'Invisible Harleys: A Mario Kart Parody' short film
11
Ever zoned out playing Mario Kart, only to find yourself driving down an interstate some time later, eager to bypass your fellow motorists with the aid of a few well placed turtle shells? Yeah, us neither, but we can totally imagine it and we imagine a similar sentiment contributed to the creation of Invisible Harleys: A Mario Kart Parody by UCSB students Michael Figge and Jess Rigel, part of a short film contest sponsored by Harley Davidson. Keep a close eye peeled for non-canonical weapons like the Giant Magnet™ and Super Hammer™ ... what, Chomps not good enough?

So let me guess, they painted their Harleys green, rode them around, and then greenscreened them out! Hoohah!
And what was up with that ending?

I don't remember a girl in a bikini at the end of Mario Kart races...
And that dude chose the dumpy nerd over bikini girl because she gave him a sad face? Travesty!

Apparently no green screen was used, the actors were sitting on chairs that were digitally erased during editing frame by frame

Cute, but overlong. I wish more shorts would just get in and get out. Still, it's nice to see the spirit of Norman McLaren is alive and well (YouTube him if you don't know the name.)

Sorry, not at all funny or entertaining. Did a joystiq member know the creator or something?
