Ghost Ride The Whip.

“This act involves the driver and/or passengers of any given vehicle exiting while it is still rolling and dancing beside it or on the hood or roof.”
-wikipedia

Perhaps this is more commonly done on the West Coast. I had never heard of it until recently. Ghost Riding’s presence and popularity on YouTube is probably going to catalyze some East Coast fatalities.

I kept wanting to put this movie file into some project or something, but it’s just too good by itself… I love the boring blue void, and the 3d white guy model getting liquidly “texture mapped” into a black guy. The whole thing is just so goofy.

The Plot

Julie and her colleague want to use a character from an old company TV commercial for their current car project. Using the “magic wand” imagetool they grab the character’s image out of the archived video.

Just finished reading Calvin Tomkins’ bio of Robert Rauschenberg, Off the Wall. Rauschenberg is a god of mine. A complete artistic wild man–a force of nature. He channeled chaos and the irrational and somehow processed it into very beautiful art. In the above performance, Pelican, he made these circular sail things for his and the other male performer’s back, and the two rolled around on roller skates with a famous ballet dancer of the time. At one point the two men lifted her off the floor and carried her around while they were skating. It all seems very elegant in this black and white photo but if you think about it, it’s just nuts. He had this uncanny sense of “fuck it, let’s try it” and more often than not made it work.

I forget where this picture came from–some Rauschenberg site.
