THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 523 OF "ONCE UPON A TIME". Do not continue reading or viewing the photos or article if you do not want to see/know anything about the episode prior to viewing it and have not yet seen the episode. . . . last warning . . Once Upon A Time shot several scenes in Steveston on their final location day of Season 5. After a vote on twitter to decide which post I should do next, the overwhelming majority chose for me to do the post of the Captain Swan scene. Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan and Colin O'Donoghue as Captain Hook did a scene (along with several others... but the scene seemed centred on them only.. there will be another blog post later with photos of the other cast on set, these are JUST ones of Emma & Hook TOGETHER.) where they meet in Storybrooke after driving back from New York City (if you had read my previous blogs...you'd know why). For wahtever reason, the pair engage in a deep hug. The type of hug you give when you havent seen someone in 2 months.... not 5-7 hours which is all it SHOULD take to drive from NYC to Maine. But, in the grand scheme of shaky TV writing, this is hardly the worst offence ever done I suppose. Just really unnecessary from a story dynamic angle though IMO... but I do admit, i'm not a viewer of the show anymore. So, really my opinion on it isnt that important I suppose. The couple then walk towards Grannys Diner with most of the group that returned ahead of them, but before going in, the pair stop right at the gate, have a bit more of a chat before they embrace in a big hug & kiss that sees Hook lift Emma off the ground. Once Upon A Time airs its 2 hour season finale Tomorrow night on ABC in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada.

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 523 OF "ONCE UPON A TIME". Do not continue reading or viewing the photos or article if you do not want to see/know anything about the episode prior to viewing it and have not yet seen the episode. . . . last warning . . Once Upon A Time shot a scene for their season 5 finale in downtown Steveston at the end of March. The small village is of course the most commonly used location spot for the show as "downtown Storybrooke". On this day, a few scenes were shot. The morning/early afternoon scene had Lana Parrilla as Regina Mills and Jared Gilmore as Henry Mills on set with a newcomer, Being Human star Sam Witwer. Its believed Witwers character is 1 of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. (the other being Hank Harris). The scene seemed to show Witwers character talking to Regina and Henry after Regina seemingly tries to stop him with magic perhaps. Also, it seemed to me on some takes Henry may have tried to use magic.... but I cant be so sure thats what I THOUGHT or what I actually saw from the angle I was at. Once Upon A Time season finale airs on Sunday May 15, 2016 on ABC in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada.

Once Upon A Time filmed a scene for the season 5 finale at the Vancouver Art Gallery that included a large chunk of the main cast & a couple guest stars. Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Robert Carlyle, Jared Gilmore and Olivia Steele-Falconer were already on set as you may have read in my prior post here. Joining them for this last scene of the day Josh Dallas as Prince Charming, Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White, Colin O'Donoghue as Captain Hook, Rebecca Mader as Zelena and Hank Harris as Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde (unconfirmed yet... but my sources state thats his character). The scene, seemingly was a continuation of the earlier scene they shot that had the earlier cast standing staring into a fountain with a group of other people in new York City when suddenly out of nowhere, the 2nd group appears. The last we had seen of this group (minus Dr. Jekyl) they were being sucked through a magical door in the middle of downtown Storybrooke. How did they end up popping up in a fountain in New York city? More blogs for the finale coming, still have 2 to do from their last Steveston day of the season coming up this weekend. Once Upon A Time will air this 2 hour season finale on Sunday May 15, 2016 on ABC in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada.

Once Upon A Time filmed scenes for the season 5 finale, episode 523 at the Vancouver Art Gallery in late March. This is the 2nd blog post about this shoot, you can find my previous one HERE In this scene there was several cast on hand, along with dozens of extras. The scene primarily focused on Jared Gilmore as Henry Mills, Lana Parrilla as Regina Mills, Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan and Olivia Steele-Falconer as Violet. Robert Carlyle as Mr. Gold was also there but I didnt see much of what his role in the scene was. He definitely wasnt front & centre of the main scene at the fountain as the other 4 were. The scene had Henry handing out pennies to a crowd of people around the fountain. They then all tossed their pennies into the fountain and "something" rises out of it. What that something is? No clue, it will surely be green screened in. I also never got an idea if it was good or evil because the facial expressions of everyone was all over the place. Eventually whatever this thing is seems to then crash down to earth and "something" is revealed to be there..... which you will see in the next blog post.                                     This scene seemed to take up the majority of their filming day. During breaks the cast would do what they could to keep themselves entertained. Robert Carlyle came over & met fans on 1 break. Thank goodness for me. I had 4 things sent to me before the start of the season to get done by Robert, and it took me till this last day of location shooing for him this season to finish them off. Once Upon A Time airs its 2 hour season finale this Sunday on ABC in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada.

Once Upon A Time filmed scenes for the season 5 finale at the Vancouver Art Gallery in late March, Its a location that pretty much every production in Vancouver has used at 1 time or another. It is easily 1 of the 5 most used locations in Vancouver, and maybe top 20 in North America with 2 large stair cases one on each side of the city block sized building, and an old courtroom inside (it used to be a courthouse) it is 1 of the most versatile locations around. It is quite common during TV season to come across more than 1 production using the location in a week. I even made note of it to a friend only a couple weeks prior to this shoot that "basically every show ever shot in Vancouver for any length of time has shot here but OUAT as far as I can recall"... and then voila, 2 weeks later they were there. An early scene was done with Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, Jared Gilmore as Henry Mills and guest star Olivia Steele-Falconer as Violet. The scene sees Henry and violet sitting outside a fountain in New York City. Emma comes up to the pair and speaks to the pair, Violet then gets up, allowing Emma to sit down and talk to Henry for a couple minutes. The scene clearly looks like a set up to the next scenes that were shot there that day that you will be able to find in future blog posts HERE and HERE (links will be added once they have been created)                   While this scene was winding down and finishing off their last takes, cast for the next scene showed up in the form of Robert Carlyle as Mr. Gold and Lana Parrilla as Regina Mills. Once Upon A Time has a TWO HOUR season finale on Sunday May 16, 2015 on ABC in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada. You can find all our Once Upon A Time previous blog posts including ones for episode 522 (the first half of the finale) HERE         THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 522 OF "ONCE UPON A TIME". Do not continue reading or viewing the photos or article if you do not want to see/know anything about the episode prior to viewing it and have not yet seen the episode. . . . last warning . . Back in mid-March Once Upon A Time filmed several scenes in downtown Steveston for episode 522, the first part of the 2 hour season finale. In the day scenes, they shot a scene with several cast & guest stars. In the night scene, it was all about 2 cast. Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan) and Colin O'Donoghue (Captain Hook) shot a scene that saw the pair, known by their fans as CaptainSwan, do a scene where they walk down the street of Storybrooke hand in hand before arriving at Grannys diner. Due to the angles and set up of the crew, there was very little to see of this scene. You basically had two options. Option 1- stand out on the street at 1 end with a tonne of crew, equipment and purposely placed scrims to minimize how much you could see. Option 2 - stand at the other end, but only get a quick 1-3 second glimpse of the pair returning from the scene and the very beginning of the takes. I chose option 2, which meant my view of the actual scene was limited to the very start, less than 1/2 a second of an angle to get photos of them shooting the scene before they disappear behind the wall I had to stand behind. There will be a couple more OUAT blogs this season coming up, as I have LOTS to post for the final episode 523, in which I shot over 2500 photos of. So I will try to get a couple of those up this week.            THIS POST CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 522 OF "ONCE UPON A TIME". If you have not seen this episode yet, and do not want to read or view any potential spoilers prior to seeing it, DO NOT continue reading this article or viewing the photos. . . . last warning . . Once Upon A Time filmed scenes for an upcoming episode in Steveston back in March with several cast on hand. In the daytime, they shot a variety of scenes that at the end of the shoot left those watching wondering VERY MUCH if they had just seen a lead up to how season 6 might start.             The scene they shot had a variety of characters and guest actors like Jason Burkhart (Little John), Amy Manson (Merida) and Raphael Alejandro (Roland) talking to a group of Storybrooke residents, including Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White), Josh Dallas (Prince Charming), Colin O'Donoghue (Captain Hook), Rebecca Mader (Zelena) and Beverley Elliott (Granny). It was pretty hard to hear any of the dialogue from the scene, but it was clear that the group were meeting up with the Storybrooke group to say some last good byes. They then shot a scene where Zelena opens a door that magically appears in the middle of the street and all the non-Storybrooke characters go thru. It starts with Merida going thru, she says her good byes to Charming & Snow then walks thru. It ends with Little John and Roland, who it seems is now in the care of the big sidekick of Robin Hood, just before they go thru Zelena has a talk with Roland, and I am sure we all know (assuming you are caught up on your spoilers) what that talk probably will be about. As Roland leaves, he waves good bye to Storybrooke as well as as Snow and Charming before going thru the door with Little John. Once thru the door, Zelena tries to close the door....but of course, this is Once Upon A Time, so it doesn't go as planned, and the group get sucked in thru the door. Video of 1 of the takes has been added below. As well, shots of a night scene (not many) with Colin & Jennifer Morrison will be posted later in a different blog post HERE. Once Upon A Time airs Sunday nights on ABC in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada. This episode will be part of the 2 hour season finale.                                     |
