Recreating LEGO Racers’ Removed Shortcuts - 26 Years Later

Описание: This was a massive project, but I'm glad it's finally here. The removed shortcuts from Knightmare-Athon!

This is a topic I've always wanted to make a video about. There are quite a lot of videos already out there about the remnants of the shortcut. But, as far as I know, no ones has tried to recreate them. So that was a challenge I wanted to do. Also I've received a few comments of people asking if I could show the behind the scenes process of a video more. So I hope this helps.

This is the first time I've made something that slightly resembles a documentary. From talking about the game itself, to discovering the remnants of the shortcut and even fully rebuilding the shortcut. Was quite a fun production. But very tricky to do. I started with writing a voice-over script. before I started working on the actual shortcuts. And, of course, it never goes as planned so I had to do a few retakes here and there. I originally wanted to a lot more sped up screen recordings of me working on the shortcut. But it turns out the production wasn't as straight forward as possible. So I ditched the idea of screen recordings and replaced them with stills. I think that's another great way to convey a story.

I hope this video comes close to how you may have imagined the shortcuts. The first one especially is very open to interpretation. But it's fun to have a go at reimagining it. Ohh... and if a developer from LEGO Racers watches this, please post a comment to let us know if it comes close to the original. Would love to hear from you!
