The 4th season of the hit ABC fantasy drama "Once Upon A Time" has begun filming in and around Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Last week I caught the cast & crew out working in Steveston, or as you know it "Storybrooke" for a 2 day shoot. There was several scenes filmed over those 2 days, and I got a LOT of pics, so I am having to divide up things into 5 blog posts on it...yes FIVE. There was just that much stuff.

Despite the absurd security for a TV show shoot in season 4. The majority of the cast & crew were actually pleasant, even for the most part the security people. After all, they were just following orders from ABC/Disney to treat this 4th season show like its The Hunger Games. So umbrellas were out in full force...but it did little to nothing to stop the paps, or us set bloggers from getting more than our fair share of shots of the scenes. I for one, had over 2400 photos to go thru (granted about 600 of them were COMPLETE junk where the actors were blocked, or it didn't focus, or a few dozen of the cement, the sky or random peoples shoulders) so hopefully, this tactic will have seen its last day on the set.

So there will be blog posts on Jennifer Morrison & Colin O'Donoghue working together.
There will be a blog post on Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas working together along with a variety of other cast.
There will be a blog post solely committed to the 2 Dwarves I saw filming over those days, and anyone that crossed paths with them in the scenes.
There will be a blog post solely on the night shoots.
Finally, there will be a blog post solely on the newest character for season 4, from the hit movie "Frozen" Queen Elisa, played by "Fringe" alum Georgina Haig.

After a quick opinion poll on twitter, you guys decided you wanted to see some CaptainSwan pics first, so here it is.

The "Captain Swan" scenes generally consisted of Captain Hook (played by Colin O'Donoghue) coming up to Emma Swan (played by Jennifer Morrison) while she was out for a walk with her family. They then went aside from everyone and chatted. A second scene with the pair, ending in pretty much the same spot, had them coming from the opposite direction running, and looking back over their shoulder. What was catching their attention? You'll have to wait till the blog post on the Dwarves for that tidbit. There was also a scene with them & Elsa in a marine building. I believe, but am not 100% that scene precedes the scene of Hook & Emma running.

The scenes this pair did overlapped pretty much every other cast member that was around for the 2 days. They had scenes with Josh Dallas, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jared Gilmore, Lee Arenberg, Faustino DiBauda, Georgina Haig, Sean Maguire, Christie Laing, Raphael Alejandro and Lana Parrila, in various combinations.

On day 1, Jen & Colin came over to a crowd of about 50-75 people after a scene they shot with Georgina. The 3 of them came over, but Georgina, unfamiliar to most there, got away after only a minute or so while the majority of the crowd moved towards Jen & Colin. I am pretty sure everyone there got to me 1 or both of them, but the disorganized fashion the security team had for it might have caused a couple people to miss out.

Once Upon A Time will return for season 4 on ABC in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada starting September 28, 2014

If you want the photos untagged, I will sell images unedited. You can make that inquiry HERE.

and finally, on a semi-related note.

Sometimes, some people from crews are eager to be famous and do ridiculous things to get the attention of paps or set bloggers. One such case was this security guy. His umbrella antics were not what set him apart, because his other security detail co-workers did similar tricks.

Nope, it was his sexually suggestive comment which I wont repeat here, that he said to a photographer, infront of a group of people in the middle of the day which included several children. You wanted to be noticed, now you are. Congratulations. Choose your words more wisely next time.
