Nicolai Fuglsig is up to his old trick of creating epic commercials with his latest effort for Guiness. If you ever wondered what might happen in a remote village when a game of dominoes escalates into something much more… here’s your answer. You’ll never get tired of watching this masterfully crafted ad.

Fun Facts:
Shot in an Argentinian mountainside village it took a week to film, with some of the sequences reshot up to 15 times
10,000 books were used
Fuglsig described this project as “the biggest challenge of my career to date”
Setting the dominoes on the table at the start of the commercial took a team of three experts two days, but it took just 14 seconds to topple.
