Production: Initial discussions with the Director, Ariel Vromen, centred on how we integrated the use of CCTV with main unit filming. A number of areas across the script were identified where surveillance would help make the [search] scenes at the CIA Command set more visually expansive. Various CCTV sequences were filmed across many London locations, including the tracking of CIA operative Bill Pope [Ryan Reynolds] as he attempts to avoid capture. Screen designs for the CIA set monitors featured a combination of CCTV and UI graphics, developed from colour schemes by the Production Designer, Jon Henson. In post, I worked closely with both the Director and Editor, Danny Rafic to develop and design a variety of visual concepts in an ongoing process until picture lock. Along with a number of onscreen visuals and chapter idents, the final aspect of the UI monitor graphics for the CIA command was established with many scenes adding to the overall story.
