For my parts I went with a theme of shapes, so square(s), triangles, circle, and a star
Most of this extras video is about the process/tests and attempts for the cross over fields.
Originally I was going to have multiple scenes decreasing the dominoes between the dominoes. But then I focused on getting the cross over field with the smallest spacing I could (2 dominoes between each crossing) to work instead, and then decided to have a shapes theme for my clips. The single line take was not included in the final video because it seemed out of place after.
0:00 - Square
3:00 - Shooting Star
3:28 - Triangles
4:06 - Circle

This project was about recreating the Skulls example for a Halloween-ish theme. I wanted to include more color combinations, including the White Illusion and Munker White Illusions, but was running out of time. I really wanted to include the Red/Green/Blue combo though, because the effect worked much better than the skulls.
About the bad field starting edge. I suspected it would not work because the spacing was so very close...however the first field (purple) worked fine! Then the next field had one bad line and instead of changing the edge technique in the next attempt I repeated the same method, I would have changed the spacing, but didn't want the edges to look different when put together. In the third attempt I stuck the splitting dominoes together to avoid what was going wrong the previous times after reviewing the recording and seeing what was happening with the tight spacing curves.
I also had some accidents with the text field after about 50min of each attempt...both times I was trying to fix misplaced dominoes in the pattern. I could have just repaired sections that fell, but I ended up just rebuilding each time.
The H5 domino creations templates ended up working really great with the old domino rally dominoes.

The seventh challenge was the best use of a foreign object.
I basically just made this object into dominoes, so not too creative IMO.

The sixth challenge was to setup a line of 100 dominoes.
I only made a few attempts at this, mostly getting 44 seconds, and longer trying a few other techniques.
My fastest was 38 seconds, but this is invalid entry.

The fifth challenge was to create up to a 4 clip screenlink with another builder (maximum of 500 dominoes per scene).
DaksDominos ( youtube.com/DaksDominos ) setup the 1st and 2nd scenes. I setup the 2nd and 4th scenes.
My fourth scene was based on a technique by Dannythebuilder on Twitter for climbing stairs. I made a slight modification to the flat dominoes

The fourth challenge was to create a creative new trick.
My trick is just a modification to the hexaspeedwall trick that I didn't explore when I came up with the hexaspeedwall.

ZC Toppling and Miracle Whip Dominoes have started a weekly competition called 'The Domino Wars' (2020), with a new challenge each week.
The third challenge was "the best domino setup with 300 dominoes or less". So I literally made "The Best" domino setup with 300 dominoes or less!
Extras:
0:00 Take 4
1:31 Take 1 - Did not expect this to work but wanted to try this formation.
1:54 Take 2 - Turning vertical dominoes sideways (and offset) and giving them space between the flat dominoes.
2:24 Take 3 - Less shadows on the lettering, but still hard to read the text, and not a complete fall, so I tried again with two colours instead.

The second challenge was to build a 1x1 tower as tall as you can.
I was able to get 109 levels (103.25 inches) with regular dominoes this time. I've previously hit 123 levels in the past, so was looking forward to trying this a few times with some different strategies to see if I could come even close to that again.
I also wanted to see how high I could get with Kinetic dominoes, they are the same standard size building dominoes but are lighter in weight because they are not solid...

The 13 demolishers/curved wall scene was my first attempt. After that I spent many hours trying to get 10 in a row to work. It worked, but the continuing line failed...what I ended up didn't look as nice as my first attempt so I used it instead.
SECRET EDIT: The continuing line in the attempt I used is edited to cover up the blue dominos along the top knocking down the continuing line.
I setup the hexaspeedwall pyramids twice. The first time they were spaced closer and I had an accident while connecting them together, and only recorded what was left as a test.
If you missed it, watch it here:

Did you like my first pattern better than the main video's?
Mostly unedited footage from most of the different angles, showing the 3 problem areas, and then some close accidents.
I couldn't believe I missed the wagon's leg as a potential problem after watching the footage, eek!
I had another angle that has the gnome without light glare when it falls, but it was closer and cropped out the green lines, so I only used the angle that had light glare.
I also edited the timing the flowers fell after the one with the bee so I could show the bee up close, and more of the red flower while it falls.

While I still had the parts from the speed scene setup I thought I would record a comparison between Lampings and Bulks.
This is similar to a clip from DominoERDMANN's comparison video but a bit longer:
youtu.be/OELqUCFr88A?t=106
This was the first attempt/test of this setup...minis held together pretty good.
I think after it didn't work I wanted to see how much vibration it could take...then was trying to see how much swinging it could take...
I think part of the web would have failed if the leg didn't cut it off early anyways, as I had the timing wrong just past that part.

Fake #1
I built this multiple times.
I was going to build a smaller version and put this in the outtakes, but noticed 1 camera angle hid the breaks quite well (just falls out of order).
I removed the white wall in the rebuilds, because the spacing was difficult to get right.
Hitting the pyramid with the stick was an accident I think.
Fake #2
I was expecting this to happen, I only had to rebuild the part that already fell after attempt 1 failed.
I was going to rebuild this, but thought I would try to edit it, and thought it hid the fail well.
Fake #3
This was really difficult to setup, I rebuilt a second version because I wanted more of a swirl to the pattern (that was the idea behind it).
Build 2 failed miserably, and this one looked fine after editing it.
Fake #4
The top layer was supposed to fall off (and did in several tests), spreading out while changing color. That didn't happen.
I left this in the main video because after editing 2 of the 3 fallback lines, it looked okay still.

I expected this to not fall completely, but hoped that it would have worked better.
I wanted the walls to completely fall down around it first, leaving the roof standing, or perhaps the one corner being removed would bump the roof enough to make it fall. However, the weight of the roof bent the ends of the board that was resting on 4 higher corners (and center) enough to put weight on and hold the two end walls in place.
I did not want to have the yard covered in triggers, so I only added the one block and planned to just poke it as needed.
The tree worked when I built it separately first...I'm not sure why it didn't work this time! Grrrr
The roof was separate pyramids (the edges looked MUCH better this way), I'm surprised it fell with only one break using this technique. I built two roofs, but the first roof fell down completely. I also built another version of the walls, which fell down when I was adjusting the board to hold the roof.
I didn't record any setup for this project, so have no outtakes to show.

Starts with my many tests and fails for a a field splitter. Then the live setup view, followed by the different angles of recording the fall.
