Filming Executive producer Simon Kinberg predicted in November 2015 that production on the pilot would start early the next year, and Landgraf revealed in January 2016 that construction on sets had already begun. A month later, filming for the pilot was set to begin in March, in Vancouver, with Dana Gonzales serving as cinematographer. Gonzales had not seen any of the X-Men films, which was seen as an advantage for the series to create its own visual style. A "23,000-square-foot set" for the corridors and "vast day room" of the Clockworks Mental Hospital was constructed in a former supermarket warehouse in Burnaby, just southeast of Vancouver. Exteriors for the building were shot at the University of British Columbia "where they have a lot of that sixties and seventies brutalist architecture" that is often seen in government and institutional buildings. The episode was shot over 21 days, and featured a large amount of in-camera effects rather than just CGI. For instance, Hawley said that one day of filming was "upside-down day, so you're not just setting up a camera with two people talking. We're trying to tell the story with the camera and the visuals ... we're ambitious." For the two sequences where Haller destroys elements of his environment, Hawley particularly wanted to avoid visual effects so that it was believable that the character was actually doing it himself. For the scene where a kitchen explodes around Haller, a "repeatable camera arm, high-speed, high-frame" was used to film the set as kitchen items were exploded from drawers and cabinets for real. The camera, called the Bolt, weighs and runs on a track. It "will do a two-second move, or three-second move, and it shoots about 1,000 frames a second." The set decorator provided doubles and triples of the kitchen elements, which were blown across the room in multiple takes by 30 to 40 air cannons. This
