The new binocular shot was first rendered with CG walkers, then transferred to video tape and then shot using a video camera filming the video being played on a small CRT TV with the tracking/ signal being messed with. The original was also recorded using a camera filming off a crt monitor.

There is something about the original that always made the walkers look like small toys, probably because this shot didn't use stop motion walkers, but mechanical ones instead. You can tell by the fluidity of the motion, which is also why the center one rocks so much, which is something the stop motion versions don't do.

The camera motion was matched to the original, which has no camera wobble and is pretty fluid. And there is a lot of motion blur used on the new version. The Walkers formation was positioned to match the next time we see the walkers coming over the ridge; center one in front, next two in alignment slightly further back and the rear two are also in alignment with each other.

The opening shot of the walkers seen in the far distance, all of the walkers are moving, whereas the original was just some static shapes. It's Vimeo's compression that has screwed around thanks to the compression artifacts. But you can see on the vimeo video ( just the revisited scene and not the comparison one) if you look closely you can see the AT-ST's moving
