I think it's those views looking upwards that make us feel like we're there. I haven't been in the Redwoods since the seventies. Like most in those days, we have a picture of our car barely fitting inside the trunk of a Redwood (but we didn't drive the trailer through), and another with our hands splayed but not able to touch both sides of the Redwood "opening". I was a teenager, but it still seems like not that long ago....
Loved your comment on it not seeming that long ago. I had a conversation with my mother the other day about how no matter what age my body says I am, my mind still feels as if I'm twenty-something (sometimes younger). And I think you nailed it as to why this video makes us feel like we're there. Makes perfect sense.
