One of my favourite videos on the internet, remade in higher quality using the audio from the original Niconico upload and 1080p widescreen visuals recreated from scratch.
My idea for this remake was originally going to be a far more ambitious project with the audio being put together from scratch as well as the visuals, but I realised how difficult it would be to make each sound accurately enough and decided to scrap this idea when I did some research on the video I was trying to recreate. What I thought was the original video for years was uploaded on August 21, 2009 by "atomicpuppy" (the intention being to put out this remake on the 14th anniversary of that date), but upon further digging I found that the video was also uploaded to the Japanese video sharing site Niconico on July 1, 2008, by a user whose name translates to "direct hit to the brain". This earlier version is likely the real original video with a much higher audio quality, which serves as a compromise to the insurmountable task of painstakingly recreating every sound correctly.
The visuals also suffer one drawback with being in a widescreen format, in that some of the film's original 4:3 footage is cropped and out of frame. The version of the film I used was formatted this way without adjustments regardless. I also deliberately omitted the first eight seconds that appears in the original video, because I felt it was unnecessary and the reposted version on YouTube did right to cut it out.
