Title: Restoration Videos
Post by: Lady Frostbite on November 06, 2019, 05:01:28 AM
I like to watch restoration videos as a calming thing for anxiety, and because I really like cleaning and restoring things to something approaching their former glory.

The Skyrocket video is my favourite, but also like the Retroblasting Skippity-Doo. Are there other videos that are interesting to watch?

I can't think of good pony ones, but the Rescue and Restore vids were very relaxing when I was sick last month.
I've tried to make a pony one but my lighting is poor and it doesn't come out well.

The videos are pretty much taking beat-up old ponies and restoring them, specifically restoring and not customising (unless we count deflocking as customisation)

Here's Retroblasting's video with Skippity-Doo Part 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83-eT6EGIjk), Part 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7APFeaVTNmQ) and Part 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJmks5QNLCg).

My favourite is the Ponycustoms G1 Skyrocket (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_-ggE62vSQ) restoration, just for the gentle music, information about the pony, and the sight of the pony getting a good scrub. Although the idea of warming water in a microwave REALLY weirded me out, especially in a teapot

I wish more videos existed. I'd make my own but I'm not the best at making videos  :lol:

I found this video a couple of weeks ago. Hope that helps. It has no background music, so I've played the music of my choice over it. Felt nice. ^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zKJrAGCtlM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zKJrAGCtlM)

Mmm, gotta love pony videos :) This (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kesfokvs7C8) one is nice.

It's not restoration, but I found one of someone touring their (complete!) US G1 collection here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Teg6omNAYw). The whole channel has some pretty good G1 content :)

I have restoration videos!
I've gotten into it because I felt that youtube needed more such G1 related content, since most of it seems g4. None of the videos I have ever have sounds or music, but maybe it could be relaxing if you had another window doing music. (I never add it because of all that fake copyright garbage they're known to do) Everything is subtitles.

(Rose Noir finds it!) You can ignore the 'secret word' bit in there / it was for a tumblr contest where I gave away the pony.

I want to add more videos in the future like removing tail rust or other things that people can think of that they want to do or fix about a pony.
