The tricks that finally worked
1
This was the first of my trials. Naturally it took a long time as I had to learn the ropes and standard rules of dominoes (jenga). I decided to add in extra balls especially at the end to give the variation of speed within the routine that I had said I wanted. The original set up shows a snooker with a blue ball between the red and white (middle top picture). Bit safe and steady if you ask me.

An obvious obsticle would be a ladder to drop of jenga piles again to interupt the rythm of the routine as well and variating the speed of the falling bricks. I found that by placing the bricks closer together conjures up more acceleration-great for pushing on other things...

Here by adding in bricks at an obscure angle gives the ball direction after it has been pushed by the originally dominoes and then by other balls as a knock on effect. This took a fair few trials to get the angles spot on to knock on the rest of the routine. During filming-by filming the bridge further down it shows how intricate the construction of the routine was. One of my favourites...

Lanes and cross overs. The joined together jenag blocks worked really well for a direction guide. There was no worry of it wondering off ans upplied great momentum for the rest of the routine. The cross over was might tricky. Took a fair few goes. Brilliant at the end though. Even re did it having its own camera angle. This should happen lots I reckon. I really want to make the most of some of the more intricate parts. Maybe slow them up to see in slow motion.

The bridge was hell. It took a good dozen times to capture it. Do it again though because once its done its done. I think this is another of my favourites. I think by placing the white ball in front of the stack of jenga seen above to be hit agin by the later on coming dominoes was a really big step in developing the routines I was thinking up.
