Let’s kick off today’s entry with a (sort of) pic of Tara Yelland – actress, entertainer, stupendous stand-in, and princess (For real!)…
We started the morning with the reception area so that we could shoot out Francois Berleand who heads back to France today. Another great Tarconi scene. Apparently, before leaving, Francois let it be known that he had a terrific time on set, in no small part due to his interaction with Director Bruce McDonald (who seems to be gaining a lot of fans amongst the cast and crew).
Too busy today to get any work done on the Payback rewrite. Just like yesterday. So far, I’m 0-2 with ten days to go before I prep my next block.
You do the math.
We were about to shoot our first scene in Rousseau’s office when the dulcet strains of a street corner musician rose up to greet our first take. We waited while someone went downstairs to talk to the guy (pay him to go away?). It reminded Rob of an experience he had when he was shooting something downtown across from a condom shop. Apparently, the owner of the condom shop was playing some loud music. The production asked him to turn it down. He refused. They offered him $50. He demanded $850. They refused. He turned up the music REALLY LOUD. They caved.
I have to ask – why is a cow in two pieces halfway down the outside of a building?
“I think the production may be haunted.”
😮 Cool !!!! I want to hear ALL about it! Remnants of Silent Hill?? Maybe something is following Bruce McDonald? Maybe a poltergeist!
haunted? Cool! Eagerly awaiting that story…
A haunted production?? Oooh! I want to hear more. We are in Flagstaff, AZ tonight. Will be at our destination tomorrow.
Have a great evening!!!!
I’m not so sure about those guys by the elevator.
Two by two, hands of….

P.S. Thanks for the production updates!
Tara, if you are out there…PLEASE, continue to torment Joe. Please…pretty please. We need a person on the inside. Back in Vancouver it was Ashleigh. Of course, Joey tried to make Ashleigh look like the villain, but we all knew she was our hero! If you need some pointers, just do a blog search for Ashleigh…or better yet, drag Joe to a raw foods vegan restaurant! 😀

@Lisa R – Good thoughts and best wishes for life on the West Coast. New adventures await!
Hi Joe,
Can we still post questions about SG-1 for you?
Nick
Were there no electricians on the shoot – they specialize in making electricity (or lack thereof) work for the betterment of all…
Tara has beautiful hair! Just struck me in the photos.
I don’t know, but posting that bit about finding where you guys are filming and playing loud music gets you money may be a bad idea.
Been reading you blog for awhile, finally had somethign to say.
Really enjoy you blog, BTW.
@BMc: Thanks. We’re looking forward to it.
Is the ghost going to demand money too? Paying someone to be decent and considerate. What is the world coming to? Transporter is for a cable station right? Why didn’t the store owner just ask for free advertising? You know, a quick sighting of his condom shop while Frank walks down the street or something?
Das: Are you trying to “turn” Tara? For shame!
Maggiemayday: I thought the same thing when I saw Tara’s hair. Beautiful color!
Thanks for the pictures! It’s exciting to see the show coming together.
Hi Joe,
Do you really think it was wise to tell would be ‘musicians’ about the guy who got paid off?
None of your regulars would do such a thing…but, you never know who’s reading your blog!
ah, maybe better be nice to Tara, she might know where they hide the macarons,
How is Maximus? Hello Akemi! Have a great day!!
The guys with the stretcher look kinda ghostly…
