Argo tech scout changing to August 4th
(b)(6)
Hi (b)(3)
I know there are still some unanswered questions regarding the filming of Argo at the CIA Headquarters, but (b)(6)
would it be alright if we go ahead and schedule our tech scout while still pursuing those issues?
Could we tech scout on August 4th from approx. 2pm to approximately 3:30pm?
There will be approximately of us.(b)(3)
We will supply every person's full name and SS#, as well as the info on the bus,
as soon as possible
During the tech scout, our Director, Director of Photography and Dept. Heads will talk through each scene and
decide how to film them. (Perhaps this will help answer some of the filming questions.) The discussions will
cover the types of equipment we will need to bring onto the set and how we do that. It would be very beneficial
to have a building electrician accompany us.
At this time, we would like to view the exterior front of the main building and the Bubble, the entrance lobby
and the corridor immediately adjacent to the lobby. We may need to view the exterior of this corridor as well
for lighting purposes. (We are going to try to use as few lights as possible and the amount will be determined on
this scout.)
One thing we will need to look at is the room in which our extras will sit and wait in and a room to feed our
crew and extras in. The extra's holding room should seat approx. We usually cater our crew lunches so (b)(3)
we would also need a lunch room that would seat approx. which would cover the entire crew and extras. It (b)(3)
can be the same room if you like.
As a heads up, but certainly not etched in stone, we are still working with the same tentative date for filming of
Saturday, November 19th. We would like to also include that this date could change to Sunday November 20th
if the filming prior to that gets delayed. We would confirm the exact date of filming approximately 2 weeks
before filming.
