UPDATE - AUGUST 14, 2021 - 6:45 AM. As promised when this blog 1st went up, there is an additional section of photos from the Friday shoot added below the last part of the original Friday photos. Instead of incorporating them into the subsections, I just gave them their own gallery so those of you coming here just to see the new photos, who already had seen the previous ones, didnt have to navigate through content you already saw. As I said at the time, there were so many I chose, that I couldnt get them up all in 1 shot, so I just got some up the first time, and the rest up later.

UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 - 12:30 AM. A lot later than I originally promised. But the final set of photos from this shoot from the Saturday shoot has been added to the end of the blog.

Also... apologies for the frustratingly high amount of photos with tree branches through them. We were all aware they were there, and were already frustrated with them, but it wasnt till I got them on a bigger screen at home that I noticed just HOW MANY were cutting through the middle of photos I thought were clean.

I have my Wednesday (Funeral) shoot blog HERE.
I have my blog from the Thursday shoot is HERE.

I caught up with Supergirl filming episode 6x20, which IS THE SEASON, AND SERIES FINALE in downtown Vancouver, in an area they have used before, Harbour Green Park, and the street out front of it. This time they were using the street, and the park, where as in the past, they had used these two areas at seperate times. The episode is being directed by Jesse Warn.

Early in the day, they had 2 units on the go. One with all the actors, out on the street, doing large superhero ensemble scenes, while in the park they were practicing, and performing stunt sequences with James, and Kelly Olsen in their Guardian attire around some explosions in an area they were calling "Russell Memorial Park" (unsure who that is in reference to). Later in the day Azie was also on set doing part of the scene, but Mehcad Brooks never was on set as James Guardian, but I have added those photos to the first part of the day set as there was not many of them, and it was part of that scene.

On set for the first of the 2 day shoot were
- Melissa Benoist as Supergirl
- Chyler Leigh as Sentinel
- Azie Tesfai as Guardian
- Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor
- Nicole Maines as Dreamer
- Jesse Rath as Brainiac 5
- Julie Gonzalo as Acrata
- David Harewood as Martian Manhunter
- Helen Slater as Eliza Danvers
- Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott
- Chris Wood as Mon El
- Unknown actor as James Olsens Guardian
- Keith Dallas as Al Crane
- Unknown actor (the one from the day prior at the Dreamer ceremony, may be Corbin Bleu as Trevor Crane, but I dont have enough details to go on yet)
- Unknown actor #2 as unknown character in a camo jacket.

For most of the day, the entire crew was out there together doing scenes. Sometimes a couple of them would be in holding, while the camera was focused on different parts of the scene, but for large portions of the day, the entire roster was out there (or in the case of Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, and James Guardian, sometimes their body doubles too).

The scenes had each of the heroes doing their reactions to a threat from some villains. They named A LOT of villains at a couple points. It started with Lex Luthor & Nyxlygsptlnz. But the dastardly duo summoned others like a reverse Endgame moment, with portals opening up for Overgirl, Red Tornado, Parasite, and Metallo to come & join their attack on the heroes.

Throughout the day, a couple different combinations of scenes were done. In the early part of the day, they seemed to have scenes with Supergirl and Martian Manhunter at the front, with the Guardians, and Sentinel off to 1 side, and Dreamer, Brainy, Acrata and Lena off on the other side.

After the lunch break they continued on with the same series of scenes, but this time, a couple of additions joined the team. Mon El & Winn were now out there as well. This time, the scenes had Supergirl & Mon El front & centre, with the rest of the heroes surrounding from the sides.

In between takes all day, you would occasionally hear explosions going off from the stunt team scene just around the corner in the park. The explosions would happen, then the team out on the road would yell rolling for their scene.

As the day went on, some of the cast would wrap. First up was Melissa & Chris. then a few others like David, Jeremy and Julie would wrap. 

Eventually, there was just 4 people left on set. With Dreamer, Brainy, Sentinel & Kellys Guardian doing scenes. As each of them was wrapping, they would give them ovations for wrapping their superhero portion of the show.

When Chyler did her final scene as Sentinel, she got her ovation, and Jesse, Nicole, and Azie came out to be part of it, and she seemed quite emotional over the end of the character, asfans who were watching that part said she was crying on the set, and when she walked back from the set, you can see Azie comforting her as she went to holding.

That was a wrap on day 1 for me, even though there was a couple smaller non-cast scenes that still seemed to be going on.

Throughout the day, I would leave the area where the filming was happening to do the main part of my job, getting autographs. So I might have missed the occasional detail. But there is a plethora of other fans on set who got many of those details I might have missed. At the bottom of the blog, I will list some of them.

As promised, here is some more photos from the Friday shoot. A few days later than I said they would be.... but finally, here they are. I know a few people were inquiring for buying the sets. There is a contact form on the side of the desktop page (or in the drop down menu on mobile) to inquire about the prices.

Sorry the last section of this blog took so long to get up. I honestly forgot about it a bit, then the actual work of blocking out Overgirls logo was that little extra effort I was just having trouble getting to. But they are up now. 

For the final public location shoot day, the main heroes cast was not on set. Jon Cryer, and Peta Sergeant had some work in the first half of the day, then later in the day they brought in Helen Slater, and an unknown actor #2.

While they did their scenes, stunt doubles for everyone were hanging around all day just chilling in full costume waiting to do mostly stand in work for the actors who had the day off. This happens a lot in the industry when you dont need to see the actors face, or hear them, they just have the stunt double/stand in stand there so that they have the physical shape there, and they shoot over their shoulders, or at an angle that maybe just catches their legs or something.

The scenes with Lex & Nyxly were quite entertaining, as they were constantly being told to scream in terror, as the Phantom Zone was opening up above them. I would not be shocked if 911 got some calls about their work, as it really did sound like people were being murdered.

A later scene had Eliza Danvers with a shot gun, and she spouts a line that was something like "in a past life, I might have been Kryptonian", which is a clear easter egg to the fact she was Supergirl once in the movies.

A little later, they got the entire stunt team together to do a photoshoot with the Burrard Inlet & the North Shore mountains in the background. Then shortly after that, it was officially a wrap. That was it. The end of all public location shoots ever for Supergirl were done. They have 1 more location shoot this week, but it is on private property, and is quite literally, inaccessible to the public.

Great resources to piece together any details I might have missed on these final shoots can be found at these twitter accounts...
Frog Photo - Professional photographer (some amazing shots, far better than what I get, she sells them too)
LenaLuthorr - Fan who gave details of the scenes that were shot.
TheMyscirabound - Photographer & fan who posted some photos/videos, and gave details of scenes.

​Video will come later on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. So check in there for those later on in a few weeks.
Some of the videos will be on the Patreon page for video tier members THIS WEEK.

I caught up with Supergirl filming episode 6x19, the penultimate episode of the entire series, directed by Glen Winter, on the riverbed of the Coquitlam River in Port Coquitlam.

Before I get too far into this blog, just want to say, this was definitely the worst set I have ever tolerated/endured for actual effort/problems. Some of that, self inflicted, like when I walked 30-45 minutes in the wrong direction on the river before realizing I was NOT going the right way. But some of it just the crew who really were overstepping their boundaries on this day, and if it weren't for the fact I was kind of beaten down from that earlier wrong direction walk, and just the efforts taken to get to anywhere in the park, I might have actually argued with them much earlier in the day about how they don't own the park. But I kept thinking "yeah, fine, I'll just go to the next spot", I kept thinking "okay, I'll just find another spot", only for them minutes later to tell me I couldn't be there either. There were a few spots to see the set from. Some with okay views but not great, some with semi-okay views long as you were willing to overcome some challenges (like the one we spent the majority of the day at, literally sitting in water, surrounded by bushes), some with shitty views. To give you an idea how long this day was, rough estimate according to google maps, was about 5KM of walking (2.25 of that in the wrong direction), 6 trips across a river, that at its peak came up over my knees, having to quite literally stand in the river, surrounded by trees to see the scene for several of the 10 or so hours spent there. Then when finally moving to another spot after getting the "okay", had the crew put up a massive scrim across the riverbed they were filming on to prevent anyone from seeing what was going on from the other end, meaning a trip back across the river, 2 more times, to get back to the original spot we were in, just for the last 30-40 minutes of filming for the day.

Anywho, now you have a slight idea what this day had in store for us.
The day started off with a not terrible view of the scenes, but it was just stunt work. A familiar theme on this day by the way, was stunt people in scenes. While almost every cast member was there during the day, many times, it was their stunt doubles doing the scenes, even when it wasn't a stunt. This is not a rare thing in the film industry, it happens quite a lot, but on this day, it seemed to be 5Xs more often than usual.

The first scene had the stunt team of Guardian, Sentinel, Dreamer, Lex Luthor, and Nyxlygsptlnz, along with a stunt double for a character that is played by a little unnamed girl. The scene had Guardian & Sentinel mainly fighting Lex, and I honestly never saw what Dreamer or Nyxly did the whole scene (for all I know they actually werent in the scene, and were just out there during rehearsals.... that happens a lot more with stunt people than actors).

Shortly after that scene wrapped, while they were prepping the next scene was the 1st time a crew member told us we would be in shot, and could we move. Since he asked nicely, I agreed at the time to do so, thinking I'd find a better spot. That never happened though. Ten minutes later, he was telling me, and a couple of the 9 fans that were at set that day to move from the 2nd location we found. Eventually, we all ended up on what I have referred to as the "island" which is kinda technically right,  but a bit of a stretch since at its widest, it was maybe 25 feet, and by the end of the day, maybe 18 feet. This is where the majority of my day would end up being spent.

Also in this set of photos, a couple pics of what we had to shoot through, as well as a feathered friend.... saw a few, but I decided this duck gets his 15 minutes of fame. Random note, despite Canada being known for beavers, I am about 80% sure that this set was the first time I had actually seen one.... or, 1st time I remember seeing one. But he was too fast for me to photograph....... anywhoo, back to the sets, right?

Once we had relocated to the island, things picked up a bit more. While many of the stunt personnel were out all day, some of the actors were seen on set from time to time. A plethora of scenes were shot, so many I really cant say I recall them all.

People on set for this day included
- Melissa Benoist as Supergirl
- Chyler Leigh as Sentinel
- Azie Tesfai as Guardian
- Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor
- Nicole Maines as Dreamer
- Jesse Rath as Brainiac 5
- Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor
- Peta Sergeant as Nyxlygsptlnz
- Unknown little girl as unknown character
- Martian Manhunter (David was not on set, just a stunt/body double)

The majority of the scenes had the heroes fighting on various battles against either Lex, or Nyxly, or both. As I stated earlier, these scenes sometimes had the actors, sometimes the stunt/body doubles in the the scenes. Some of the doubles were a little unconvincing when you saw them face on, but since they are mostly just needed for shots over a shoulder, or of them jumping/flying, they were able to fill the spots.

A lot of the scenes seemed to revolve around trying to get possession of a crystal type item that I saw no less than 5 different people holding at different points of the day, it was like a hot potato.

Since I know a lot of analyzing online has already happened over the Lena Luthor pics, I will break down what literally happened. Then explain why what you saw on line COULD, or COULD NOT be valid.

The first scene we see of Lena is her laying on the ground, eyes closed, rubble on top of her, while Dreamer lays near by as well. Lex walks over and has a gloating look on his face, before he turns and walks away. Lena seems to turn her head slightly towards him as he comes towards her, but only slightly.
Later, a 2nd scene was done which had Lena just up and sprint away from the fight scene into the forest. She only did 1 take that I recall of that scene.
Finally, she did 1 scene right near the end of the day of her showing up from nowhere out of the forest she ran into to seemingly do something that looked like she was performing magic, beside Supergirl. Again, I only saw 1 take of this shot. So random.

Now I know a few people have theorized Lena dies because of the rubble scene. Others have theorized she hasn't because of the fact she films the scenes of her running away. Problem is, when filming is done for a show, or movie, the order they shoot the scenes, is NOT the order they air on screen. Occasionally, some  may run continual because of the scheduling of the actors, and location availability, but often, they are not done that way. So basing that she is alive off her running away AFTER the earlier scene, as I had seen a few people suggest, is not a valid defense. 
Also, saying she is dead because she clearly looks like shes dying in the one scene is not a valid defense, as either of the latter scenes COULD be after that scene in the episode, or even, the fact she moves her head slightly in the scene could mean she survived whatever Lexs plan was.

Anywho.... I saw a lot of debate about this, and thought I would squash both "reasons" why either side thinks they are right. You'll just either have to wait and see what happens on screen, or, wait for more set content to come out and see what happened.

I know I usually post MUCH more than this from a set. But this set was very tiring, time consuming, and frustrating, so I just got this bunch out. If you want to see the other 700+ photos from the set.... I will have them for sale soon. Just inquire at the contact form to the left of the page, or on the bottom of the main page. I may add on to this blog later this month, time permitting, so perhaps check back later for more?

Video will come later on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. So check in there for those later on in a few weeks.
Some of the videos will be on the Patreon page for video tier members THIS WEEK.

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.

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.
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).
