Power Cousin Video: And the Winner is... Roadkill

I got a great idea for a concept for Roadkill, so that's the song I'm going to tackle. Instead of trying to make the video about people, I'm going to instead go with a story about a desert creature and his infatuation with a shiny hub cap that he has to cross a busy two-lane highway to reach. Since it will be shot through the eyes of the creature, it's left up to the imagination of the viewer as to who he really is. It also frees me up to shoot it on my own (no cast required other than a shiny hub cap ;).

I've already got the basic storyboard down. It needs fleshing out as it doesn't quite have enough frames for all the lyrics (sent to me courtesy of Mike). Also, I'm looking to shoot it in black & white using widescreen format. Should look really nice for the desert backdrop. Now I just have to scope out a good location for the desert (California's got real ones, but they're too far away for this weekend warrior ;). Let's see what I can find closer to the Bay Area.
