If you are confused on how many you can post, ASK FIRST, and I will let you know. I caught up with Supergirl filming episode 6x12, directed by former Arrow star David Ramsey. On this day, the cast & crew were in a a couple alleys across the street from each other in downtown Vancouver during the day, then out on Richards Street for a short night shoot. In the daytime, they had 2 units working at the same time, and director Ramsey was bouncing back & forth between units. On 1 side, they were doing scenes in the same alley as yesterdays shoot (that report is HERE), with the towncar there.... but unsure what exactly they filmed, as the scene was mostly not visible yesterday. On the other side, they were preparing a scene with the unknown woman from yesterday & her security guards, getting chased by Azie Tesfai (and her stunt double at times) as Kelly Olsen dressed differently than she was just the day before, as she had the more James Olsen Guardian attire than the outfit she was in the day prior. Thus, it seems Kelly will get her new Guardian outfit sometime in episode 6X12. Kelly wasnt the only character chasing the baddie though. Guardian was joined by director Ramsey, as he was on set in John Diggle attire. No sign of a Green Lantern outfit sadly. But now we know that episode 6x12 appears to be the episode he will be in for his Supergirl appearance. In the scene, the two heroes run down the alley after the baddies. While Guardian runs after the mystery woman, Diggle is stopped by her two security guys, and he has to fight them off. At times, Azie was playing Guardian for the scene where she probably had to do some speaking parts, at other times, her double was doing the scene. Same went for David, who also had double duty of directing, and his stunt double was there for some of the scenes as well, as you can see in a couple fo the photos where David is watching his double rehearse the stunt fights, so that when David came in, he would know what he had to do (even as Director, you need to still see it in action so you can just get the flow of it in person, as it might not be how you envisioned it when you were thinking of it on paper). After the sun went down, they did two very short shoots. First a scene with 2 kids walking through a parking lot, then a big bright flashing light goes off, and the two kids collapse, while background panic & run away. Then just around the corner, a scene was done with just Azie dressed as Kelly this time. She walks out of an Ethiopian Restaurant that was named "Selamanit Ethiopian" with a bag of take out food, and is on the phone to someone named "Joey" when suddenly a loud boom goes off, and she seems to no longer be able to talk to "Joey" as Kelly says in a concerned voice the name, as if trying to figure out if the person was still on the line. Unfortunately, when the scene was shooting, Kelly was walking too fast for my camera to catch her ins tride under the Restaurant sign, but I did get a couple photos of her near it between takes, as did she. With Azie also writing this episode, I have to feel the addition of the Ethiopian Restaurant was a choice she made, to show off her East African heritage in the scene in some way. Azie even posted on her Instagram as a story, a little teaser pic of the "receipt" that was attached to the bag in the episode. Since its an Instagram story, I've also added the image at the end of my gallery, in case you see this blog after it expires. Video will come later in April on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. So check in there for those later on. Some of the videos will be on the Patreon page for video tier members THIS WEEK, and more coming for a while (I have a few to work through).

On this day, the cast & crew were in an alley in downtown Vancouver that has been used by practically everyone at some point. The scene had a large portion of the cast on set, as Melissa Benoist as Supergirl, David Harewood as Martian Manhunter, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers/ Sentinel, Jesse Rath as Brainiac 5, Nicole Maines as Dreamer, and this episodes writer, Azie Tesfai as Kelly Olsen.... errr... I mean Guardian! Yep, the rumours of Kelly becoming Guardian this season have come to fruition, as she was sporting a new black & gold outfit today, and even had a matching coloured bike to go with it with a license play that reads "AZI G2", which clearly has the little not of the actresses 1st name slightly modified, unsure if the G2 has any meaning yet. Chylers character was also sporting a new bike, as her license plate said "TRI M3" which could be interpreted to say "Try Me". Also on set was 1 currently unknown blonde woman, and a man who was her driver, along with some background people. As usual, something bad was happening in National City. This time, it seemed that a clean up crew was busy working, trying to clean up the debris from a destroyed building, which had a sign saying "Ormfell Building" on it, which so far I havent been able to connect to any DC lore, but theres almost always a nod with the naming of things. In the scene, the unknown woman, gets driven through the group of cleaners to a spot where she stops, gets out of the car, where she is confronted by Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Brainiac 5, Dreamer, Guardian & Sentinel. The woman then puts her hands spread to the side, and all the people except for the heroes fall to the ground, as if they had died. The heroes continue talking to her.... and that was more or less the majority of the scene. They changed angles a few times, so I dont know if the angle changes added to the scene or not, as it isnt always consisting of the whole cast. In between takes, the cast were pretty relaxed, even getting caught by this fan dancing between takes. Later, Nicole was busy taking a load of photos of Azie with her new bike, then later, Nicole, Chyler, and Jesse were busy taking photos of Azie posing against a wall, and they comparing their photos together. Almost forgot about the 1 break when Chyler was practicing boxing, and David Harewood was volunteering to be her training partner while both in full on superhero costumes. The cast & crew are back for another day of filming today. Probably right now as I am posting this, they are feverishly at work, prepping, or just starting to shoot today. Lastly, I am trying out a couple new watermarking styles in the next while. Today, trying this very wide, all encompassing watermark, that is more transparent, but covers the image more. Let me know if you like this better for group shots, as opposed to the old method of putting multiple watermarks across the photo in all directions to cover everyone. Video will come later in April on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. So check in there for those later on.

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.
