This video will be under the Louie Interview (SPC Allah) in the Assassins (Alpha Company) videos of our yearbook in Iraq. This video was made shortly after redeployment.

I just got bored one day and created this little video, based on Star Tours, a Disneyland/Disney World attraction based off of the Star Wars Trilogy series. It was fun and I hope you like it.

Oh by the way, the audio mix is my own, but the sound effects themselves are from Disney, Lucasfilm, and Telarc Records.

My call sign in Iraq was Louie. My real name is SPC Antonio Allah (Edward).

1/501st Attack Aviation Regiment (under 1st Armored Division), an Apache AH-64A Attack Helicopter Battalion, deployed to Iraq from April 2003 through August 2004.

Well, how can I put this? This video was created when I was making the DragonsDVD.com. One day I got bored of it and started messing around with my digital camera. I turned the video feature on and started flying it like a spaceship around my desk. I then added the video to my Sony Vegas editor and added sound effects and music from several sources:

- Disney's "Indian Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye" (an attraction at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California)

- Disney's "Star Tours" (a Star Wars attraction at most Disney theme parks)

- 20th Century FOX and Lucasfilm "Star Wars IV" (on DVD now)

- THX Cameron trailer (the old THX trailer introducing the THX sound system set-up at some theatres)

- 2001 "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (op. 30 is a symphonic poem by Richard Strauss, composed in 1896 and inspired by the book of the same title by Friedrich Nietzsche - from Wikipedia)

Basically, the whole idea was to somehow simulate, not exactly, the ride Star Tours at the Disney theme parks. Using sound effects from the movie Star Wars and Star Trek, the sounds was over emphasized in this track. As far as the video, there are NO video effects at all. So no laser beams of any type.

If you like this video, cool. If you are a hardcore Star Wars fan, you may not like it. If you are a hardcore Disney Parks fan, then you may not like it. Either way, I had fun doing it and I am proud to share it.
