    No movie footage exists of a landing, but if you go to JPL's Website, you'll find thousands of cool photographs from VIKING, SOJOURNER, and many other Martian missions.

    You could create the landing using 3D animation.

    Well, I can´t. I´m not patient enough to learn all the tricks of a program

    If you are not patient enough to learn a program how are you going to finish a fan film? I've been in pre-production for almost a year! I'm learning patience. Wasn't something I had before, now I have much more.

    Instead of learning a program perhaps you could go the Sci-Fi 3D Forum and request someone who already knows 3D to do it for you?

    No- that was real. The moon landing was faked.

    My aunt works at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena CA. She was assigned to the Mars Rover projects that recently launched. She showed me a video with a very nicely done 3D simulation of the launch, transit, and landing on Mars (a very complex process, btw).

    Here's the the Mars Rover Page

    And here's a page with some QT downloads

    I snuck around a bit and found this higher rez MPEG version of the landing animation (4.5MB).

    Here's a page where you can order videos from JPL

    You may also want to check out the film "Red Planet" which depicts a landing similar in technique to the recent rover landings.


    Ripley, remember that Google is your friend.
