Hey everyone. My name is Lily Hevesh - also known as
Hevesh5. I'm a domino artist and I'll be setting up
thousands of dominoes to celebrate the twentieth
anniversary of Lego Harry Potter. It's going to be a ton
of fun and I'm so excited because I'm a huge Harry Potter
fan and I love building with Lego Bricks. So, this is like
the perfect combination and these Lego Harry Potter sets
are seriously the coolest things ever. I'm going to show
you the whole process of creating this video. So, sit
back, relax, and enjoy.
So, this style of video is what's called a screen link
where I'll build a domino project and then I won't show
the beginning or the end of it. So, that way I can make a bunch
of screen link clips and then edit it together using a
continuous domino line so it makes it look like it's one big
project, when really every clip is separate. It's just all
edited together. And this is a way to make the project look
super big, without needing a ton of floor space.
This is the Hogwarts chessboard literally made out of Lego
bricks and it's a fully functioning chessboard with
the custom characters. So, in this scene, I'm going to have
the King Topple over and I think what I have to do is I
need to tape it down. Now, it's tape hinged down so it can only
fall in this exact path because I don't want it to like fly
everywhere. I just want like a very clean fall.
Hold on a minute. The fainter's trick didn't work. What in the
world? I did not expect that part to fail.
Wow. Oh, I forgot to press record on this camera. So, I have a whole bunch of Lego minifigures. And I'm going to set up Lego bricks as dominoes and have them topple around the minifigures.
This is so cool. The wand arm moves like even his head turns.
That is so cool.
Now that the bridge is built, I can put the Harry Potter brick
built maxifigure in place.
We have the tiny minifigure and then the giant maxi figure.
Progress is going well so far. I've reached the height where I
can now place, check this out, this is Fawkes the Phoenix made
out of Lego bricks and look, even the wings, if you crank
this, it'll turn and the wings will flap. And I'm going to put
Fawkes on top of this pedestal and then build the wall a little
bit higher. So, it'll kind of reveal Fawkes as the wall topples
over.
I'm dressed up in my Gryffindor robe and I will be starting the
domino project with this wand. I'll be tapping the fall wall
and I'm going to say Reducto and then the fall wall is going to
crash down and it'll start the chain reaction. Ready? Reducto!
Oh my god. It failed. No way.
So now, I'm going to be working on a Harry Potter field. This
is the field plan. There are 5487 Dominoes in this field and
it is nine feet wide. The way this works is it's kind of like
a pixel art grid and every domino here that's represented
through this pixel is built with a domino template. So, all
I need to do is look at the plan. It tells me exactly how
many dominoes in each row to put in the template and then
the template will space it perfectly in a straight line
evenly spaced and then we have a full domino field. Making the
plan itself is also very time consuming but the end result is
always going to be worth it.
Alright, that's a wrap. Mischief managed.
