kimj:
who took the picture and where.
2old4tech:
I posted this stuff back on 11-28. Tying Caper's film permit (Close the 2nd St tunnel)(get permit under a different name than WRP, to throw off RFF) with the sightings near the Downtown hotels and the "asked for a ride", but never posted my spec tying it together.

...and if you exit the tunnel at Hill, turn left and go one block to the Civic Center Station (Metro).
Once at Civic Center Staton take either of the two lines (Red or Purple) one stop to Union Station. Once there it's...

Now there’s a fast, affordable
connection between Downtown
LA and LAX that’s easy to reach
from Metro Rail, Metro Bus,
Metrolink and Amtrak. Try the
new Union Station FlyAway.
FlyAway buses run 24 hours a day (every
30 minutes from 5 am to 1 am, and each
hour from 1 am to 5 am). The buses leave
from Bay 9 of the Patsaouras Transit Plaza
adjacent to Union Station via the East Portal.
> Tickets are $3 one-way ($2 each way for
children 2-12). Purchase tickets before you
board at the FlyAway kiosk in the Patsaouras
Transit Plaza. Note: Metro Passes are not
valid on this service.
Press release when the service started estimated 45 minute trip non-stop to LAX. I don't live there, so don't know if this is accurate or even if this a good time for a Saturday late AM trip. But it would mean no expensive rental cars and no driving.

Turn left on Figuero Street as soon as you exit the 2nd Street Tunnel. Hotel is about a block and a half.

I think they started in the closed tunnel (away from Chateau's prying eyes and were told to make their way to Chile (so LAX). We have the photo from union station that implies at least one team took public transportation. I think they are headed for the Flyaway.
This is pretty speculative I know, but I'm going with it until better evidence comes along. Puddin, please fell free to move this the spec thread if that's best.
2old4tech:
and here's a map, provided I did the attachment right (see screen name :lol:)

The same person that took the Union Station shot. The where is unimportant, it's an attempt to pin down the time of the Union Station shot. Unfortunately, unless she reset the camera-clock (tourists rarely do), I can only add to the confusion.

Radical is a well-established SM firm that does mostly commercials. WRP might list the permit under a false name (they've done it in the past), but I doubt they would use the Radical name.

The 7th street station, where the blue and red lines meet, is nearby. A team with local savvy might head there on foot to save some time.
Chateau d If:
This shot was taken between 10:14 and 10:24 am (assumes November 28th).
