Meet Yasmin Dar

She is not only the Beat The Traffic reporter on KITV 4 News This Morning but she's also a LOST alumnus and Yasmin Dar shares her experiences on being on our favorite television show in my latest On Location video.

LOST On Location In Downtown

I was driving through downtown on a whim this morning and I found LOST production trucks parked on Bethel Street. This is the same area where Michael tried to commit suicide and also used for some Thailand scenes with Jack.

Here are my pictures of the trucks parked and I got a shot of a crewman pushing some equipment with a film camera on top:

I don't really have time to follow this kind of stuff. But, my friend and LOST podcaster Ryan Ozawa does! Here's his blog from today's stuff, but I warn you it contains SPOILERS and he also shot part of an action scene!

LOST Season 6 On Location!

Now, I'm not the type of LOST fan to go out and stalk the LOST cast and crew and try to get spoilers. Perhaps it was because I was actually allowed to be on the LOST set before and eat their catering, drink their water and eat their snacks. I have tremendous respect for the cast and crew and I'll leave them be while I wait for the episodes. Those who do chase the shooting locations, they do it well and I don't want to overshadow them.

With that said, a couple of photos landed in my lap, courtesy of an anonymous friend.
Last week, the LOST crew were shooting in Waikele on Alelo Street near the 9th hole by the golf course. Obviously, he couldn't get that close but was able to snap these pictures.

They were actually shooting INSIDE my friend's house! His neighbor's things were actually moved out of the house! His neighbor's garage was used as the craft area for painting and making props. The crew also painted the walls of the house to their liking and then painted it back when they were done! The movers were then called on to move everything back in the house. They shot for two days for about 11 hours a day.

Whenever I get these little nuggets of info, I'll post them here!

LOST: On Location - Episode 5

LOST: On Location - Episode 4

This week you get THREE locations from this past week's episode "The Little Prince" plus a BONUS location. Enjoy!

LOST: On Location - Episode 3

I just want to warn you that this week's video is pretty minor considering there wasn't many O'ahu locations in "Jughead."  But, I hope you enjoy it anyway!

LOST: On Location - Episode 2

While I'm gathering my thoughts on Season 5, I decided to do another "On Location" video at two shooting locations that were revealed in the Season 5 premiere episodes "Because You Left" and "The Lie." I hope you enjoy it!

I Made sl-LOST.com!

Hey, my video on LOST shooting locations has made it to the ever-popular sl-LOST.com blog!

It's great to be recognized when someone other than myself thinks my work is worth posting!  It's almost deja vu for me when I posted my "Frozen Donkey Wheel" video on YouTube and Lostpedia and Audibly LOST picked it up earlier this year.

I have to remember to embed my blog URL on the video, though.  Next time, I'll remember!  I'm still very happy!

LOST: On Location - Episode 1

Now that I have a video camera, I can shoot video of all these LOST locations around Honolulu and Oahu. Here's my first bunch in Chinatown and Downtown. I hope you enjoy it! It is made especially for all the peeps at Lostpedia!

Merry Christmas!

Found A LOST Shooting Location From S4

I was doing another one of my long walks when I happened to stumble across an alley near Fort Street Mall that, with one look, was VERY familiar to me. Check it out:

Does it look familiar to you? Well, my first thought was that it looked like the same alley that was used in the scene where Michael tries to commit suicide and Tom (Mr. Friendly) stops him in Season 4's "Meet Kevin Johnson."
Well, with the help of the great people at the Lostpedia Forum, it indeed is EXACTLY the location I was thinking of! Check out how these pictures match up:

Many astute Losties at Lostpedia also believe that this could be the same alley where Charlie saved Nadia from a mugger. So far, I haven't been able to prove that. If anyone can help me with that it would be great appreciated!

UPDATE: Looking at the "Charlie" footage a bit better and a helpful comment from Lost addict Ryan, this alley is NOT the Charlie alley. When I get a chance, I'll check that one out later.
