The clue that tells Ben how to get to the desert was originally a simple map with the text "Infinite Motion" on it. The idea was that there was a small place named "Infinite Motion" in Nevada. Here's my latest approach for this sequence. This idea, still in its very rough stages, comes from the phrase: non-stop action! It made sense to me that this phrase might be a found on movie advertising. It's also logical that Ben's print shop might be producing one or two-color lobby cards for a production company.
The idea is that Ben will piece together the desert map from the stars and some of the photos. This is a low-budget film so maybe the production company has joshua trees standing in for alien plants. This also gives us some text to flash on the screen. You have to imagine Ben thinking as he grinds away at the printing press and then the text "Do you dare make the voyage?" or "Non-stop action!" burns in from white. Well, I'll see how far I get with this approach. Still not happy with the headline type but that's what you get for free. The photos are from the public domain film The Phantom Planet.
