I caught up with Supergirl shooting in North Vancouver yesterday at a place called "The Shipyards" near Lonsdale Quay for episode 508, directed by Marcus Stokes.

In the morning they were shooting a scene at the "National City Tar Pit" with Julie Gonzalo as Andrea Rojas, Mitch Pileggi as Rama Kahn, and Rebecca Ferguson as Acrata (no speaking lines, just doing running scene for Julie so the camera can get the scene all in 1 shot).

The scene had a bunch of tourists at the Tar Pit looking around at the exhibit, and dinosaurs that were also there. Andrea and Rama walk along a walk way above the display, before descending down the stairs towards the main area. Once down on the floor, the pair have a talk where Rama seems to be talking to her at one point quite menacingly. He then does something with his stick, and Andrea reacts as if she just had been snapped out of a spell. A moment later, the tar pit starts bubbling, theres a distraction, and Andrea grabs the staff from Rama and takes off. A moment later, the Acrata stand in is up top, with the staff and takes off at a full sprint out of the area.

Later on, Julie & Rebecca left, and Melissa Benoist and David Harewood came in to do scenes with Mitch, and you can find my write up on those scenes HERE

I caught up with Supergirl shooting in North Vancouver yesterday at a place called "The Shipyards" near Lonsdale Quay for episode 508, directed by Marcus Stokes.

There was some scenes early in the day that I will do a separate blog on later on with Julie Gonzalo, Mitch Pileggi and an unknown woman. This post will focus on the scenes shot later in the morning & through the afternoon. Melissa Benoist as Supergirl was on set publicly in her costume for the first time since her recent wedding to former Supergirl actor Chris Wood. She seemed to be in all sorts of good moods through out the early part of the day. David Harewood as J'onn J'onzz and Mitch Pileggi as Rama Kahn joined Melissa on set for these scenes.

The scenes the trio shot were taking place in the "National City Tar Pits". The scene had the two heroes show up at one end of a dinosaur exhibit, Supergirl holding a gun from Luthor Corp. After arriving J'onn and Supergirl looked at each other a bit confused as if they werent sure what the problem was, then a couple moments later an earthquake happens, sending the non-aliens there to the ground. At the other end, Rama Kahn was standing there, seemingly waiting for the confrontation with the heroes. Supergirl yells out his name at him, and he replies to her with her name and references to an apparent prior interaction they had elsewhere. After the conversation between the two, the heroes decide to run at Rama (why cant they fly at him? Why are they running at regular human speed?).

A bit later, they did another scene with the trio. Rama now standing further back in the exhibit, J'onn on the outer edge of the exhibit, and Supergirl in the middle, still with her "sonic cannon" (what I heard it being called by a crew member) gun near a crater that was now on the ground. Rama "throws sand" at J'onn which irritates him enough that he leaves where he was standing and moves over to where Supergirl is. The two heroes then have a chat which ends with J'onn leaving, and Supergirl seemingly being left to take on the big bad by herself. She also did a scene where she seems to shoot the gun in the direction of Rama Kahn. Whether it had any impact is unknown.

At the beginning of her shooting day, Melissa showed up and surprised a group of school children that had stopped to watch the filming. She came over, high fiving them all, and even telling them a little bit of what she was going to do in the scene. A bit later, as any of you who follow her instagram already knew, Melissa decided to have some fun with some of the props on display. Melissa got up onto one of the dinos and had photos of her riding it like a bull, then went over and got a photo of her hugging a t-rex leg.

Eventually my camera ran out of battery, and I decided it was a good time to call it a day. This is the last episode before they start shooing the 5 part Arrowverse cross over Crisis On Infinite Earths, so it will be interesting to see if anything happening in these scenes are connected to the mega-event.

At the bottom of the page is video from the scenes.

A reminder... DO NOT attempt to post the video to your own social media accounts or website.
If you want to show your followers the video, you can do so by linking to this blog posts directly, or posting the original youtube link.
Re-uploading it ANYWHERE and not simply linking to the original post will have it removed, and depending on the platform, could have your account suspended or terminated.

In July, I caught up with Supergirl a few times out and about filming.

Here are some videos from two different sets.

First, was Katie McGrath and Nicole Maines meeting fans at the set of episode 501 at the Orpheum Theatre. Apologies on the 1 Katie video, for whatever reason, my camera was unclear what to focus on throughout the entire clip. So it does get blurry at times. You probably recognize the videos from the day that Nicole Maines posted on her social media about going to Five Guys Burgers in full wardrobe.

At the end is some video of episode 503 being shot with Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers, Staz Nair as William Dey, and Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen.

If you are watching & wondering whats wrong with the audio. DONT. Audio is removed to prevent any possible copyright issues on Youtube. On my site, it isnt a problem, but for YT, it can be an issue if some song is playing in the background as a vehicle goes by & suddenly some intern at a record company that thinks your stealing from the boss who doesnt pay them files a claim against you. Sooo, no audio for YT videos.

You can find photos from the scene in the video HERE, as well as earlier on that day scenes with Chyler Leigh, Azie Tesfai, along with Melissa and Mehcad HERE
When I have a few more minutes this weekend, there will also be video up of the Melissa, Mehcad and Staz scene, I will add the video in here when it is done.

I caught up with the cast and crew of Supergirl filming in a couple places a couple weeks ago on back to back days.

To start was some shooting in the downtown Eastside. They did scenes at two different spots there. First, in a firehall museum. I saw 2 cast and another person who I believe was in the scene go in & out of there, but dont know what the scene entailed. Melissa Benoist was dressed as Kara Danvers, Mehcad Brooks was dressed as James Olsen, and a 3rd person I saw go in & out who honestly, seemed to be barely clothed under a robe they had him wearing in & out of the museum.

After that scene wrapped, they moved across the street to a bench at the front of a building. There they did a night scene with newcomer Staz Nair as William Dey, who at the time I did not know anything about. He shot a scene with an older bald man. The older man crosses the street, sits down next to William, talks to him, before handing him something, then getting up and leaving, before William does the same a couple moments later.

The next day, I saw Staz again on set, with Melissa and Mehcad shooting a scene at a building in downtown Vancouver. Everyone seemed to be dressed the same as the day before, so I wonder if this was a continuation of any of those scenes, or set ups for them. This time however, the 3 of them were all in the scene together. It starts with William walking out of a building that they had Catco signs up around, before he is stopped by Kara. William then attempts to leave, when Kara invades his space and physically stops him from leaving. Eventually William does leave, just as James comes out and talks to Kara. Kara looks in the direction of where William was headed with an irked look on her face before James & Kara walk along in that same direction. What was the conversation about? Who knows. We will have to wait and see, but it was clear Kara was not impressed with any of it.

During one break, Farley was brought over to the set by the driver to hang out with Melissa. Melissa picked him up for a couple moments and was carrying him. 

One last thing, I had some random person message me privately asking if Staz character was wearing a wedding ring. Apparently this is a big issue...... so let me just state, you can clearly see in a couple of the photos he is in fact wearing one. So whatever reason this mattered, theres your answer. His character appears to be married.

You can find photos form a scene earlier on the 2nd day with Chyler Leigh, Azie Tesfai, along with Melissa and Mehcad HERE
When I have a few more minutes this weekend, there will also be video up of the Melissa, Mehcad and Staz scene, I will add the video in here when it is done.

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.

I caught up with the cast and crew of Supergirl filming down near the Vancouver Trade & Convention Centre today for a scene.

Today they had a scene with Melissa Benoist dressed in her newly revealed season 5 Supergirl outfit, with a new colour scheme, logo, and pants added.

Melissa showed up after the lunch break to shoot a scene where she stops a semi-truck from crashing into a car with a family in it. In earlier scenes with no main cast, they filmed a scene where the car had to swerve to avoid a woman walking & not looking where she was going.

Despite a couple aggressive PAs who seemed to be confused about how public property works, the crew were quite understanding of everyone standing around taking photos of the new suit.

So, here it, your first look at Supergirls new threads.
I will try to post a few more photos later, but I wanted to give you all something to look at.

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.
