In the pilot episode of a new web series titled "Immersion," the comedic machinimists of Rooster Teeth attempted to bring a popular action game phenomenon into the real world: What if you could really drive a car from a third-person perspective? Using a pole, some dumbbells, an expensive camera and some vision-impairing black sheets, the troupe was able to have an entertaining, albeit entirely irresponsible out-of-car driving experience. Check out the NSFW video after the jump to see their automotive shenanigans in action.

I can't even drive fake cars well in third person mode; I'd be horrible at doing so in real life.

This seems to be on a tight low angle to the car. Possibly the worst way to drive in a 3rd person driving game.
Being said, the angle I'd prefer would probably have required a 60' boom 40' in the air.

I was going to make the same point winterfang, also the camera should be rotateable, but I can understand that it would be hard to do.

I gotta hear the Rooster Teeth Drunk Tank to see what they say about this video. Podcasts rule!

Strangely enough, I always found it harder whenever using 1st person controls for driving.
