Hey Everyone,

I have several requests, so I thought I would lump them into one thread. If you can help me out with getting the following items, I would really appreciate it.

- I need some empty landscape scenes set in a desert, preferably if they were filmed in Tunisia or the Sahara. If possible, one needs to be bird's eye shot of an unidentifiable vehicle moving in the distance. It would be great if these happen to be anamorphic, with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, but if they aren't, oh well.

- Has anyone ever isolated the sound of Luke's Landspeeder running? Are there any sound clips of a Landspeeder engine running from any of the video games? If so, if you can share it with me, I would appreciate it.

- Does anyone have a complete scan of the Star Wars Theatrical Program? I have it, but page 16 (Obi-Wan by the power generator) is corrupted.

Thanks in advance!

The whoosh of Luke Skywalker's landspeeder was achieved by recording the roar the Los Angeles Harbor Freeway through a vacuum-cleaner pipe.

You could try doing this and see if you get the same effect.

You could check out Lawrence for desert shots, probably best to get some stock footage and make a 3d vehicle with a particle trail. If it is only small in the frame then you wouldn't have to do a great job for it to be convincing. If you grab a hidef video or hires photo it gives you the option to do a camera move on it as well.
