User:Acer4666/Day 1 Locations

Day 1
This is a list of locations, how they fit in with the 24verse, and where they were shot. I live in England so if any Angelenos can help out by identifying places please do - I've put down questions I have under the relevant topics.

=Kuala Lumpur=

The establishing shot is stock footage of the Petronas Towers. The rest I believe was filmed on a backlot in Canoga Park, LA, with some vaguely eastern looking extras.

=LA establishing shots=

Most of these establishing shots I'm sure are stock footage, and are just LA in general

=Richard Walsh's Party=

This is all inside, but wherever this party is, it takes Walsh just over 10 minutes to excuse himself and get to CTU.

=Palmer's Hotel=

Tricky one, will come back to this. There is a distinctive building in the background to the balcony scene, which may be recognisable to some people?

=Bauer Household=

A tough one, unless anyone recognises the purple-lit building at the end of the road Jack drives down when leaving? It takes him less than five minutes to reach CTU from his house in ep1.

=Street Janet drives down=

This blue lit clock is quite distinctive, I don't know how common these are in LA? In the 24verse this street is between Bauer House and Paladio Furniture.

=Red Light with Palmer Bus=

We can see a sign for Folger's Coffee, with '13 OS SI 79' written beneath. Don't know if there are any coffee shops in Van Nuys this relates to?

=CTU=

The great debate: Where in LA is CTU? The pilot was filmed in a Fox Office building, so the exterior shot of it with the satellite dishes is found at 1999 South Bundy Drive (near Barrington Avenue, as Peter Levy says in the audio commentary). The interior shots for the rest of the series are in a studio. In ep6 Jack says to Teri 'I'm still on the west side' seconds before pulling upto CTU - where is classed as the 'west side' in LA?

=Paladio Furniture=

The shot where we see Janet driving in and Teri driving in is somewhere other than Paladio furniture - it doesn't match the location. We see a number '11916' next to where they turn in, and the words 'Alignment' and 'air conditioning' written on the side of the building.

The moment they get closer to Paladio Furniture we are at the real store, located at 6732 Van Nuys Boulevard. This is 'in the valley' as Teri says. It seems to be used for exterior and interior shots, given the shot of Teri walking into it and the camera following her. It seems to take 5-6 minutes for Kim to get from her house to the store.

=Flight 221=

This is flying over the Mojave desert. Interior of plane definitely shot on studio.

=Alan York's House=

This was actually filmed in the same house as the Bauer House. It takes Kevin Carrol less 7 minutes to drive there and pick Teri up.

=Street where Teri and Kevin drive=

Teri tells Kevin to 'turn right at the lights'

=Crossroads where Dan's van passes Kevin and Teri=

This is definitely the corner of Van Nuys Boulevarde and Sherman Way. You can tell by the Boston Market building and the Denny's sign in the background. However Dan is travelling East, and passes Teri who is coming from the South, however Paladio Furniture is to the South. The street Kim indicates for Dan to turn down for her house is Van Nuys Boulevarde (even though he passes it twice due to continuity error). Kevin and Teri drive West on Sherman Way, away from Paladio Furniture.

=Crash site=

Somewhere in the Mojave Desert. Probably filmed closer to LA.

=Van driving down street=

We can see the number '10333' on a white building, as well as some bunting.

=2350 Dunlop Plaza=

Does anyone recognise that skyscraper? The interior is a studio probably. From the roof we see a night skyline, one building has a blue neon top, ring any bells? There is quite a distinctive building behind jack as he shoots at the sniper.

=Street that Dan's van veers around on=

Unknown - anyone recognise anything?

=Gaines' House=

No clues to where this is, or where it was filmed.

=Freeway=

The freeway Jack turns onto from Dunlop Plaza, recognise any buildings?

=Parking Lot=

Where Dan and Rick park to make Kim phone Teri.
