From Tvheaven.com Buffy The Vampire SlayerBuffy Location Shoot ReportBy Faith_Forever Tuesday 28 January 2003, by Webmaster Today they were filming a daytime location shoot at the house in Torrance used as the Summers’ residence. All of the filming took place in the backyard, so you couldn’t see or hear much of what was going on.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, DB Woodside were there, along with all of the main Potentials (Iyari Limon, Indigo, Lalaine, Clara Bryant, Felicia Day, Sarah Hagan, and the actress playing new SIT Chao-Ahn) and about 10 extras playing Potentials. SMG was wearing a jean shirt (or jacket) and a long, black skirt. Aly had on a long-sleeved orange print shirt and reddish jeans. D.B. had on a very sharp looking suit. All of the Potentials were wearing workout type clothing. In the backyard, there were some archery targets set up on bails of hay. There was also a large assortment of weapons (swords, crossbows, maces). Most of the time SMG, Aly & DB were in the back filming. The Potentials were all waiting to film in the front yard. (Oddly enough, a lot of them were passing the time waiting by knitting). The final scene filmed was with all of the Potentials. It seemed like Kennedy was leading a martial arts type class. All of the Potentials were lined up in several rows. It sounded like Iyari shouting out instructions as they went through a series of blocks, punches, strikes, ect. Lalaine (who plays Chloe) mentioned that they had her doing about 50 pushups. Only two of the Potentials extras were needed to film in the studio tomorrow. The other extras weren’t sure how long they would be on the show for. During lunch, a group of the extra playing Potentials were playing football in the street with some crew members and fans, and showed off some real athletic talent. All of the actresses playing the Potentials were incredibly nice and a little awestruck at the fairly large group of onlookers wanting autographs. Alyson Hannigan also came over to sign autographs and to pose for pictures with fans. BTW, Iyari mentioned to some fans as she left that she actually had with her the script for Episode 17. (And her name is pronouced ee-yah-dee, yup- that’s a "d".) |
