you could use one of the many video-to-ascii command line tools to render out a video you made first. then you can overlay that into your actual video. It doesnt look like thats what they did but i think it could look even better than this if executed right

This was a fun little hack I wrote in NodeJS. I used the video-to-ascii project to output the Rickroll MP4 as a series of ASCII characters (it actually outputs a nice bash script). Then I wrote a small TCP server (for telnet) in NodeJS to simply pipe the output of the video bash script right to your telnet client! To add SSH support, I used the Node ssh2 library to create a simple SSH Server that is just piped to the telnet server (basically a proxy).

Have you considered using ffmpeg-normalize? I use it regularly to normalize the loudness of both mp4's and mp3's and I find it very easy to use.

You can manually adjust using ffmpeg. measure volume with ebur128 filter then change it with volume filter. There is script for it https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize but manual work is easy to do.

Have you got any scripts to share? I came across this project a couple months ago: https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize

To normalize the audio levels so that they don't get too loud or too soft. Though I wouldn't use it if you have less than 64 kbit/second/track.

Normalize Volume

I'm trying to setup [ffmpeg-normalize](https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize), and I'm actually having problems specifically with properly mastered media with quite and loud bits. loudnorm doesn't accept an lra of over 20, but some tracks have got a higher lra than that - Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is an excellent example of that, the first track fades in from silence and is supposed to be a seamless transition into the second track. But with an lra of over 20, it goes into dynamic mode, and there is then a noticable step in loudness when the track changes.
