I drove out to the Wolverine
set in Sydney Olympic Park today to take some photographs of a Japanese village
that was constructed on a parking lot for the shoot. Considering it was a hot day out west
(34-36 Celsius, 93-96 Fahrenheit), it felt surreal staring at snowy rooftops and
icicles.
The construction team did an awesome job putting together
the facades, fake trees, telephone poles and artificial snow. Under certain
angles, the set felt very real. Hugh Jackman wasn’t there as filming for this
particular part of the movie - “the ninja fight” - takes place at night.
The Wolverine shoot in Sydney Olympic Park wraps
tomorrow, so you’ve still got time to take a peek… The location is off Hill
Road, on parking lot 5, just before you reach Holker Street.
The following shots were taken this afternoon. I hope to
have captured the feel of the wintery landscape on some of the pics. Apologies
for the bland ones (movie sets look like nothing viewed from the back)… Cheers,
Luke

The Japanese village from a distance
Snowy rooftops, fake telephone poles and trees
Same but from the side
Close-up of snowy rooftops and icicles
Lighting equipment behind the facades
Looks pretty real, eh?
...especially close-up!
But not from the side. This brings new meaning to "carpet" of snow

Intriguing writing on the windows "♥ Maddy"... Must be Japanese dialect... LOL
