Yep. I was part of a Harlem Shake video. I even danced in it.
But that aside, this was some behind the scenes footage I got from the shoot. My footage of a beautiful Mazda RX-7 in the docks of San Pedro, CA edited to Common's "Sweet".
Enjoy!
As part of my role of Multimedia Specialist at Falken Tires, I was in charge of directing the first full-length real-time on board camera video of an Unlimited Class car competing in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Monster Tajima is a name synonymous with Pikes Peak and was chasing the ever so elusive ten-minute record for Pikes Peak.
With a partnership from GoPro Camera, we covered as many angles as possible on Tajima's insane Suzuki and let the world really see what it was like to race up America's Mountain.
This video quickly became viral, and has reached millions of views on Youtube. The most popular Pikes Peak video since "Climb Dance"
