I randomly found this (LINK YouTube video and knew exactly where he was starting because it was only a couple miles from where I grew up and where he was ending his drive because I live only a couple miles from there now. I got that weird itch telling me I had to re-create the video as faithfully as I possibly could (I even said "Wrong way!" like he does at :35 seconds) so on a weekend, I piled the kids and my dad into the car and off we went!

Because he shot the original video on a Friday evening in 1988 and I was driving the route on a Sunday afternoon, it's not a direct 1:1 recreation so I decided to get a little creative:
• I kept and used the original audio as opposed to try to recreate it
• I marked up certain landmarks on the original video in order to sync my drive with his
• I tried to color correct my HDR footage as best I could to match his SDR video (my iPhone shot in HDR vs his original VHS)
• I did my best to recreate his focal length and angle but only had limited resources. I figured lining up the landmarks did just as good a job
• I kept his original frame height, scaled my 4K footage down, and doubled his original frame width to split the screen evenly

That was really kinda cool. I did skip some of it but what amazed me is how little it had changed in 34 years outside of the cars. I found it interesting to look at the cars on the street in '88 while he was waiting to make the final turn onto the residential street a Rolls Royce past him going the opposite direction.

I remember driving the 405 about 12 years ago. First time I’ve driven about 85 plus mph in bumper to bumper traffic.
It was wild.

Same here in early 90’s on the 101 from Oxnard to Melrose Ave. 4 lanes (at least), b to b at 85 plus for about 45 mins.
People there know how to drive in that shite, so we never came close to an accident.

I took the 405
And it led me to an alcoholic summer

Caught a vibe (woo, woo)
Baby, are you coming for the ride? (The ride, the ride, the ride)
I just wanna look into your eyes (your eyes, your eyes)
I just wanna stay for the night, night, night
When we take a drive (woo, woo)
Maybe we can hit the 405
Hypnotized by the lights
Man, this must be the life
