I caught up with Supergirl shooting in Surrey at Guildford Mall for episode 516. The director is Tawnia McKiernan. (you may know her name from 4 other Supergirl episodes in the past, including last weeks episode "The Bottle Episode).

This was a rare venture for me, as I dont usually go all the way out to Surrey for anything. But a combination of boredom, and an instagram post from Chyler Leigh got me curious enough to go out and check it out.

Unfortunately, I missed the scenes Chyler did in her new costume. I saw her double later dressed in some of the outfit, but not the whole thing.

What I did see though, and the context of the scene that was mentioned over & over again by the crew as they let the man on stage who at this time I only know by his character name of "Rock Starman" (is there any more of a music name than that??) know what is going on.

The scene has Rock performing on a stage, when suddenly a dragon comes in (obviously to be CGIed in later) and "Supergirl" comes in and saves the day. After its realized the threat has been thwarted, Rock gives an acknowledgement towards Supergirl and continues playing.

Not long after that scene, they did a scene with a mob of people rushing to the stage to cheer..... then, they wrapped.

The location of this concert was at a place called "Obsidian North Platinum" in a location called "Virtual National City Mall", so was this concert for top tier members of Obsidian?

I did find out a couple things, obviously the most important info being the episode number, and episode title. An episode focused on Alex being Supergirl makes some sense when you realize that Melissa Benoist is directing episode 17, and would be busy with prep for that episode right now. Now HOW she ends up that way.... we will have to wait and see.

Below are some photos form the set. But here also is a video of a scene with Alex coming in that a twitter user caught there.

Here are some of the photos I took from the set below. If anyone knows the name of the man playing "Rock Starman" feel free to let me know, and I will credit him accordingly.

I caught up with the cast and crew of Supergirl filming down near the Vancouver Trade & Convention Centre a few days ago. At this location, they had the walk thru courtyard between Hastings and Pender street set up with props for National City things.

The episode is being directed by veteran director Eric Dean Seaton. In this scene Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, Azie Tesfai as Kelly Olsen, and Mehcad Brooks, who recently announced he will be leaving this season, as James Olsen, were shooting a scene where they are out for a walk together.

Because of the tight space of this area, it was kind of tough to piece together everything that was going on in the scene, but it seemed that Kara & Alex were walking together, when they were joined by Kelly and James. The group then walked together for a bit while chatting before they stop,  then the Olsens go one way, while the Danvers go another. During the scene, at some point Kara has a some donuts as you can see from some of the photos. I remember one of the times when I was walking past the set, I noticed a stand selling things like donuts there, but never really paid it much attention at the time as I they had not filmed the part of the scene with the donuts yet. So I just thought it was another background prop.

Before this scene, they did a scene inside of the Mink Chocolate Cafe that seemed to only have Kara from the main cast in it. No clue what was in there as it was all indoors.

After this shoot, they moved down the street for another scene, which I will do another blog on this week with Melissa, Mehcad and newcomer to the show Staz Nair which includes a pretty interesting scene between the newcomer and Kara.

UPDATE: August 2, 2019 - News of the mystery girl has been added.

I once in a while have the luxury of stepping outside of my place and find a film set right there. On this day, the crew and cast of Supergirl were working in the building that is across the street from my place.

All of the filming on the first day, and most of the 2nd day was inside the Orpheum Theatre. The only exterior was a walking scene with background actors at the end of the 2nd day of filming there. The building is well known in Vancouver, and has been used by most every show out there at some point.

Early on the 1st day I saw some of the stunts team standing around outside waiting to film. At different points there I saw the doubles for Melissa, Nicole, Chyler, Jesse and a new girl that I do not yet know (* August 2 - we now know that it is Jennifer Cheon Garcia as "Midnight") .

During the lull that came with the morning shooting, I went for a walk and found the circus for the set. There was A LOT of cast trailers there, and were prepped for work that day. As you can see from the photos below, I saw the trailers for several of the cast, but could not see them all because of the angles they were parked at. I found it a bit odd that Nia Nal has a tape marker on her trailer, but Kelly Olsen already has a full printed plate for her door.

Back at the set, I managed to run into David Harewood and Jesse Rath as they left for their lunch break in the early afternoon and got some autographs from them on something cool I am trying to work on.

Later in the afternoon, I saw Melissa Benoist going to set in her Supergirl wardrobe, but she was hiding it under some type of sweater or blanket.

In the evening, we saw Katie McGrath and Nicole Maines head out to go grab burgers at Five Guys still in full Lena Luthor and Dreamer wardrobe. Nicole posted on her instagram about the experience of doing it HERE.

Little was really known about what was going on inside the theatre. All anyone can really confirm is what cast were there. Besides the ones mentioned in this article, Chyler Leigh and Azie Tesfai were the only other cast known to be there that I did not get photos of, or interact with at some point.

UPDATE MAY 5 (scene details added at bottom to a major spoiler)

I ran in to Supergirl shooting scenes for episode 22 of this season, which is their finale. The episode is being directed by Jesse Warn.

The cast & crew shot in 2 different locations at quite different parts of the downtown area. First was a spot they had used multiple times in the past, a park in Coal Harbour, which this time was changed to look like an area for a press conference.

Now I fully admit, I do not watch the show, so my knowledge of why a character would be doing something is not there. But this scene had Graham Verchere as George Lockwood giving a press conference where he was telling a gathering of reporters that included Nicole Maines as Nia Nal, to call for "unity".

After that scene wrapped, Graham shot a scene about 100 feet from there with a newer actor (did not even have an IMDB when I looked him up) Steel Bey who is playing the role of "Charlie". The pair stopped to look at their phones as a new alert comes in.

After that scene, it was time for a trek all the way across the downtown core to the far edge of Gastown, start of the Downtown Eastside.

The first scene over there was one in front of the "National City Transit Authority" where we find Andrea Brooks as Eve Teschmacher sitting on a bench when Patti Allan as "Old Lady" comes over and talks to her briefly before getting up & moving on. Again, not sure why, but Eve was hidden in a hoodie, and was sporting brunette hair  (I'm not confused right? She is a blonde on the show. Right??).

Near the end of this shoot, a little bonus surprise arrived. Katie McGrath, better known as Lena Luthor, arrived at the set. But not to work. She was walking her dog Oisin, she also was there to give crew and cast that she might not see for the rest of this season some gifts. She spent most of her time talking with Andrea, and a couple crew members, before moving on. After she was done interacting with the crew, the group of us there to watch called out to her as she was walking away, and she stopped at met with everyone there. Giving out photos with, autographs, and chatting with everyone. Interactions like this one with Katie is why she is firmly in my top 50 nicest celebs list, and when I do my next update, will surely move up a bit more

A little later they moved about 1/2 block up the street to their final location of the night.

The final shoot seemed to give the vibe of a double date night. Luckily some Supergirl fans at the set informed me that the two couples I saw are couples on the show, so I didnt have to speculate on this. Nicole Maines as Nia Nal, Jesse Rath as Querl Dox were together in 1 grouping, with Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers and Azie Tesfai as Kelly Olsen were together walking slightly in front of them.

The focus of the scene seemed to be on Alex and Kelly, as they stop at one point to have a conversation. I cant say what all happens, because I only really photographed the rehearsal for it. The cast security, who I have interacted with many times over the years on various sets, asked quite nicely if I could just co-operate with him and not be where I was because the actors wanted "privacy" for the scene. So I agreed and went for what I thought would be a good hidden spot, but somehow, someone in the crew saw me there, and he had to come over and ask me if I could move from there too. Even though I didnt have to, I obliged, as the way he went about it was not the usual demanding, bullying way that many others on most sets would try to deal with it. Not to mention, I know if I want autographs from the cast, working with his requests from time to time will help with that, as it did on this night. So the actual filming of the scene, I dont really know many details. All I know is the short little amount of pics I got during the rehearsals.

At the end of the evening, all of the cast members stopped and took photos and signed for the fans. For a show who has a cast member so anti-fan in its lead spot, it really is amazing how generous and friendly the rest of this cast is.

Oh, 1 other thing I got to find out. LaMonica Garrett as The Monitor, as I reported earlier this week with the first shot of him on an Arrowverse set outside of the Elseworlds crossover, was on the Arrow set earlier this week. I can confirm he is going to be on Supergirl too..... and he is there looking at someones dead body (all shot in studio, so dont expect photos of it). Start your panic-meters now. Who will it be?? Why?? Is it Crisis On Infinite Earths related? Guess we will have to wait and see.

UPDATE MAY 5, 2019, 11:15 AM - I can now confirm the body The Monitor is looking at belongs to...... LEX LUTHOR! The photo below shows the scene description of "Monitor approaches Lex's dead corpse", and the scene number is 71, which would put it QUITE LATE in the episode.... POSSIBLY even the final scene.

Back in early May, they shot scenes for the season 3 finale at the Vancouver Art Gallery (just across the street in fact from where they shot some of the season 2 finale).

On set at this location (they actually had two locations going on at once on this day) was a notable portion of the cast. Melissa Benoist as Supergirl, Mehcad Brooks as The Guardian, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, Chris Wood as Mon El, Amy Jackson as Saturn Girl and Erica Durance as Alura Zor El.

You can see still photos from this shoot HERE, or the other shoot that day HERE

Below is a quick video from this shoot of them doing 1 of the takes. I will have 2 more videos form this set to post, if there is enough traffic to justify editing it. If there isnt, I might post them on my youtube channel sometime down the road. But it wont be any time soon.

Back in early May, I found the Supergirl cast & crew shooting some scenes at the Vancouver Art Gallery in downtown Vancouver. Just across the street from where they shot the season 2 finale scenes I posted last year in fact. Of course, Canadagraphs was on the scene to get you these shots.

As I posted in my earlier blog post here, many of the cast were ons et this day. In the mid day-scenes they had Melissa Benoist as Supergirl, , Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, Chris Wood as Mon El, Erica Durance as Alura Zor El, and Mehcad Brooks double as The Guardian. Only differences in cast from the early morning shoot were Amy Jackson, as she wrapped her role on the series after that early morning scene, and Mehcad Brooks, who was no longer working at this location for some reason, despite the fact his character was still there.

The scene seemed to be a follow up to the morning scene. Where the earlier scene had people running around in a panic as the heroes showed up, this scene had the crowd stop to give them a round of applause for what I can only assume is saving the day.

I managed to nab autographs from Amy Jackson as she left, Chyler Leigh and Erica Durance. Of course, Melissa & Chris, didnt stop for anyone., while Mehcad managed to make a clean exit of the set when leaving without anyone but a couple regulars noticing.

There was another scene shot even later, after I left. But it had been a long enough day for me. So I called it a day after this. What do all these scenes mean for the finale? Who knows? Do they have any impact on who is & isnt coming back for season 4? Who knows? Does it explain in any way how they will film the first couple episodes without Melissa? Hard to say. Supergirl will start ups eason 4 production in approximately 3 weeks, but the shows star will not be around for the beginning, as she is doing a Broadway play till early/mid August.

The scene didnt really explain a lot. It seemed as if the scene was mostly Supergirl, Mon El, Saturn Girl and Alura arriving at a scene of chaos with Alex & The Guardian meeting up with them a couple seconds later, seemingly already on the scene. A little while later, they did a scene where it seemed like Supergirl was flying away, but they only did a couple takes of that one.

The one thing that was clear, they were all there looking at something they were not happy about. In a later scene, most of these cast, minus Amy Jackson & Mehcad (although his double shot the scene) did more shooting. I will have a post on that scene later on this week.
