over in the 6000 domino setup. This video will hopefully be a great inspiration for a lot of builders, because it certainly will be for me. I also noticed the title of the video is inspired from QBNDT’s “These Projects Become Progressively More Stupid” which is something I found funny.
I’m so glad that this wasn’t an April Fools joke although I did get fooled because I thought this was a joke but it wasn’t so I guess this video is also the definition of fools-ception
Thank you, Gran ;) Happy April Fools haha
I’ll tell you, I can probably fit 2,000 dominoes in that area at most. Keep these compact setups coming, they are my favourite! Awesome work for both of you!
Awesome video! Great to see you not only back in action, but also two of my favorite domino builders working together! Although the challenge of compact spaces is nothing new for you, I was impressed by the level of ingenuity reflected throughout your setups (as always). The tricks at 2:09, 4:38, and 4:52 were remarkable, not to mention that many of the other domino tricks and structures throughout the video were also pretty sweet (I also really liked the color combination at 2:38). Also, you are insane for putting that bounce at 4:50 in a domino setup. I've always loved how distinguishable your setups are from other domino builders, and this video is no exception. Looking forward to seeing what you do for 11BC3!
(Ik there are more than 11 builders this time but I'm still calling it 11BC3).
thank you so much. all of these videos really inspire me
This is incredible!!!!!!
How did you make the tower at the end of the 4,000 domino project??? If there is a tutorial could you please tell me where it is , that tower was amazing and it fell so easily which I am looking for, thanks!
very nice!! :)
How do you edit out the breaks in the setup so well, especially with a handheld camera? Even though the fails are noticeable, the setup still feels smooth and barely interrupted.
Yeah that was Alex who did the editing! I experimented with staying at as similar of an angle as possible, and then we’d try to line up the frames from before and after the break the best we could (this included doing a cut mid-launch at the end of the 2K setup) we felt that for a video like this having a smooth flow was important, and didn’t want to have any potentially awkward and unnecessary camera angle switches to not sacrifice the fluidity of the whole video
#see
yes this is very cool. very impressive :o
Nice!
This is spectacular. I'm blown away. I really appreciate the compactness of the whole project, and you guys really showed that even if your building space is small, you can have a cohesive and large setup. Your color combinations are flawless and the layouts of the setups are extremely well designed. Also, you edit out the fails really well.
Your awesome, I do trickshots to too, if you want to see. I consider dominos as trickshots because they are awesome!! They’re so hard to set up I’ll give you full credit for those actually awesome! It takes so much patience because if you mess up ones then everything goes now! That’s happened to me so many times and it drives me crazy!
Nice
This was amazing you two. The best compact builders ever. Happy 1st of April. =3
You express yourself well, both in writing and in dominoes. You see the beauty in life and in return, I see the beauty in what you create. And believe me, I love it!
The 2000 domino setup was entertaining, engaging, and stimulating - there was always some unorthodox motion or path coming up, something interesting to look forward to, as the dominoes danced towards the finale (and what a FLIP!). It was already a solid start, and boy did it get me hyped...
The 4000 domino setup had a nice balance! There were parallel showcases of a single trick type, clever transitions using string, and a very nice non-linear path owing in part to clever use of elevation -- all things I like to see in a domino setup! The back and forth in front of the domino wall (2:32 and 2:37 too!) was very pleasing to watch, and the "Twig" and "FD" in the pillars were a nice touch.
As for the 6000 domino setup. The pathing was _next level._ There is little I can compare this to, besides your other work. It's non-linearity, a concept I first fell in love with in Toothpaste35 machines, taken to a level far beyond anything I could imagine, and in a _domino setup_, not a machine. The clever transitions through structures, with bounces, with collapsing structures, and with large moving objects helped make this a reality, and the end result is truly phenomenal. This domino setup was engaging, it was mystifying, and it blew my mind. It is truly better designed and more thoroughly planned than most machines, let alone other domino setups. I'm not even going to name specific tricks. It's just the entire thing, dude. There were so many little motions that were so aesthetic, back-and-forths or up-and-downs or down-and-acrosses, and the sum of these parts was so captivating. In the setups you build, the placement of every single domino truly does matter.
Amazing!
Thank you so much for this comment Chase `^ - ^`
Oohhh that are some juicy setups! I especially like the last one!
Wow
WOWWW!! THis IS GreaTT!!!! No wAY!!! My setups are getting more compact, and bigger because of you!! Thank you :).
That was awesome, I subscribed. I just made my tallest domino tower which was 8 feet tall, and I would love all of your support
2:23 i just noticed those letters “T W I G” and “F D” on those wooden blocks which is a cute small detail :d
Good job Twig, you 3.370 Subscribe!
This is really awesome !
If someone had to make a video about compact setups it obviously hat to be you both
I'm amazed by how compact you get to fit dominoes WITHOUT IT FAILING (or at least so much less than it normally should ;)
If I only saw this last clip I would've said you are just the luckiest man on earth for getting it to work that great. Thing is... you do this all the time... And it works all the time !
It's just physically impossible !
But again this is just amazing work so keep on doing such great stuff.
Hahaha thank you so much :)
Epic
Totally compacted! Not just great, but AMAZINGLY COMPACT!
Nice. I liked the part at 2:37, and 6000 looked awesome just standing.
Super amazing!
congrats!!! You won the 28 domino challenge.
Great domino toppling designs! I really enjoyed how compact it got while keeping the action going all over the place!
This video was absolutely incredible Conrad! You did a really nice job on your 2k, 4k and 6k compact setups! These setups never look easy to make, so it's nice to see someone that knows what they're doing make some compact setups! I loved this video! Keep up the great work Conrad!
How the flip did you fit 6000 dominoes in that space. One word incredible
You guys are thinking so deferent when you're building, the projects were blowminding and the idea is great, nice work!
My favourites are 4000 and 6000 dominoes

Cool!
I remember I used to watch your videos all the time I used to be Lord pie domino's Its really nice to see the og builders from the community still going and improving. Even though I've quit several years ago I'm glad to see the community is still doing well and people are still doing what they enjoy. Have a nice day
Thanks so much for this comment - I hope you are doing well ;)
wow you're just beautiful, I only have two thousand dominoes I would like as many as you have, you're just great!
You can still do a lot with 2000, as we showed in the earlier setups!
This is amazing! So satisfying! How long did it take you guys to build all of this?
We have both been working on this since December, the final setup alone took two months of building
@@OfficialSillypooDominoes17 wow, that's crazy man
@@tonkotsuproductions9146 Thanks for sticking around and watching my videos :) I appreciate it
I LOVE this video and cant stop watching it. You totally inspire me to build more compact setups and I love your unique way of fitting tons of dominoes in a small space with tons of tricks that always fail when I do them, but you find a way to build around the problems and setup the most unique and hard tricks, if you have any time, would you mind helping me out and giving advice? It would be appreciated.
P.S CANT STOP WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL AND THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE VIDEO ON UA-cam
Thank you so much! Im hoping to make a full, in-depth guide of how to make compact setups soon - feel free to DM me on Instagram @twig_73 if you have any questions or need advice with your setups!
Ok thanks! I might just wait to see if you do a tutorial on how to make compact setups
1:15 Ahem
Yes i had to throw a domino to continue the wall because it stopped, and I feel absolutely no shame in doing so. The setup is beautiful nonetheless
