Possible Location Shoot

Your IP Is Showing

Note: As part of this update, there are several episode titles listed. As usual, I've been getting a lot of email on the topic. Mainly because people are considering IMDB.com and TVTome to be reliable sources. They are not, especially when it comes to actor and title information. This is why I'm dismissing both 'Pipe Dream' and 'Unlock The Power' as episode titles. Especially since BOTH were floated as 'episode titles' for any number of episodes from 14 and on. These aren't even original in terms of false spoilage. Trust me, if there was any truth to the reports of the final episode arcs and cast, I'd definitely be reporting it here.

A couple of interesting reports of a possible location shoot at the Bronze have appeared. Though when I look a bit closer, I think this is just a single report that has been embellished a bit by another poster.

The first shoot report information had been posted very early this morning at SMGFan.com, by someone going by the screenname 'Actor'.

Well, I finally got the chance to work on the show! Heard the episode title was "Empty Spaces." Think it's 19 or 20, cuz the crew was sayin "3 more episodes." Anyways, we filmed a couple scenes in The Bronze. Basically, Faith takes Dawn and the potentials to The Bronze for some fun. Cops bust in and arrest her for some reason. They haul her out as the potentials follow, and apparently at one point, one of the cops shoots a chandelier down and we all react with fear, hehe. The potentials go out and fight the cops. Unfortunately, Buffy wasn't in the scenes, so I didn't get to see Sarah But I did get to see Faith (so beautiful), Dawn, Kennedy, Rona, Amanda, and Chao-Ahn (funny to hear her speak perfect English in person when her character doesn't, hehe)

Eliza Dushku introduced herself to everyone and shook their hands. She was really cool. The actresses who play the potentials were hangin out the whole time and talkin with people. They seemed pretty close-knit and friendly. I was disappointed because Eliza was dancing with like 4 guys at once, and I wasn't one of them Ah well, maybe next ti8me

Well, I dunno. Sometimes when I work on shows, I don't think I'll be seen, but then I am. And vice versa. I know that in one scene, Amanda's sittin down with a drink, bein dorky, telling Faith how cool The Bronze is and how Buffy would never take them there. Me and a couple of girls walk past Amanda and she tries to tell us how cool Faith is but we just ignore her and walk right past her. The camera only sees our backs, though. Then Faith asks Amanda her age and when Amanda tells her she's only 17, Faith takes her drink away and says "We need to get you a 7-up."

When the chandelier falls, the camera was near our little dancing group so ya may see us backing away in horror, LOL. It all depends on the editing.

Ooh, forgot to mention: the band that was playing was Nerf Herder (the one who wrote the Buffy theme song). They were pretty good.

This source I find credible, even though I have no independent confirmation of this info. It fits what we usually get from a shoot report. Lots of little details, but only encompassing a few brief scenes.

Later, another shoot report appeared at the Cross and Stake, but started off as a list of the final episode titles. This was the report that appeared at the Cross and Stake.

The episode I was an extra in was episode 19 Empty Spaces where Faith brings the potentials and Dawn to the Bronze. I was a dancer at the bronze. The cops break in and arrest Faith. Dawn and the potentials fight the police. One of the crew memebers told me the episode titles for the rest of the season.

I'll tell you a few things. The cops shoot a chandelier down in the Bronze and the extras had to scream and act suprised. I got to dance next to Eliza Dusku and I got her autograph. I talked to Michelle Trachtenberg and we had a mini Buffy trivia contest while the crew was setting up a shot. That's all I can say for now got to go to class. Bye

Couple of things bother me about this report. First, Episode Titles NEVER, NEVER, NEVER come out in batches. The most we have ever gotten at one time, maximum, is two. So any report that lays out four episode titles in one swoop make me really suspicious

Second, the poster's IP indicates that they're connecting from State University of New York, quite a road trip to appear as an extra on the show. They also later posted that these could be 'working titles', which is another myth. Titles do change, but there is no such thing as a working title, or at least I've never come across one yet.

Personally, I think the first poster posted the episode titles, then tried to increase the credibility of the titles by including shoot report information. I certainly know if I had location shoot information, I would have posted that first, then the episode titles as an afterthought.

So the shoot report I feel is good, the episode titles are way iffy (with the exception of the ones I've already added or ranked, though I think 'Empty Spaces' is very likely).
