As for the Dreamworks park-buster, which is on its mark to make tracks down by Stadium Way this weekend, here's some info:
Good afternoon Elysian Park residents, The following is an updated letter that will be circulated in the area starting today. This is an accurate description of the work that we are doing. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 310-405-5895. Thank you.
Hmm. There aren't many residents of Elysian Park. There are homeless folks and Barlow hospital patients, who deserve to be informed even more than the rest of us. But I assume this info is intended for Echo Park people, too, even if they aren't addressed. Or maybe he's talking to the raccoons.
Dear Resident,THIS IS A REVISED INFORMATION LETTER FOR THE DREAMWORKS FEATURE "EAGLE EYE".
We are in the process of obtaining a film permit through Film LA for some work in your area on Friday December 7th and Saturday December 8th. We will be filming on Stadium Way at Academy Dr. The scene involves cars driving in both directions on Stadium Way.
There will be a collision with a pyrotechnic impact charge that accompanies the collision. The pyro will be done on Friday December 7th, up to three times until midnight. There will be two aerial shots from a helicopter on Saturday, December 8th between the hours of 4pm-11pm (pending city approval. If not then 10pm). We will be using Dodger Stadium for the helicopter landing zone and equipment and crew parking. We will have all necessary safety personnel with us for this work. The hours of our filming we are requesting are as follows:
Friday 12/7-Prep with a lane closure on Academy Dr. from Dodger Stadium to Stadium Way from 7am-5pm.
Filming hours 5pm-6am. We are asking for a full closure of Stadium Way between Scott Rd., Angels Crest Rd. and Academy Rd, from the Golden Gate entrance at Dodger Stadium to Morton Rd. We will allow local residents to access homes when we are not rolling camera. We have submitted a plan to DOT for this closure. It appears as if the closure will be from 8pm to 6am.
Saturday 12/8-We are asking for a lane closure of 3 lanes from noon to 6pm and a full closure of the same area as Friday, from 6pm until 6am the next morning. This will be for preparation for the dusk shot at 4pm and the helicopter. For the helicopter shot we will be utilizing Intermittent Traffic Control (ITC) for safety. Filming will last until 6am. I have been in contact with LA City Parks, LAPD, LAFD and DOT regarding this work. I am aware of the inherent concerns regarding noise and impact to the area surrounding the road closure. We have worked out a scenario that I am hopeful that the community can support, and in turn continue to support filming in Southern California.
Thank you for your support. Please call me with questions and concerns.
Regards, Caleb Duffy Location Manager
