A 2020 replica/remake of one of my favorite childhood Microsoft Train Simulator videos made by LT19C1SS featuring a modified Acela consist running on the megacoaster route, which has now since been deleted off from RU-vid.
(Viewers who grew up watching MSTS crash compilation videos will know which video it was~)
Till this day, LT19C1SS's Megacoaster video is still one of my favorite montages, with it's choice of music, the scene cuts and as well as the warm, old, but familiar megacoaster route that I used to enjoy coasting around back then.
Fortunately, while cleaning my room one day, I found a VCD copy of it that I made back in around 2007 (If I recall correctly) when I was a kid who had just discovered the power of creating their own physical media, and decided to re-watch everything on that disc for nostalgia sake, and came across this video video as part of it's playlist. Unfortunately, because this video was written to and compressed to fit on a VCD Disc, the footage is barely watchable by today's standards.
So out of my free time during the lock-down, I decided to re-create the entire video, scene by scene with what little pixel remains from that VCD Extract, and also bringing it up to modern standards of 1080p 60FPS, corrected the end credits details, and as well as other quality of life changes such as timing the scenes so that the clips matches as much as possible to the apex of the music.
While not exactly a 1:1 as LT19C1SS used a custom consist for their video, and also the train spotter cam positions being RNG based, I'm actually pretty satisfied with what I could replicate out of an old super-compressed, low res footage.
