People just like watching things fall for some reason, it's almost hypnotizing.

人們就是喜歡看東西掉下來，不知道為什麼，這幾乎是催眠。

My name is lily heavy ish and I am a domino artist, which means I set up thousands of dominoes and intricate arrangements and patterns and then I knock them down.

我的名字叫Lily Heavy ish，我是一個多米諾骨牌藝術家，這意味著我設置了成千上萬的多米諾骨牌和複雜的排列和圖案，然後我把它們敲下來。

Lily is the most popular domino artists on Youtube with two million subscribers and half a billion views.

Lily是Youtube上最受歡迎的多米諾骨牌藝人，擁有200萬訂閱者和5億點擊量。

Perfect.

完美的。

Yes, but not everybody gets it.

是的，但不是每個人都能明白。

I get a lot of comments on Youtube, someone will be like dominoes, that's not an art form.

我在Youtube上收到很多評論，有人會像多米諾骨牌一樣，那不是一種藝術形式。

Anyone can do that.

任何人都可以做到這一點。

They don't understand what goes into a domino setup.

他們不明白多米諾骨牌的設置是怎麼回事。

Behind every successful project is a lot of painstaking work.

每一個成功的項目背後，都有很多艱辛的付出。

Over the past decade.

在過去的十年裡。

She spent thousands of hours building projects like these elaborate domino chains that have made fans out of celebrities set multiple records and earned her a massive online following.

她花了數千小時建造項目，比如這些精心設計的多米諾骨牌鏈，讓粉絲們從名人中脫穎而出，創造了多項記錄，併為她贏得了大量的網絡粉絲。

But even with all that experience, each project carries the same risk.

但即使有這麼多經驗，每個項目都有同樣的風險。

It's going to knock down at some points and you just have to learn how to deal with that And get past and keep rebuilding.

在某些時候會被擊倒 你必須學會如何處理這個問題，然後過去，繼續重建。

Keep doing it.

繼續做。

Even if it fails.

即使失敗了。

She calls her favorite project the amazing triple spiral.

她稱自己最喜歡的項目為驚人的三螺旋。

It took eight days and 15,000 dominoes to set up lily also works on teams.

用了8天時間，15000張多米諾骨牌，成立了百合也是團隊合作。

She was one of two leads on this massive setup which took 19 builders, 250 1000 dominoes in a full week to construct from start to finish.

她是這個龐大設置的兩個主角之一，這個設置從頭到尾花了19個建造者，250個1000張骨牌，用了整整一週的時間來建造。

It fell for an astonishing 12 minutes and 39 seconds and broke three records, including largest overall domino project in America when I'm building, it's like I'm almost in a trance and I like get into the zone of where I could just focus on the dominoes and create something that I think of and make it come to life.

它以12分39秒的驚人速度墜落，並打破了三項紀錄，包括美國最大的多米諾骨牌項目，當我在建造時，我幾乎是在恍惚中，我喜歡進入這樣的區域，我可以只專注於多米諾骨牌，並創造一些我認為的東西，並讓它成為現實。

Some people are very square and geometric with their lines and kind of like free form and I like go all over the place with my setups and I think that's why people like it because they can always be surprised by what's gonna come next.

有些人的線條很方正，很有幾何感，有點喜歡自由形式，而我喜歡在我的設置上到處走，我想這也是人們喜歡它的原因，因為他們總是能對接下來的事情感到驚訝。

Domino's aren't the only ingredient.

多米諾不是唯一的原料。

She also mixes in rube Goldberg like tricks which allow even more opportunities to think in three dimensions.

她還混入了類似於rube Goldberg的技巧，讓人們有更多的機會進行三維思考。

To start a project lily first decides which elements to build around.

要啟動一個項目，百合首先要決定圍繞哪些元素進行構建。

So there's a lot of names for different tricks.

所以不同的招數有很多名字。

The most standard ones are abdominal line, abdominal curve, abdominal field, tower, wall, pyramid.

最標準的有腹線、腹曲、腹地、塔、牆、金字塔。

There's a lot of tricks.

有很多的技巧。

I do all the structures first.

我先做所有的結構。

Um so that's like the walls, the towers and in case one of those towers followed by accident, it won't knock down or that other things around it.

嗯... ...所以就像牆壁，大廈... ...萬一這些大廈中的一個跟著發生意外， 它不會擊倒或其他東西在它周圍。

And then after I do all the structures, I do all the flat projects which is the fields, the lines, the turns, this is a direction changer.

然後在我做完所有的結構之後，我做所有的平面項目，就是田野、線條、轉彎，這是一個方向的改變。

So when the clear domino hits the top of it it will spin And then it'll hit the yellow one, make it go in a 90° angle and then I connect it all with a single dominant line.

所以當透明的骨牌撞到上面的時候就會旋轉 然後撞到黃色的骨牌，讓它呈90°角，然後我用一條主導線把它連接起來。

I think the main thing is just being calm and precise, so there are two main ways for a project to fail.

我覺得最主要的就是要冷靜、準確，所以一個項目失敗的主要方式有兩種。

One is if the chain gets stuck and doesn't fall all the way through in one tape and then of course there are accidental falls.

一個是如果鏈條被卡住了，在一帶中沒有全部掉下來，當然也有不小心掉下來的情況。

Okay?

好嗎？

No, yeah, I've knocked it down by accident a couple of times as a dominant builder, you have to learn to get through fails and just try to figure out what failed how to improve it and get better to avoid accidental knockdowns.

不，是的，我作為一個主導型的建築商，不小心打倒過幾次，你要學會度過失敗，只需要努力找出失敗的地方如何改進，讓自己變得更好，避免意外的打倒。

She uses a fail safe technique as I'm building.

她用的是失敗安全技術，因為我在建造。

I make safety gaps by taking out like five dominoes here and there and if I knock it down by accident it will stop at that gap so it doesn't knock down the whole thing Got to be super, super careful, especially because I'm like in this setup right now feeling and safety gaps is probably the most stressful part of it because if you knock it down, it could knock down the whole thing.

我通過在這裡和那裡取出像五張多米諾骨牌來製造安全間隙，如果我不小心把它打倒了，它就會停在那個間隙裡，所以它不會把整個事情打倒，得超級超級小心，特別是因為我現在就像在這個設置中感覺和安全間隙可能是最緊張的部分，因為如果你把它打倒了，它可能會把整個事情打倒。

So it's pretty tense.

所以很緊張。

After her first viral video in 2013, it became clear that this was no longer just a hobby.

在2013年她的第一個病毒視頻之後，她清楚地意識到這不再只是一個愛好。

Domino card is my full time job.

多米諾卡是我的全職工作。

Currently right now I'm traveling around the world doing projects for companies who want their logo done in domino's.

目前，我正在周遊世界，為那些希望用多米諾做標誌的公司做項目。

I've done commercials and different things for ad agencies to recreate images from pop culture or logos like this.

我為廣告公司做過廣告和不同的事情，從流行文化或標誌中重新創造這樣的影像。

She starts on her computer.

她開始在電腦上。

So when I do a picture out of dominoes first I'll find the image online and then there's a computer program on Microsoft Excel where you put the image that you find online beneath the cells.

所以當我做一張多米諾骨牌的圖片出來的時候，首先我會在網上找到圖片，然後在微軟Excel上有一個電腦程序，你把網上找到的圖片放在單元格下面。

And it'll actually convert the cells into a domino pixel.

而且它實際上會將單元格轉換成一個多米諾像素。

Then she prints out a step by step guide on how to recreate the image and domino form.

然後，她打印出一步步指導如何重新制作影像和多米諾骨牌形式。

So it'll say like row 13 white for black and then you know exactly how many dominoes to actually make the image.

所以會說像13行白色換成黑色，然後你就知道到底有多少張多米諾骨牌才能真正做出這個影像。

And then I set up cameras and I knock it down lily post a new video every saturday.

然後我架好攝影機，把它敲下來，莉莉每週六都會發佈一個新的視頻。

It takes up so much of her time.

這佔用了她太多的時間。

But she's actually decided to take a break from college to focus on her career.

但她其實已經決定從大學休學，專心做自己的事業。

My Youtube channel is doing so well.

我的Youtube頻道做得很好。

I'm getting a lot of inquiries.

我收到了很多詢問。

I'm able to sustain myself and I don't really need a degree to do what I'm doing.

我能夠維持自己的生活，我真的不需要一個學位來做我正在做的事情。

If I want to go back to college in the future I can, that's always an option.

如果我將來想再上大學，我可以，這總是一個選擇。

But I already have the job that I want.

但我已經有了我想要的工作。

The best part for me is seeing something that I work so hard on work all the way through after sometimes even spending weeks planning and building it.

對我來說，最好的部分是看到我如此努力工作的東西在有時甚至花了幾個星期的時間來規劃和建立它之後一直在工作。

I finally get to see the payoff when I knock it down and when I see that last I'm gonna fall.

我終於可以看到回報了，當我把它打倒，當我看到最後的時候，我就要倒下了。

That's like the best part, like that's what I live for.

這就像最好的部分， 喜歡這就是我的生活。

Mm.

嗯。
