Is this the name of it? Is it called the Domino Effect? Or has it got a proper name for it.

This is what I mean:


People make their own too, I saw one with cameras the other day which looks pretty good, what is the best one you have seen and is there a proper name for it?
 
I used to love this advert!

Guessing it's for your whole magical interest? or are you planning a massive scale OcUK advert with PC parts xD

Looking at it again, that must have been a massive hallway! Annnnnd, I'd imagine if you went to really fine tolerances you may have issues with life and general uncontrollable factors. I'd be interested to know how many times they had to film that advert and reset it up.

Heh, I have the DVD of that one.

The best I ever saw was a filler program on bbc2 once, when some sporting event finished early, it was absolutely amazing.

It was ~1/2 hr long IIRC and was done in time lapse, so it must have taken ages in rl :eek:

It had things like paint tins tipping over, slowly oozing down slides and mixing with other chemicals and waiting for reactions, hence the time lapse :)
 
I remember the Domino princible as explained by Phil Collins.

Something happens to those people over here, it affects this which affects that which affects this which affects that which affects those people over there.

And something happens to those people over there, it affects this which affects that which affects this which affects that which affects those people over here.

Sometimes it affects the people right at the very back. Who have no friends at all!

:D


 
haha some of those are epic, real thought gone into them but the honda is the best by far. I remember watching the TV Show on how it was made.
 
I just call it...dominoes.

Or dominoes falling down, dominoes tumbling down, dominoes falling one by one or dominoes cascading in a wonderful display of mans prowess to achieve a brilliant cascade of toppling rectanguloid objects.
