Roadkill | Mike Conway

An affluent husband threatens to take everything from his pugnacious wife and her goofy boyfriend. A violent farce that is kind of like a live action version of Wile E. Coyote. This is a 16mm short that I shot in 1999, starring my wife, Sheila, and friends, Sonny and Jason. There are some very cool physical effects - no CGI in this. Like my feature, TERRARIUM, this was shot with a silent Canon Scoopic camera. All audio was transferred from alternate video takes and re-arranged on a sampling keyboard, which was sequenced to fit the film images. Music was scored with a Yamaha SY99, Roland XP50, E-MU Pro/Cussion and E4K. A Roland VS-1680's COSM guitar amp was used for the signature sound, when the Iroq Camaro comes around the corner.
