Recent Work – Four Hundred

Four Hundred from Will Roegge on Vimeo.

This digital short film was commissioned by Speedhunters (Electronic Arts) and Royal Purple. During Bonneville Speed Week 2009, I followed the Nish Motorsports team through their week on the salt flats. Their goal is to break the Summer brother’s record and propel the naturally aspirated V8 Streamliner to 425+ MPH. Four Hundred, was selected as the title because it was the goal of the team to get the car up to four hundred miles per hour during Speed Week. This being in preparation for the FIA event where the car would have a longer stretch to reach maximum speed.

Produced by Speedhunters – Rod Chong, Creative Director
