[edit] Inside CTU
Director Jon Cassar introduces the video diary, and thanks the audience for buying the set. He says that they now have access to exclusive behind-the-scenes conent. He says that there will be interviews and exclusive footage not seen anywhere else before. Cassar says that he will start the first installment with a Director's tour of CTU Los Angeles. He explains that despite Chloe O'Brian's desk being in the middle of the bullpen, they keep her conversations in a private manner by using close shots of her face. Cassar says that the bullpen is where all the activity of CTU takes place, and it is designed in a way so that cameras can be placed at any point, anywhere within it.
Cassar then moves on to look at the "deep, dark basement of CTU", which is in fact just placed next to bullpen: it is just always shot so it looks to be in a different place. He says that because people are always walking down hallways, the set design needs to have plenty. However, he reveals that there in fact are only two, which actors just walk up and down along. He then moves to the medical room, and explains that in Season 6, it will be used as a morgue.
[edit] Stunts and Special Effects
Stan and Scott Blackwell talk about how explosions are carried out, and are assisted by Jeff Cadiente, who mentions how the stunts are approrpiately added to create a realistic effect. In particular they talk about the scene during Season 4 when the rocket flies past Jack Bauer: the Blackwell brothers naming it as the only scene in which Kiefer Sutherland was genuinly scared due to how close it went past him.
The film ends with Cadiente talking about how much the great work of the stuntmen assisits the show, making it seem more realistic than it ever would have done before.
