Wed Nov, 4th – filming for S02E12 of FRINGE
Hey OLV peeps – Pandora here again. Got a chance to visit the Fringe set this week – they were shooting near the VCC-Clark skytrain station. This week’s visit was a little different from my usual encounters. The show was set up at an office building site for filming at the location for several days so it was a large scale shoot aka – everything was cordoned off.

Pandora was also on the set of Fringe in Vancouver on Monday night and sent us this full report:
Mon Oct, 26th – filming for S02E11 of FRINGE
First I must say, of all the sets I’ve been too, tonight’s visit to the set of Fringe was by far the most enjoyable. The cast and crew alike were a friendly bunch, taking time to chat with us. All the main actors were there – Anna, Joshua, Lance, John and Jasika. We didn’t want to bother John on his smoke break but the show’s ALM (I feel bad for not remembering his name) called him over for us anyway. He graciously signed my dvd sleeve and even stopped to chat about how it still amuses him to no end that his wife is a fangirl of the show.
Later on that night we got to chat with him again, he hailed us out when he was swarmed by another group of fans and we got a chance to get a picture with him this time. Throughout the night we got to chat with the show’s friendly, talented crew. We missed getting photos and autographs with Jasika…was busy talking to John again lol.
The highlight was definitely seeing Joshua Jackson. Okay…not really the seeing him part, but the fact that he remembered me and my friend Angie from like 2 months ago – you remember Angie: the English girl that missed her flight to meet him
. Anyway ,the poor guy was sick but still braved the cold weather to chat with fans and take photos and we talked about Angie for a bit, apparently he’d told the crew the story about how she’d missed her flight. While signing my dvd sleeve, he stopped to tell one of the crew “You remember the English girl that missed her flight? This is her friend!” Best night ever!
After sharing a chuckle over Angie again, Josh was back inside and back to filming. Sorry I don’t have a pic with him from tonight – was too busy talking about Angie and excited over the fact that he remembered us.
Shooting wrapped for the night around 12:30am. I was in utter awe of how quickly these guys broke down the set and got everything all packed up – seriously SPN’s got nothing on them
We caught Anna as she was leaving that night – my photo with her came out blurry *cries*…oh well, good reason to visit the set again
. She looked tired but we were able to put a smile on her face when I asked her for her autograph – I told her that John signed on her and it was only appropriate that she signed on him. Her response was “God damn him!” *shakes fist and laughs*
Despite the intense cold and losing my leather gloves, I had a great time. I can’t wait till we catch them shooting again. Here are some pics from our visit:

One of our readers, Natalie (@soupaircool) and her friend, Christy, met Joshua Jackson and John Noble on the set of Fringe Monday night thanks to a tip in our new Vancouver thread! Here is her full report and photos.
(Thanks Natalie, I’m jealous!!)
We saw a shot being filmed at the building next to Chambar. It was doubling as the New York State Troopers office. They also filmed a shot on the street (Beatty) at a faux New York newsstand. John Noble came out to smoke a cigarette between takes. He was sitting in his chair smoking. He saw me and a few other standing there. I held up my camera with a little “Can I” look on my face. He waved me over and took a photo with me and my friend as well as the other two girls there.
About 5 minutes later Joshua Jackson came out with either the director or someone that was telling him how to film the scene or giving “directions” which is why I assumed director but I know nothing about filming. He was standing around for about 10 minutes and then went back inside. I thought “Oh well, it was nice to see him in person but we’ll wait a few more minutes.” Joshua saw the 4 of us so I knew if he had time he would come back out. He has been so sweet to everyone I know who has met him. Sure enough he came back out and right over to us in about 10 minutes. He came out only to see us. There was no other reason for him to step outside. He is just that nice. He agreed to pictures but with a warning that he has been sick and he didn’t want to be responsible for making us sick. He took pictures with all 4 people waiting. He was incredibly nice and talked to everyone for a bit. Just an incredible guy.

Of course, if you have any location information to share about any of these productions, you can let us know at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
Just a noted about the information above, it is the official production info posted by the Vancouver Film Office. The phone numbers listed are for each production office but they won’t tell you much so it isn’t worth calling. If you call at night you may be able to find out the call times for the next day but not the location.
