MSL Video Options

[Jim from NSF.com]

Saw the MSL video, which was similar to the MER video. It was awesome. Will try to get a copy

I do see a dust devil at one point; at least that's what I think it is? Nice touch.

No, you don't. The odd gust of dust to keep it from being all too static - but not a DD.

Is a certain direction and distance from Curiosity expected of the landed descent stage, besides "far away" ?

From http://trs-new.jpl.nasa.gov/dspace/handle/2014/41629 - Page 12 specifically

CODE

Once the flyaway controller on the DS assumes control, it
first holds the current altitude for 187 msec to allow
sufficient time for the umbilical to be cut.  After the
requisite hold time, the MLEs throttle up and the DS
ascends vertically for a predetermined amount of time.  
Then, the DS begins to execute a turn to approximately 45
pitch.  The DS holds this attitude with the MLEs at 100%
until the fuel depletes.  The hold, ascent, and turn take place
within 2 seconds, and the remaining time is variable
depending on the amount of fuel remaining.  The DS will
then ballistically fall to the surface at a distance of at least
150 m from the Rover

I would expect it to be significantly further than that. Perhaps 10x.
