As I look up to the clouds, I wonder what my next job will be. The film industry is not for the feint of heart. |
The bumper sticker on this Lamborghini will say "my other car is a Rolls!" |
Outside of the convention center looking south up Burrard Ave. |
This week on the WWE film Interrogation, took us downtown once again. We were at an art studio on Main and Alexander, apparently it was once an iron works. |
It's hard to shoot a film outside when the road is still open to the public. |
Inside, one of the sets that is one of the actor's homes in the film. |
As I wait for my next duty, I can see the action in my rear view mirror. |
In front of me I saw a lot of these posters, it's up to you to check it out. |
This shot was at lunch time, the camera is set down in front of the set. |
The movie is set in Minnesota, hah! We fool the world again. |
Later in the week we were back downtown. I just like the old buildings around Vancouver. |
another example, this was right beside our set, our work trucks were parked out front. |
I have a strange fascination for alleys, this one led to our set. |
As I waited outside set in the alley for the director, I wondered about these fire escapes on this building. What if they ever actually had to be used? |
Picking up the director, parked beside this sign. |
Well, I can tell you they could not pay me enough for that job. |
Outside the Fairmont Pacific Rim. If you can zoom in on this pic, there is a word on each unit, if you can't, well it's a nothing pic. |
Looking outside of our lunchroom location |
The actors and stunt people were rehearsing one of the scenes. They used a business lobby to look like a bank foyer. |
Later in the week we moved to a location on North Vancouver close to the Iron Worker's Memorial bridge spanning Vancouver to North Vancouver. |
Behind the set, I spied, or should I say this seal was spying me. |
Our circus was at the old set for the t.v. show "Falling Skies" |
Trees growing out of dead trees................. |
on set, the scene was for the two stars, who play cops, to come out of a tunnel. This shot is of the camera inside the tunnel, which is mounted on the end of the beam that you can see. |
Meanwhile, one of the goofier errands I have ever done was to go to Wal-Mart in North Vancouver for the director and pick up............... |
an Ironman doll, a joke gift for the director of photography, who apparently owns a van he nicknamed Ironman. |
The star of the show, wrestler Edge, on the day, was supposed to crawl into that tunnel, and scurry out on action. Wow, he's 6ft 6in and 250 lbs. OMG! |
Things are calmer behind set. |
One of the scenes involved a bank vault that they built on this set, the door is wood, with brass plating. It has been used on other films. |
It's all about the money, money, money baby! |
Unemployed again!!!!!!!!!, you'd have to be a loon to be in this industry! |
