"Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn on Location second unit in Stanley Park"

I didn't get any photographs of any actors.  I didn't get any photographs of Kristen Stewart but I did see her.

This was a second unit shoot meaning no sound or dialogue by actors.  It was stunt work with stunt actors and some main actors.

On Location with Breaking Dawn in Vancouver 2nd Unit stunts

I found this location after receiving a great tip Sunday night.  I arrived around noon and spotted @Noel_Fisher and @Guri Weinberg, taking their turn on the Vampire speed treadmills.  Their costumes looked great.  I saw Noel Fisher arrive at YVR last night and he told me he was here for a few scenes.  He did a few scenes and they were wrapped about 4 pm.

I heard Kristen Stewart was going to arrive around 3pm .  Up until that point she was due to arrive,  watching what was going on was pretty easy.  They were just doing this running on the treadmill being towed by a truck.

I saw the same special tread mills at Capilano Park and were used by the same stunt actors last week.

I spotted the stunt actor who played Emmett taking a break lying out on the sidewalk.

I spotted Elizabeth Reaser taking her turn as Esme on the treadmill first.  Then I saw the stunt actors for Carlisle, Edward, Rose and some other female Vampire actresses.  I spotted the stunt Edward practicing some fight scenes with a stunt girl and the stunt co-ordinator.

Kristen Stewart's trailer.

I was able to watch Kristen Stewart as long as I didn't take out my camera.  She arrived with John her assistant and her personal protection team.  There was a set containment woman who spent at least 2 hours wrapping up the set so no one can watch what was going on.  There were at least 12 set containment day workers to patrol the woods and park and prevent people from taking photographs.

Kristen arrived, did her work and left after 45 minutes. They were so concerned with someone taking a photo, they had someone ride on the treadmill with Kristen holding an umbrella. 

It was great to see her run and in her Vampire dress.  She actually has a great running style albiet it was fake running on a treadmill.  

It was a fun day.  Check out the video on Youtube - Search Newsflic or I'll post it on my blog soon.

Filming Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn in British Columbia has come to an end.  After six months of filming parts one and two in Baton Rouge Louisiana , the saga has wrapped most of the principal actors on Thursday April 14.  A few cast members including Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and a few others remained in Vancouver to complete the final scenes needed for the saga.

Billy Burke and his family

Billy Burke, his daughter Bluesy La Rue and his spouse Pollyanna Rose gathered six weeks’ worth of luggage and made their way to their flight.  Several fans recognized Billy Burke and he paused to pose with about six fans in the airport.   His daughter was seated in a stroller and took everything in stride.

Several of the cast members carried guitar cases and I asked Billy if they had jam sessions and he replied, “We didn’t have much time to do that but we did get together at times”

Myanna Buring and Christian Serratos

All week long the cast has worked through the night to complete the wedding scenes in the outdoors of Squamish, B.C..  The weather has been cold, wet and nasty but Christian Serratos says “It was a total experience that made working in the night in the mountains in the cold and wet all the more interesting”.  Myanna Buring echoed the comment saying, “it was a wonderful experience and I am thrilled to be a part of the movie”.  Squamish and the mountains were lovely and I loved it all”.

Myann Burring and Christian Serratos

Myanna Buring who plays Vampire Tanya and human friend of Bella’s, Christian Serratos arrived together.  The driver fetched a couple of luggage carts while the tucker twosome waited in their van and chatted to the photographers.

Both said they were pooped from working nights all week long but the wedding and the whole party will look great.  Myanna was on her way back to London England where she calls home but is originally from Sweden.  Myanna said the weather didn’t bother her but it was tiring working nights but it was fun.

Myanna and Christian said the wrap party was combined with Kristen Stewart’s birthday party and it was

Justin Chon, Mike Welch and Anna Kendrick arrived shortly after Myanna and Christian and were happy to be heading home but sad the filming was over.   Justin Chon said he was off to do a Zombie Movie this summer where he turns into a Zombie and was looking forward to working on that feature.

Early in the day, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Ashley Green and Gil Birmingham made their way through Vancouver International Airport to catch an early flight home to LA.  Gil Birmingham said he was off to a Twilight Convention and Ashley Green was happy to be going home.  She had her tiny dog Theodore while her other dog, Marlo recovered at home.

A quick video showing what second unit filming looks like. It is filming without dialogue. Most of the filming was stunt work. Kristen Stewart showed up on set around 5pm. She had to fly in from NYC where she spent the night with Robert Pattinson for his movie premier Water for Elephants.

I didn't get any pictures of Kristen and it was very hard to get any photographs of anything. We were allowed to watch as long as we didn't take any photographs.

I made this video at the end of the day and away from the set.
