Dominoes Everywhere for the holidays

A screenshot of the holiday dominoes appearing on CNN

Just a few weeks after posting this video online, I could tell it was already going to be quite a hit. Besides seeing the view counts increase steadily on both Vimeo and YouTube, it also caught the eye of CNN and appeared on a CNN Newsroom “viral video rewind” segment. It won Most Popular Holiday Video in the Break.com Homepage Contest, and thus received 150,000 views on that site. It also ranked 8th place in a poll on HuffPost.com of 15 Amazing Dominoes Masterpieces.

A full year later on Christmas morning, I awoke to a huge surprise. Actor Neil Patrick Harris tweeted about the video (and actor Seth Green retweeted it) causing it to receive over 33,000 views in less than a week.
