I Love UBC #675829

How often do you see filming taking place on campus?

Quite often.


Sandbags -- props..


Fake tank in front of Buchanan Tower

Another fake tank


Even "towers" for spotlights I think..


A tractor for spreading fake "soil" onto the ground..


Random person taking photo with the tank


I wonder if those cylinders will blow up!!


Wow blowing up Buchanan Tower eh?


Yet another tank!


People getting to and fro class through the props


You don't see this on campus a whole lot, do you?


The whole set up against Buchanan Tower. Notice the red "soil" on the ground..

Sigh, when X-Men 4 is coming out next YEAR! I have never seen an X-men movie in my life, but this will be interesting to watch.

That's why they had cables running up the whole Buchanan Tower.

Come to think of it, the waffle building DOES look like a prison. Or maybe it is! :P I thought it was supposed to be the barracks or something, with all the tanks hanging around..

*FYI: Buchanan Tower is where all the Faculty of Arts professors have their offices.. It's the rectangular building with the little squares on it..
