I caught up with Supergirl filming episode 6x11, directed by Glen Winter, at George Wainborn Park in Vancouver earlier this week for 2 conseuctive days. This is the day 2 set report. Day 1 report can be found HERE.

On the 2nd day, they were filming in the park area again. This time, with more cast than the day prior. Melissa Benoist as Supergirl, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers/Sentinel, David Harewood as Martian Manhunter, Nicole Maines as Dreamer, Jesse Rath as Brainiac 5, Thomas Lennon as Mr. Mxyzptlk, and Peta Sergeant as currently unknown character, but most commonly guessed theory so far is Mrs. Nyxlygsptlnz.

I was there for the scenes before their lunch break. They started with the 5 main cast all handcuffed to large tinfoil poles. The scene generally consisted of showing the actors struggling with the restraints. If there was any dialogue in this part of the scene, I never heard it.

After a while, they removed the posts, and the cast were now taking up combative positions. Brainy & Martian Manhunter were holding some sort of pistols, while Sentinel had the Phantom Zone projector for a bit, then had a gun later, when Supergirl picked up the projector. Dreamer was armed with just her hands.

Behind & beside the camera was Thomas, and further back Peta, reading their parts of the scenes, while those in front of the camera acted out their actions. They then went on break.

After the break, the scene had all 7 actors in front of the camera, continuing on from the earlier scene, and a couple of photographers who were there in that late afternoon set were kind enough to send me a few of their photos for this later set.

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).

I caught up with Supergirl filming episode 6x11, directed by Glen Winter, at George Wainborn Park in Vancouver earlier this week for 2 conseuctive days. This is the day 1 set report. Day 2 will be a couple more days. There was a lot to go over.

This park is the same location that Supergirl used back in season 2 for a scene between Superman and Metallo that I shot HERE

On this day, they started out on the street surrounding the park. When I first showed up up the morning, they had a pile of debris, smashed up cars, including at least 1 on fire, and emergency vehicles scattered along a 1 block stretch of area. Shortly after I got there, they did a take of the scene, and it included multiple large explosions, with fireballs reaching about 10-15 feet into the air. Eventually, after several completitions of that stunt sequence, which included people running around in a panic, including emergency people. They then had the casts stunt doubles come in to react to the explosions for a couple takes. Then the cast came in to shoot a take with 1 explosion, instead of the 2 they had been using earlier.

Melissa Benoist as Supergirl, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers.... wait nope, scratch that, Sentinel (if you watched lhe season premiere, and look at her left arm in these shots, shes sporting a new logo on there), David Harewood as Martian Manhunter, Nicole Maines as Dreamer, and Jesse Rath as Brainiac 5 were on set for the scene. Also spotted at the set was an actress that at that time I did not know the name of, and I never saw IF she was in the scene (BUT have to assume she was since she was there during the filming), in the recap below this set of photos I state who the actress is, and who she COULD be in the show.

There was a couple different scenes early on that did not seem to show much of what they were doing from the angles I could find on the far end of the street. With the curved style of the street, and all the vehicles scattered about in the background, seeing exactly WHAT was going on for the earlier scene, was almost impossible. It just consisted of the 5 of them walking to the front of a minivan, then out of my view to confront something. When I later moved to the other end of the street, I was able to get a bit of a view of the group facing a bit my direction, but still could not see who they were confronting.

Next, they did a scene, a very short one (or at least short when I noticed it maybe?) where Supergirl is mimicking that she is being choked, as the heroes rush into support her. Again, no clue what made that happen, or how it ended. They did not seem to film the scene for long, and moved on to setting up for the next one. While they were setting up for the next scene, Nicole wandered off to an area with more space to practice doing a stunt with a rope. I never did see her actually do the scene WITH it.

After that scene, they did a scene with them facing back in the direction I started my day, but with all the vehicles there, I had to find a side angle to get a shot of the 5 of them. So in almost every shot I took, there was almost always 1 or more of them blocked by their co-stars.  At one point Alex has a bazooka for some reason. Then later she did a scene where she seemed to have a baton or something like that in her hand.

They then had just Dreamer & Brainy doing a scene together where Dreamer is pretending shes pulling on a rope, and getting dragged along, and Brainy comes rushing to her side with the cannister he was carrying around throughout parts of the day with him. In it, Brainy yells out "Dreamer no" before he rushes over to her, and when he gets beside her, she yells at him "what are you doing?".

I frankly wouldnt be shocked if I forgot something in all of this.

It was a chaotic day.... and it wasnt even over....

I went for a walk for a bit at one point to find a place to recharge my cameras battery (and failed). On my walk, I found some of the set decoration that will be in the background during the earlier scenes, and, conveniently was part of a wall they had built around some of their equipment and catering trucks. So I took a few photos of those.

Later on, they moved down into the park, a scene was shot down on the grass. It had Melissa on set in her Supergirl outfit, along with Thomas Lennon, returning as Mr. Mxyzptlk, and a woman that I did not immediately know, but has been ID'ed as Peta Sergeant by a couple observant fans. What her character COULD be, is still unknown. But some speculated it could be Mrs. Nyxlygsptlnz, which is Mxys wife in the comics. If it is, then something isnt going well in their marriage, because they did not seem to be getting along in the scene.

The scene starts with Supergirl & Mxy jumping in, and they are searching for someone. At the time I was having trouble figuring out why Supergirl kept yelling out "Myxly" when he was standing right beside her as they walked along, but after being told of the other character "Nyxly" seems more probable. In the scene, Petas character has a round orb (I called it a "large marble" at the set, because "orb" escaped my mind) that she shoves in the direction of where Mxy and Supergirl are, and Mxy moves towards her, before Supergirl tries intervening, and playing peacekeeper. She yells at Petas character "Wait, wait, we can work this out" as she moves closer to where Mxy was, which was about 1/2 way between where Supergirl & Peta were positioned. That was all I saw of that scene, and that was the end of the shoot for that day. There will be more, as I have some content for day two coming this week(end) as well.

Video will come later in April on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. So check in there for those later on.

The cast & crew of The CW superhero show Supergirl were back at work this past week after their holiday break.

They had 3 days of shoots in the downtown core, starting with a Wednesday shoot inside the Orpheum Theatre.

On Thursday they moved to a popular filming spot at the foot of Hornby Street on Pender. Its recently been used for the 1st episode of The X-Files revival series, part of the intro for The Flash, and episodes of Fringe & many others. But is probably best known as the place in Dead Like Me where the star of the show is killed by a falling toilet seat in the pilot episode.

The crew, and more importantly the cast, including the shows star Melissa Benoist braved the low single digit celsius temperatures to shoot a scene for the episode. Along with Melissa was guest star Peter Gadiot as Mr. Mxyzptlk. I was fortunate enough to see Mr. Gadiot arrive in town for the role, so I knew ahead of time he was in the episode...but didnt say anything about it at the set to others until someone else noticed. To be honest, I am a bit shocked anyone knew what character he was, since he doesnt look anything like how the character historically has looked.

The scene sees the hero show up to foil an attempted bank robbery, but while she is seemingly taking shots off her chest from invisible gunfire, Mr. Mxyzptlk arrives seemingly out of nowhere, and Kara looks at him bewildered, before he snaps his fingers & something happens that causes Kara to run towards where the bank robbers were. A little later, they shot a scene where Kara elbows 1 of the crooks and KOs him.

Eventually, they moved indoors to film more scenes with other cast also in attendance for those scenes, including Chyler Leigh, Floriana Lima and Jeremy Jordan.

This location was of course crowded by fans, lookie loos, and a few paps, as this was also the 1st time since Melissas divorce from her former co-star Blake Jenner was announced over the holidays. I am pleased to say, Melissa seemed in really good spirits. She was often smiling, often laughing and considering how cold it was out, and how she was dressed, didnt seem terribly annoyed by the substantial attention on set that day. After 1 take, Peter & Melissa broke out into an improvised dance even.

Supergirl will return from Winter break on The CW on Monday January 23, 2017
