Currently exhibited on VRAL, Regression is an ongoing series by Dutch filmmaker Jordy Veenstra’s about the places, spaces, and means of transportation featured in Grand Theft Auto V’s fictional state of San Andreas. While working on the second installment in 2019, Veenstra created “a visual experiment “ titled Train Ride to test the different mods and camera angles he was going to use. The result is a relatively long video - clocking at 26 minutes and 10 seconds - with terrific vistas and a relaxed tempo. Veenstra describes the therapeutic effects of the video he made:
I would watch it every so often after a stressful day because of its ambience and peaceful atmosphere. It gave off a different atmosphere compared to the faster-edited Regression 2.
Train Ride was released alongside Regression 2.
As Veenstra writes,
The original footage of this film was shot without the use of Extended Video Export due to it originally being an experiment. I initially did not plan to release this film. Therefore, the quality of the film is less pristine than what I normally use and upload.
On the contrary, the viewing experience is truly remarkable.
