Officially unemployed..........

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.

A day off, checked out the car show at the Vancouver Convention center. No need to walk any farther, I found my car! A Rolls Royce Phantom. The price tag? $869,000. It wasn't that bad. I only have to make payments until 2069.

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!

A pic of the actors, from left to right, the director, Stephen Reynolds, Julia Benson, who plays Sara, Patrick Sabongul, who plays Vasti, Chris, who flew in from Britain and is friend of the director, Michael Rogers, who plays Eric, "The Edge", and the star Adam Copeland, and Paul Jarrett, who played Walter

Unemployed again!!!!!!!!!, you'd have to be a loon to be in this industry!

Interrogation

Outside of B.C. Place on the last day of filming for Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. Wow, 16 days of shooting done in the blink of a camera!

Looking east across False Creek in Vancouver, was the weather going to cooperate?

The work trucks parked across the street from Rogers Arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks

and behind B.C. place, home of the Vancouver Whitecaps soccer team, and the B.C. Lions football team.

Filming today,including this burnt out car was on the grounds outside of the Edgewater Casino. It is also know as the Plaza of Nations, from Vancouver's world fair, Expo 86. It was a festive time in Vancouver town, I remember some of it well, lol !

Now look at this, the two stars of Electra woman and Dyna girl hand made this key chain for me as a gift for my chauffeuring them around. Very sweet, it's campy, but I love it.

Looking east again, weather looks good.

The evening sets in, the burnt out car looks very ominous

Omg!, one of the superheroes left his glove in my vehicle. How will "Chlorophil"? ever fight crime without it.

A little blurry, this was not a police incident, just a bad day for the criminals, Electra Woman and Dyna girl are kicking butt!

The next day we moved our "circus" to the P.N.E. , underneath the old wooden rollercoaster
 

I bet a lot of people do not know there is a pond in the middle of the PNE

One of the building on site, I liked the way the sun was shining on this window

Then, the switch. To the untrained eye, you would not know this is a new day on a different movie, called Interrogation, a WWE movie featuring..............

The Edge, Adam Copeland, one of the legends of the wrestling world. What a great guy, there was some young fans that showed up on set, and he was gracious enough to go and talk to them.

Day 2, (for me), I missed the first week of shooting down at Crab Park in Vancouver, close to Canada Place, the convention center and the rest of downtown

A little down time for the director, Stephen Reynolds, who hails from Britain. I was privileged enough to drive him around on another movie last year called Lockdown,

Look up, look wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up. Is that the new Trump Tower?

Nice light for a pic of the Port of Vancouver

Stop Harper, seeing a lot of these around Vancouver

I happened to be outside the window of the set, watching make-up putting the final touches on one of the actors. Hey, wait a minute, this is Canada, isn't it?

Doesn't the public know who we are? Taking over another busy street downtown, this time Hastings between Burrard and Thurlow

City lines

Our circus was close to the cruise ship terminal at Canada Place. This was the earliest docking of a cruise ship, a good sign for the tourism industry in Vancouver

We hire the Vancouver police to lock up the streets for our filming

I like the buildings of downtown

Another look up, later in the week, we moved to another empty building on Annacis Island. For two days we were underneath these behemoth electrical towers. Cannot be good.

Surprisingly enough these were growing very well

Lunchtime with my Teamster peeps!

I had to go to the director's hotel to grab his lap-top, he does have a pretty decent city view

Another duty for transport. The production manager shows me a pic on his phone of what he wants, then it's up to me to hit a Future Shop and get it.

The "Interrogation room " Notice the track around the table, and the camera cart that moved around the actors in the scene

Very busy day, almost 300 KM, just driving aound from the set to the hotel for the actors, to the circus to the production office

Better seen with the naked eye, I just liked the way the sun was shining off of this building.

This robin was quite curious to see what I was up to

I am on what they call a "low budget production" (although 2 mill sounds like a lot to me). We used drones (little remote controlled helicopters) to shoot our overhead shots, but the bigger production, "Arrow" used the real deal to film their scenes.

random downtown, from a long way away I saw these people fussing with someone

Love to know what the heck is going on here, nahhhhhh, maybe I don't.

hangin in alleys, that's how I roll ! End of one film, one more week to go on another, then.?
