Forks Police Station Filming

After work yesterday I went to the Eclipse filming yesterday. They were filming scenes at Charlie’s Police Station.

This is the most open a set has ever been – and probably will be- for Eclipse. Luckily you were able to take pictures, and if you had a good enough camera, you could catch RPattz and Kristen – and Charlie!  Mine are ok, but I don’t have any fancy lenses for my camera (yet) so mine are not as clear as the ones that are available from PUNK’d or Splash.
I’ve included a picture that hasn’t been cropped in to see the actors to demonstrate just how far away you were, and how good of a camera you really need for those clear photos.

The first 4 are from when Charlie, Bella and Edward are having a discussion and Edward walks away.  Like I said, not the best photos, but it was fun just being able to see the filming occur. They did maybe 5 or 6 takes of that scene.

After that scene, they started moving all the equipment around and put up the big black screens again. At this time they were resetting for another scene. There was a large truck that wet down the side street and crew were moving all the cars around on the side street with Washington plates.
We spotted Edwards new Volvo on the side street (I have nothing against the new one, I actually like it better than the first one, but that’s just my opinion). Then, Rob and Kristen were in the new Volvo and this was going to be a scene of Edward driving into the police station. (Yes, Robert drove, and yes, it was funny watching him try to reverse drive lol, it didn’t look like he was all that comfortable). They did this scene about 5 or 6 times as well. Basically, Edward doesn’t look very happy driving to the station and Bella is just in the passenger seat.

After this scene it was a wrap, and off we went!

Again, very cool to see the actors playing their characters and see a scene being made.

Enjoy the pictures!
