Jon,

Even though the Sweet Home Chicago video was 5 minutes long, I stopped watching after 10 seconds.  It was simply too awesome, too beautifully filmed.  I couldn't take it.  

Geez, that was realistic.  And I loved the sound as well.  Filming in black and white was smart, a nice touch.

OK, I lied.  I watched the entire video.  Bow

I just tweeked around with the different lighting tones on this next video (Norfolk Southern trains at Sweethome Alabama) to make it a bit 'crisper'

I thought I'd try out the recently-added You Tube video editing option on a couple of my old videos of Sweethome Chicago.

 

Nothing too flashy at first, other than a change of colour to make the videos look a bit more realistic for their time periods

 

First up is a 1940 film of an NYC, Alco S1 diesel, with the film/movie made to look like it's from 1940

Next up are a couple of BN GP39Es (Ex GP30 and GP35), again at Sweethome Chicago, this time with Cinemascope colouring

 

 http://youtu.be/mTRdNeowUMo

 

 

I'll try a few more effects soon
