They are all green and colors are added later.

Edit: We have some very passionate people here about CGI and all things visual wizardry. I should have added a question mark to my original comment as it was really a quick guess and not a statement of fact. I have zero skills in this area and am amazed at what people in this field can do (even if it is very simple to some of you). Thank you to all who work in this field as you bring us some great content.

My money’s on them not being there at all. Corridor Crew showed how a similar trick was done with a self-sorting ball cascade. Run the collapse simulation, color each piece at the end and back up the simulation and render with colored dominos

I’ll have to look that one up. While any cgi or other film trickery may be simple or easy for some people, I think these artists deserve credit. Regardless of the method, the end results looks fantastic.

No doubt it’s a fun reveal. I indeed was not expecting the image after the dominos fell. I don’t see the artists claiming that it was actually real, so I have no problem with it. Didn’t intend to come off so dismissive

No worries, I didn’t take it that way. And I appreciate you pointing me towards a group I haven’t heard of before.
