So hard to take seriously with the green screen, lol. It's amazing how actors can do that and still have it look believable when they put everything together :)
omg i didn't realise being an actor was so difficult and boring with that green thing without music and everyone walking around you can't even concentrate
It must be so hard to act hard, powerful action scenes on a green screen. Lana is amazing. One of the few actresses who can make me fall in love with her character yet do so many evil things. Eep!!
So that was actually quite fascinating. I had no idea that some of the CSGI (i think i have that wrong) was done before the filming, so that the could see it on screen and also see it on the green screen. The actors have to have great imaginations in order to be able to see and feel their surroundings when using a green screen, so they can interact with the environment that their audience will see. And kudos to the boom guys!
That CGI shown on the screen there is just a preview, to give the director etc an idea of what the final will look like - none of that makes it to the final shot - hence how shaky & dodgy the green screen effect is.
I love this show! It brings back all the classic fairy tales, but turning them into something new. The actors and actresses have such remarkable talents! It is amazing watching as they make these characters their own! Well done!!
Thank you Lana for sharing these clips. They make us more aware of the hard work you all have/had in making the show a success. Everyone from the grips and the actors to the film editors and directors put a lot of hard work in this tv show. Good job on an interesting show.
The original scene with the Evil Queen and Maleficent was so different! I wish they could have kept more of the battle though. I loved seeing them fight!
WOW! It is so awesome to see Lana's work with only a green screen - it makes you see just how detailed she has to be and give 110% every moment. I also love Ginnifer and Jennifer they make their characters so REAL. Rumpel is absolutely magnificent-it's like Robert is the alter ego and Rumple is the real person.Charming is THE PERFECT PRINCE! This is my all time second favorite show ever (Charmed is my first love) - I hope it lasts for at least 10 seasons, I can't ever, EVER imagine it ending!
i really love the show..the casts are perfect and the story in each episodes are great...i only missed 3 episodes in season 1 even how tight my schedule is..Lana, Ginnifer, josh, robert are really the perfect line up for the roles...
I think they learn to ignore the cameras and just imagine they are really inside that world. What a fucking amazing job!!! :D YOU ALL ARE AWESOME, PEOPLE!
Thank you for sharing this Lana. It is interesting to see the bare bones of the witch fight and how much work goes into the filming and editing of this wonderful show.
I love this show SO MUCH, it takes me back to a time when I was a little girl and it was still ok to believe in magic and princesses. Before life happened and I got all bitter and jaded. I LOVE this show.
This is awesome, thanks for uploading! I've done a few projects on green screen before but nothing on this scale. It is very different though, there's a lot less objects to become distracted by and it becomes more about who you're working with at the moment and it makes shooting the scene a whole lot more intense and intimate.
How do you act with just a green screen? I couldn't do it. It looks so great when it's finished though, you can't even tell it wasn't filmed on a set. All the actresses/actors on this show do an amazing job.
I havn't seen the whole season 1 one of recess supervisors was talking to me bout the show but when I actually watched it I found out that I watched the season finale just finally finished watching season 1 gonna rewatch the episodes from season 2 up til the next episode on Jan 6th ........I say I think I'm addicted to this show now.......it's awesome *_*
Agreed! At first I was like "it's kinda awkward to just watch her act" & there's not really sound/music, just her voice & the fans. Props to her for really imagining it all.
+HeartsLocket23 - They do, many of them. I know Lana and Bex do. I don't really follow the other actors. But I know Lana and Bex have posted things about seeing the episodes. (Lana once live tweeted during the episodes with the fans) :)
lol. I just find it funny that they don't have a set for the castle. But, they do have one for the apartment. I guess the latter is just easier to build?
Addicted to ths, watched the whole season in just two days!!! Now i have withdrawal symptoms, awaiting for the second season to reach my country. And where in the fairytale world can they manage to cast such handsome/pretty casts? Dang, this is EPIC!
I agree with you! I've wanted to act in something like this too for the longest times. Oh well, some dreams don't come true but I'm so happy the series is here for me to watch. :)
Although it would be amazing having real life castle sets, I like the green screens as they add more magic to the series. I am blown away every episode by the amazing graphics and scenery they dream up. Truly surreal and enchanting :D
the funny thing is is that in the final cut of the episode, the evil queen doesnt do anything with the staff except break the glass orb to get the curse
For all that is intersted: the series is only in its first pilot season. This is why all the scnes are filmed in front of a green screen. Say if the show kept its ratings up to make it to a second or third season, and ratings were still going very strong, the set directors/ creators would most likely build an actual set for the castles. Since it is the pilot season, the show is on a tight budget, which is also why there is just green screens. I have been getting a bunch of questions about this,
I've worked with a green screen once before. It is probably the hardest acting to do. You basically have to use your imagination and rely on the director calling out what is around you and then you just use your imagination and run with it. My director use to tell me "Pretend you're a little girl playing make believe. Find that point in your life when you were able to visualize what's behind you without it actually being there." I took his advice but it's still very hard to do.
@dynosus13 one is the adress who plays Malificent, the other is her stunt double. For insurance reasons a stunt double was needed to do the more action packed scenes.
Yay! If they did build castle sets, I. Would. Die! They're so beautiful that even though they're obviously CGI, I actually believe they're real places!
@Kay2be2M I agree it is just like that. As kids we could be in the bathtub and yet we were a pirate getting ready to take over and island or another ship and in my case I always got in trouble for splashing all the water on the floor because I imagined mine were big nuclear like bombs :)
watching this really takes away from the show. I don't think I'll watch any more like this. It all comes together so well in then end that it's hard to believe so much is done like this. It seems like it would be boring and even take away from the acting experience... to know that something look so much more exciting and fun on TV than when you're filming it. I know having so much done by computers and the sort give it an incredible finished product for the viewers, and save mega $$ (that is use a green stage rather than put too much time and money into undeniably grandiose sets)...... but it must take away from the experience for the actors?
No, part of being an actor is imagining yourself as the character in the setting of the story. Lana is being Regina in maleficent's castle, throwing fireballs. You need to be the character to enjoy and be good at it.
can we just appreciate the guys who hold up the microfones all the time
I always admire the guys who hold the boom sticks. Their biceps must be super strong. Not to mention the steady-cam harness guy. That shit's heavy.
+Cathy Cat I do that for a living. And now I'm ripped XD Thanks for the appreciation
microphones*
Ofc
@@SkintSNIPER262 THAT IS SO COOLL
Regina's attitude is goals.
Amazing acting! I would've laughed the whole time during the "fight" scene with "floating" weapons
So hard to take seriously with the green screen, lol. It's amazing how actors can do that and still have it look believable when they put everything together :)
Supreme Overlorde Lana Parrilla ey
ikr
The most unbelivable is the green screen haha
omg i didn't realise being an actor was so difficult and boring with that green thing without music and everyone walking around you can't even concentrate
Yeap it just hit me that the music is put on after they've filmed you!
It must be so hard to act hard, powerful action scenes on a green screen. Lana is amazing. One of the few actresses who can make me fall in love with her character yet do so many evil things. Eep!!
I knew that unicorns exist! :D
But that one is just so cute, I am always like: can I adopt it? :3
When Charming said "What the hell is this?"@3:50 I thought he was talking about the microphone coming in for a second LOL xD
Interesting to see how it's all filmed
So that was actually quite fascinating. I had no idea that some of the CSGI (i think i have that wrong) was done before the filming, so that the could see it on screen and also see it on the green screen.

its so hard to act omg 😨😨 u never know when u actually watch it but when its like this .... its really hard
I love this show! It brings back all the classic fairy tales, but turning them into something new. The actors and actresses have such remarkable talents! It is amazing watching as they make these characters their own! Well done!!
It is cool to see the magic at work :D
Thank you Lana for sharing these clips. They make us more aware of the hard work you all have/had in making the show a success. Everyone from the grips and the actors to the film editors and directors put a lot of hard work in this tv show. Good job on an interesting show.
Those leather pants tho...
Ikt
I mean ikr
love is weakness, maleficent
I THoUghT yoU KneW tHaT
This is so crazy! I really admire all the actors and actresses, their job is seriously underrated.
I envy them how they can memorise..!!
The original scene with the Evil Queen and Maleficent was so different! I wish they could have kept more of the battle though. I loved seeing them fight!

This was so cool to watch. I have just finished rewatching the whole series.
Thank you for sharing this Lana. It is interesting to see the bare bones of the witch fight and how much work goes into the filming and editing of this wonderful show.
The way they say Rumpelstilzchen is just the cutest thing 😂 When I first watched this show, I had to replay it, to understand what they said❤️
Love Josh's look at the end. I can hear myself swooning
I love this show SO MUCH, it takes me back to a time when I was a little girl and it was still ok to believe in magic and princesses. Before life happened and I got all bitter and jaded. I LOVE this show.
Laughing during the whole time😂 this is why I can’t be an actor lol
love is not weakness, its strength. just listen to clexa lol
Aww the mini unicorn!
This is awesome, thanks for uploading! I've done a few projects on green screen before but nothing on this scale.

all of the cast has amazing talent! best tv series ive ever watched!
Once upon a time is my favourite show just now can't wait for season 2 to come out in the uk !!!! Love love love your show

show neede more seasons 😩ill keep rewatching though😇
Even though these aren’t bloopers they are still hilarious
Now that is talent- I would never have guessed how this was filmed watching the second episode.
Agreed! At first I was like "it's kinda awkward to just watch her act" & there's not really sound/music, just her voice & the fans. Props to her for really imagining it all.
I wonder if they ever watch the show (they meaning the actors)
+HeartsLocket23 - They do, many of them. I know Lana and Bex do. I don't really follow the other actors. But I know Lana and Bex have posted things about seeing the episodes. (Lana once live tweeted during the episodes with the fans) :)
It's all the more incredible when you see what everyone was able to create while working in front of a green screen.
lol. I just find it funny that they don't have a set for the castle. But, they do have one for the apartment. I guess the latter is just easier to build?
Yep. Fixed budgets and things will do that.
lol. Should have figured...
They cant bring out a whole place with 10million castles:D
Well said, last one xD
It looks so weird without the effects and background xD
beautiful.this is the world I dream to be in.hands down to the crew.great job!!
I always wondered what the green room was like. It's really interesting to see... It's cool how much imagination the actors have to have
I love the show I watch it all the time
Addicted to ths, watched the whole season in just two days!!! Now i have withdrawal symptoms, awaiting for the second season to reach my country. And where in the fairytale world can they manage to cast such handsome/pretty casts? Dang, this is EPIC!
She is sooo in the zone...fantastic acting.
AMAZING!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOO MUCH!!!! -3
Aw the little unicorn 🥰😫
They can really make miracles with the new technology and my respect to the actors because it must be very hard to work like that.
This is so amazing!!! :D
That pony is really chilled!
Just so funny that Lana is doing “a fire ball” but we don’t see it
Haha like the ending. Josh's face was like "Were the hell are you going?"
@Laura Schlutt Thank you, we do have an amazing crew. Without the hard work they put in everyday, this show would not be what it is today.
I loveeeeeeeeeee Lana Parrilla... She's too gorgeous!!!! Love her act!!!!!! Can't stop watchin her!!!!
my favorite show
Props to the actors, you have to admit majority of the time - you're just surrounded by green! Love this show so much!!!
I am glad the show survived because it turns out to be one of the amazing fairytale/drama/action series.
What I want to know is how they put the unicorn horn on :D I wanna do that
Glue.
@@Vousie Belt.
i loved the fight scene with the witches. im glad i got to see how it was done.
I would love to work with the film crew on that show. Everything looks really amazing behind the scenes. Maybe someday.
Yeah! great acting as well! This made me to love the show more.
I agree with you! I've wanted to act in something like this too for the longest times. Oh well, some dreams don't come true but I'm so happy the series is here for me to watch. :)
It is amazing how actors can play all only seeing green room!
that's why i'm dying to see the bloopers :D
The horse actor
Although it would be amazing having real life castle sets, I like the green screens as they add more magic to the series. I am blown away every episode by the amazing graphics and scenery they dream up. Truly surreal and enchanting :D
I think this is great.I love this show.I hope it gets great ratings and so we can get alot more to come. Good luck guys,,you rock.

Lana, you MAKE Regina AWESOME!! One of my favourite characters, the other being Snow!! Such an awesome dynamic with you two!
I love this ❤
the funny thing is is that in the final cut of the episode, the evil queen doesnt do anything with the staff except break the glass orb to get the curse
great Lana
Keep on rockin' as the Evil Queen, Lana! You're awesome!
Actually you can if you have special equipment. In this show crew used system called Prevision. You can see how it works in the clip.
Funny, this has a scene from episode 8, which aired 2 months after this was uploaded
LANA I LOVE YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH YOURE AMAZING I LOVE YOU YOURE BEAUTIFUL AND PRETTY AND THE BEST ACTOR EVER I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING

wow... just WOW
At the beginning you just see people start walkin out of the walls you're like WHOA OK
It's so different then when I watch it on Netflix, It feels like it is real😂
@dynosus13 one is the adress who plays Malificent, the other is her stunt double. For insurance reasons a stunt double was needed to do the more action packed scenes.
Yay! If they did build castle sets, I. Would. Die! They're so beautiful that even though they're obviously CGI, I actually believe they're real places!
Lol, it would feel so weird doing this. I'm shooting nothing! Lol, love this show more than life I itself...i'm once upon addicted...

Unicorn out
I am laughing so hard I am crying. I loev lana so much

Ugh, I just love Robert!
How did you get this!!
@Kay2be2M I agree it is just like that. As kids we could be in the bathtub and yet we were a pirate getting ready to take over and island or another ship and in my case I always got in trouble for splashing all the water on the floor because I imagined mine were big nuclear like bombs :)
