Default "Wolfenstien: The New Order" reveal trailer in Hercules Graphics (WIP)

I'm currently working on converting the reveal trailer for Wolfenstien: The New Order into Hercules Graphics. Having done some previous tests on still images, and having gotten some favorable results, I decided to go full-on and convert an entire video. The quality, in spite of it being only two colors (black and, in this case, green), could be improved in places, but overall, the conversion has gone surprisingly well.

The process is actually quite simple: take an individual frame from the trailer, scale it down to the size of a Hercules Graphics image (720x348), then convert the image to MDA, with white being swapped out for one of the Hercules colors (in this case, amber). Repeat 2,401 times (in this case, anyways), and you're done!

You can download the current version of the video here (in authentic 720x348): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...culesAmber.mp4

I'm also experimenting with the audio to make it sound more like it's actually coming from a PC Speaker, rather than a 16-bit sound card as it's been described in feedback. As such, here's a REALLY low-fidelity sound version of the above video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/..._PCSpeaker.mp4

Also, here are some stills from the video for those who are interested:

EDIT: Updated links as well as my process description - thanks for the tips, Tracker!
