Marbles, Magnets, and Music (Synchronized)

I've taken the piece "Waltz of the Flowers" by Tchaikovsky, and synchronized it to a chain reaction marble run by hand. After listening to parts of this song hundreds of times to match things up I went a bit crazy.

When i searched the encyclopedia for an explanation of the word "Awesomeness", it just referred to this video.

You, sir, have an amazing understanding of physics, magnets, and earth shattering awesomeness.
You blew my mind. Just... Wow.

Oh. My. God. This is one of those concepts that people have thought of in the past, but abandoned the idea because of how difficult it would be. There have been some attempts at a music-synchronized chain reaction/domino screenlink in the past, but they were all missing something, and they didn't really feel like they really fit with the song. This video finally takes that concept to the limits and does it perfectly!! I am completely blown away by how well-timed this is. I don't know how you do it, but you continue to amaze with every video. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

I thought the entire thing was vertical until 1:40

Now I am having an existential crisis

I can’t even begin to wrap my head around how difficult this must have been. I understand that it’s not just one long track, but a whole bunch of separate courses that are edited together in post, as well as keeping some sounds in while muting some others, but that doesn’t take away how much fuckin’ planning each and every scene had to have taken.

New Line Rider synchronization video coming relatively soon! I'm making good progress.

2:33 probably the best bit. Because I didn't expect it to curve that way. That was awesome :D

[DrMcNinjaSixthGun]

I could feel my heart rate go up because the thought of it missing a magnet or getting stuck. I knew it wouldn't because you wouldn't upload the mistakes, but still the anxiety was there.

This is so amazing.

Before video: Gravity is a force that pulling things down into earth

After video: wtf is gravity?

Can't wait for YouTube to recommend this to everyone in 7 years

Am I the only one wondering the angle of the white board/table?

[crazydomino]

AMAZING editing, this is so creative and it looks so hard to plan the timing of the chain reaction and the music together, awesome work!

When science and classical music come doesn't even partly describe it

Ahh waltz of the flowers. A very beautiful song that will always be my favorite looney toons episode with Daffy duck. Thank you cartoons for helping me to appreciate such great works of classical music

[DoctorFrenchie]

This no longer works.
They patched it in the most recent update.

Dear Youtube,
this is the content we want, not Jake Paul.
Sincerely,
Everyone. x

Other people: HOW DID YOU SET THIS UP IN YOUR MIND?


Me: I wonder how long it is took him to keep the dominos up

[attakrus]

That was a beautiful piece! A round of applause to you, good sir!
