My #Fringe set story :)

Just so some of you know, there are going to be two parts to my stories. This one is just to the point, very condensed and all  based on  what's actually going on in the show at this point and time. So this is my warning, it will be a SPOILER! If you don't like spoilers, do not continue!!!!!!!!!!!! My other one, (which should be posted some time this later afternoon, after I'm out of school) will have every single detail about every blink, breath, and step Anna, Josh, and John took. In case any of you are interested in that ;D

When I arrived, they were filming in some sort of electronic store, and this was the closest I was allowed to be to it... on the opposite side of the street, LOL! http://t.co/6ufrxmx4
Not too long after, they put up some screens. Which I have come to a few conclusions on. A.) They don't want anyone on the opposite side of the street getting in the shots :P B.) They're trying to make it look like daylight. C.) They need already enclosed space for what they're trying to film. And D.) All of the above. xD
Here's the pic of after they put up the screens. Sorry it's really bright, they had a massive spotlight thing turned on over there!

Anyways, John was the first I met on the set, SUPER chatty guy and super friendly. I asked him if he was allowed to tell us what was going on, and he had to think about it, and then proceeded. Hehe. He told us that they were in some town (obviously). But it wasn't Boston, (couldn't tell us where though) and there had been a "natural disaster of some sort, but obviously I can't tell you the details, or I'll give away the entire plot!" John mentions that multiple civilians have already been killed and that him and the others (I'm assuming he means Josh, Anna, and himself because they had all been rehearsing in this building together) have taken cover in a nearby electronic shop. I did get to meet the three of them, and I was really nervous so I didn't end up speaking with Anna or Josh about filming, and it had already been a really long day for them (14 friggin' hours!) so I didn't want to keep them too long with my ten million questions. However, before and after speaking with John they were rehearsing and then the began to film.
Now, during both rehearsals and filming there was a loud fan turned on and if you return to the 2nd picture (the bright one), right above the screen you could see debris flying everywhere. Newspapers, leaves, garbage, etc. To which I run down the road to try and catch it from another angle, & I am some what successful in doing. There's a big window that smashes, and Walter yelling something along the line of "WE'LL BE SAFE!". There wasn't much else that happened that you could actually SEE. For the amount of time they were in there though, I imagine I'm on good enough standing to say there was dialogue in there as well, not just yelling and weird weather. About 45 minutes - 1 hour after watching them do it a few times I am told by a crew member that they're wrapping up soon and they're going around the corner to shoot something at a telephone booth. I walk around the corner because coincidentally in actually parked over there. There wasn't much to see because again, a lot of screens and bright lights, so I left :P
Real quick side note though! Josh was wearing a peacoat and  my friend (@_overthere) pointed out that he only wear's that in the blue-verse. He also had a stunt double. I'm willing to bet Peter does something crazy ;D & My friend's thinking he's returned home. Let me know what you guys think :)
