Straight to Devon House, too.

Once again, no rest for the "yada, yada, yada." Shifted over from Haven Green (Black Mirror) to Devon House (yes, a code name.) On this day we filmed in Steveston. I had to take a pic of the downtown main street, so many memories of "Storybrooke" when I worked on Once Upon a Time.

 

.....flashback to the end of our Black Mirror episode. We spent 3 days at Riverview, including one day at the Center Lawn Building.

Ran an office run to the Haven Green offices at the Bridge Studios. Once again a reminder of the end of our run on The Good Doctor. This stage used to be the emergency ward of the hospital. That bay door at the end was the ER bay, wowsa.

Time to kill before my cast pick-up downtown, why not take a quick stroll around Granville Island?

The sun coming up under the Granville Bridge, pic.

Yay! Had a chance to work with Ed Rocker again. In my opinion, the number 1 background performer in Vancouver.

We spent the last 2 days filming at Allied Shipyards in North Vancouver. Hey, that's a lot of bosses on this film crew!

Lots going on here.

Near the set, are those props props?

Interested to know how they got a film crew in this small space.........

Close to wrapping on this evening, and I'm definately on the wrong side of the tracks.....

Morning moon over Mt. Baker  pic.

Ha! At the Tesla super-charger, charging at 1512 km/hr , never did figure out what that meant.

The railway bridge close to the shipyards pic.

Looking back towards set, soon to be a wrap on another show for me. What next?

Fellow Teamster cast driving peep Jordan is a little too close to the action.....

.....and I mean this wasp nest action, yikes!

It was a short 2 days off before we were back in action again. On this day, filming was close to the mighty Fraser River in Burnaby.

Looking up from the lower level of the Shangri-la hotel in Vancouver, where I spent a lot of time these past 3 weeks picking up and dropping off cast and execs.

We filmed one day out in Steveston at the historic Britannia Shipyards.

Now that's a poser!

What a gorgeous day it was.

....and the sun sets on day 5 of 9 days of filming additional photography for Old Guard 2. (It was originally filmed in Rome in 2023.) It was an honor to be Uma's driver while she was in Vancouver.

All that filming meant I had to listen to the baseball games on satellite radio.

The waiting for a booster fan, the dryer is blowing into a bucket of water, how frustrating, pic. (Don't get me started on the washer. Samsung never again.)

Haven of Green....

Well, never say never. I said I wouldn't ever drive an electric vehicle in my lifetime (various old man reasons), but when Netflix dictates that cast and director drivers have to indeed operate one, well, hmnnnn, either that or stay home, hmnnnn.

 

Random, a shout out to Bin 4 Burger Lounge in Burnaby, for their quite tasty mushroom burger.

Had a quick Asahi at the Nikkei Matsuri Festival earlier this month.

We spent one night at the PNE. (Remind me to never park in the Pacific Coliseum parking lot again, took almost 30 minutes to get out.)

What a great night. We  thoroughly enjoyed the.......

We spent a bit of time on Labour Day at Edmonds Park. Hosted by the Vancouver and New Westminster and district labour councils.

Look! I made the evening news! (I'd recognize that schnoz anywhere!)

I'm not saying I am holier than thou.......

Omg, the new reality. I'm in there somewhere. We all had to find Tesla super-charging stations almost daily. It was a full house at this one in Coquitlam. (20-25 mins. to get the batteries to 80%, 45-50 mins. to get them to 100%, just sayin.)

Spent 2 days filming at the Juniper Lodge (Swiss Canadian Mountain Range Association) in the hills above Coquitlam.

Very lodge looking.

The, stopped at a light, is that really me driving a Tesla?, pic.

Just a boring pic of my Tesla sitting innocently outside of the lunch tent, while I dined with the Teamster peeps.

The not so boring, someone backed into my Tesla while I was eating, that's a shame, pic.

Hard to believe any bare land exists between Surrey and White Rock.

We spent 2 days filming beside Colebrook Park.......

......where it was also hard to believe we could own Colebrook road for the 2 days. Now this is the kind of traffic I can live with!

The moon over Mt. Baker pic.

Look up, wayyyyy up. Sitting outside of the director's residence downtown. She's up there somewhere.

Look down, look wayyyyy down. My Tesla is down there on Abbott Street. (On this day I had to let the cleaners into the apartment.)

Wow, what views.......

....except for my finger being in the way.

One director driver + 3 cast drivers = 4 Teslas.

On this night a bit of an eclipse on the harvest full moon.

Two days of navigating traffic on 176 street in Langley. We filmed 2 days on the streets of downtown Cloverdale.

Fellow Teamster peeps Eugene and Randy hamming it up doing what Randy described as a "Silence of the Lambs" reference.

The Teamsters boys enjoying lunch on a beautiful day in West Point Grey in Vancouver.

Awwwww, thanks John for topping me up, much appreciated?

Hello darkness my old friend, back at Riverview again........

Spent 3 days filming, guess what, hospital scenes at one of my favourite standing by spots. (Lots of places to hide, lol.)
