Atlantis shooting this week in Tynehead Park

[Planet Surrey]

I was walking my dog and what should I come across, but the crew from SG:A shooting in Tynehead Park. Called "Planet Surrey" by the production people, it's a large park near my home in Surrey BC.

I didn't want to mess up the shoot so I kept my distance. I did see some wooden wagons and 4 sided huts with semi-circlular metal awnings. Interestingly, the crew was only about 1/4 the size of the SG1 crew. Normally, production assistants are waiting to intercept people on all the trails. Not in this case. All that was keeping me out was a polite line of orange cones.

Sadly, I may be the only SG fan in western Canada to see anything of SG:A since it is not scheduled to air here in Vancouver.

If the crew was smaller it was probably a second unit or something.

Man I am jealous of the people that get to see them shooting. Sounds like an Athos setting from the huts that u described. It could be a later episode where they go back or something.

Did you get any "accidental" pcitures? Was any of the SG:A team there? The only production crew, and movie being filmed that I saw was the Mothman Prophecies.

The Mothman Prophecies is a pretty bad movie.

[SGSlugger]

Yeah I know, but it is kinda interesting because where they shot the city is just outside of where I live (= under 5 mins driving distance.) My uncle is actually in it as an extra, and you can see him pretty clearly. I saw Richard Geer when I was going to the YMCA to teach swimming, although I was in a car.

The Mothman Prophecies is a pretty bad movie.

While watching it, I saw a portal to hell.

Mothman was creepy though. I watched it on my 5.1 system late at night with all the lights off and the sound cranked...a great suspense/horror experiance. Especially since it's based on real events. I thought the movie was actually pretty good, though I am not a big Richard Gere fan.

The bridge scene was pretty cool, but that's about it. They film a few movies in my city, but I've never watched them film.

[SGSlugger]

The best part is the "chapstick" part.

My family laughs at it all the time, because when he dives into the river, it's crystal-clear. The Allegheny, which runs under the bridge, is as dirty as ever.

Not sure weather or not it would have been them. It does seem possible. Just lucky you crossed it

Well the posted notice from Pegasus Productions stating they would setting up from June 9-11 and shooting Stargate: Atlantis Monday June 13 was my first clue, Anubis. From then on it was easy.

Seriously. Why post something whose only purpose is to tick me off?

It's not luck. I've seen SG filiming there 2-3 time a year for the last 4 years. Whenever I walk the dog in good weather I check whether anybody is filming at the site.

So that's the name of their new production company?

I don't think his/her purpose was to offend you. If he/she said that to me, I wouldn't be offended.

SO, how's the weather out your way? It's been raining cats 'n dogs for the last week here.

Peagus Productions sounds kinda corny to me. Where can you get a schedule at for the film shootings?
