It is a hot, hazy and humid day in suburban Toronto, and the cast and crew of Warehouse 13 are on-location at a two-story apartment complex working on the upcoming third season episode Shadows. In one of the scenes being shot this afternoon, two of our heroes have arrived at the block of flats to check out a mysterious disappearance. Not too far away at what is nicknamed “The Circus,” a small group of people, among them series executive producer/show runner Jack Kenny, are sitting under a large black tarp and watching a trio of monitors as the scene unfolds in front of the camera. Despite today’s warm and sticky conditions, this episode has, in fact, been a bit of a respite filming-wise for the show’s cast and crew.
“This is an easy one,” notes Kenny, during a break in filming. “I mean, it’s shockingly easy, including the special effects {SFX], which are relatively straightforward, so we’ll be able to shoot this episode in eight days for a change.
“If you include the third season premiere, we’ve had four ‘killer’ episodes so far this year. The premiere is always a killer, though, because we fit a ton into it and everyone is getting back on their feet and so forth. There’s a story this season that takes place in three time periods – the 1890s, the 60s and the current day. That was tough just from a production standpoint. We did another episode where Pete and Claudia get pulled into a video game and that kept us really busy. We also did an episode – it’s sort of our Die Hard one – where all this stuff is going on inside a building, and there’s a big chase, too. That was another very challenging story to shoot..."
Warehouse 13 premieres on a new night, Monday, July 11 at 9/8C on Syfy.
