Fake snow looks, errr… fake
Walking to Waterfront station today I noticed that Thurlow was closed by Cordova and it had snowed. Or rather it looked like it had snowed. Or actually it looked like some had dumped out several hundred boxes of soggy laundry detergent flakes on the ground. It was a movie shoot, and the fake snow probably looks much better on screen than it does in real life.
I’ve done a bit of net popping around to see if I could figure out what film was being shot there, but I haven’t found anything. My guess it’s either Christmas Cottage or Snow Demon, given the winter effects [vdc].
And by the way, Watchmen filming in Vancouver? Nerdgasm.
Update: Really fake snow actually looks not bad in still photography.
I asked a security person when I passed by today and she said it was for a Nissan commercial.
That ‘now filming’ list is far out of date. There are more official places to get your film lists in future:
