| Wow, am I falling behind. January is almost behind us, and I am still dwelling on pictures from last fall! This was the beginning of construction on a new film stage at Vancouver Film Studios It has since been finished, and it possibly could not be at a worse time. The loss of tax incentives for the B.C. Film Industry means we are losing productions to other provinces like Ontario and Quebec. There is a petition going around to send to the B.C. government. You can sign online here |
 |
| As I continue to work in the film industry, my travels have taken me back to Steveston, for a location survey for the T.V. show Fringe (Once Upon a Time also uses Steveston as a home base.) |
 |
| It's a goreous spot if you ever get a chance to come out and see it. |
 |
| Another spot the film production companies like to use is the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve in North Vancouver |
 |
| This is in Lynn Canyon Park |
 |
| Still fall in picture land. |
 |
| this is Cates Park in North Vancouver looking west back towards Vancouver |
 |
| Later that night I ended up working for the T.V. show Falling Skies. They were doing a night shoot at the GVRD ( Vancouver watershed), way up above North Vancouver. A cold fall night, with temperatures dropping below freezing. |
 |
| The next day, my daughter and I headed back to Lynn Canyon Park to scope it out. |
 |
| The view from the suspension bridge. (no cost for this one) |
 |
| Is that a sasquatch, or just a grumpy old man? |
 |
| O Canada |
 |
| This park is really something to see, we barely saw a fraction of all it had to offer. |
 |
| A shot of the suspension bridge, it is safe, but you can still get it rocking enough to upset the people you are with! |
 |
| good advice |
 |
| Now we are in 2013. I went for coffee with a buddy in Coquitlam, on the way home I stopped by the Barnet Marine Park between Burnaby and Port Moody. It is very close to my place. |
 |
| It was a little chilly that day, but I will be back to check this place out more in the spring. |
 |
| Looking out over the north end of Burrard Inlet |
 |
| tracks crossing at the enterance to the park, |
 |
| North Burnaby is a bit higher up and there has been quite a few foggy days, |
 |
| cruising down Willingdon Ave as the sun tries to break through |
 |
| As January come to an end, I have started to go to more auditions for student film projects, today I had one at the Vancouver Film School . (to be continued!) |
