Hello everyone. We'll be working in two locations tomorrow. Some of you will be working at both locations. Please read and follow all directions that apply to the characters you have been told you will play.
We are in Summer in our story. We would prefer that your color choices are more muted and soft like the colors of Spring. Nothing too bright or primary when it comes to color. Texture and pattern are good just nothing too bold or busy.
VP AIDE, DC POLITICIANS, ON AIR REPORTERS should all bring choices of conservative business dress to include:
business suits, shirts/blouses & ties
sport coats/blazers
slacks/skirts
appropriate dress shoes
simple, subtle jewelry
STILL PHOTOGRAPHERS, CAMERAMEN should bring choices of dark casual clothing to include dark jeans, cargo pants, slacks, long and short sleeve casual shirts, long and short sleeve pullover shirts without logos, light weight jackets and hoodies. This is a layered look.
DC COPS will be given a uniform by the costume department. Please bring a pair of black socks and a white, crew neck tee shirt. Also please bring a pair of black ankle boots or solid black sneakers.
SECRET SERVICE All Secret Service who worked on Wed & Thurs of this week must bring exactly what you wore on those days. If any portion of your costume was given to you by the costume dept, we will match that. Exactly means exactly! The same shirt, not just a white shirt.
If you have not worked as Secret Service yet this week please bring the following:
dark suit, preferably black, grey or navy
white long sleeve dress shirt
dark ties with very subtle color and pattern
black socks and black dress shoes and belt.
Thanks to everyone in advance for bringing the right stuff. We look forward to seeing you on the set!!

WEDNESDAY 9/28 CIA HEADQUARTERS
Hello everyone. Thanks for joining us on HOMELAND. Many of you will be returning and know the drill, some of you may be new...
Following you will find the instructions for what to bring for your role(s) as a background player.
Please read and follow all instructions as closely as you possibly can. It is very important to bring as much of what we ask for that you have. It gives us more options, and more options means that everyone looks as great as possible!!
We are shooting Summer in our story but would prefer your color choices to be more muted and softer colors, like those of Spring. Solids are good, as is texture and pattern, just nothing too busy or bold. Bright white is usually too much for the camera to take, except for maybe a dress shirt that will be mostly covered by a jacket and tie. Also, true bright red is a no-no. As always, clothing with large obvious logos are not good choices.
We will be shooting 2 story days so everyone will need enough options to be able to pull both days.
CIA ANALYSTS, CIA TECHS, CIA AGENTS, ADMIN TYPES & LIBRARIAN CLERK:
Regardless of the role that you have been told that you will play, the reality is we need to have the flexibility to put folks in a variety of looks. We always have to play to the scene. For that reason I would like everyone that is working tomorrow to bring choices of all of the following:
business suits, dress shirts/blouses, ties
sport coats/blazers
casual button front shirts and blouses, long and short sleeve
sweaters, pullover and cardigan, sweater vests
slacks and skirts, khakis and jeans
hoodies, light weight jackets and pullover casual shirts
Don't forget the shoes that will work with all of your options.
FBI AGENTS should bring options of dark suits and light colored shirts including white, cream, tan, light grey and light blue. Please do not bring what we call royal or french blue as it is not a good color for the camera. You should also bring dark, subtle ties. They can have pattern, just nothing too bold or busy. Don't forget your dark dress shoes and belts.
VP SECRET SERVICE should bring options of dark suits, preferably black, navy and grey. Also bring either white or cream colored shirts. Please bring dark, simple ties without too much pattern or color. Those of you working as SECRET SERVICE tomorrow will be working other days in this episode and will have to repeat this same exact outfit for continuity. This is just a heads up now that you will have to wear the identical outfit for several days and will have to bring everything with you each time.
Thank you in advance for bringing all the great stuff. We look forward to seeing you again, or meeting you for the first time. See you on the set!!

Hello everyone. Thanks for joining us. Following you will find the instruction for what to bring for your roles as background players tomorrow.

Casual shoes to go with your options. Don't forget your belts. Ladies please bring a handbag that would work with your costume options.
NEIGHBORS should bring several options of casual clothing that you would wear to the store, around the house and in your neighborhood. These should include things like non-ripped jeans, khakis, skirts, casual dresses, long and short sleeve casual shirts and blouses, light weight jackets and sweaters.

Caps without logos would be good too. casual shoes to go with your options. Don't forget you belts.
SECRET SERVICE MEN should bring options of dark suits in black, grey and navy. Light colored shirts like white, tan, cream, light grey, pale blue. Please do not bring shirts that are what we call French Blue. That blue is hard for the camera to take.
