where is the principal photography of once upon a time filmed?
vancouver, british columbia
principal photography for the pilot took place in los angeles, though subsequent episodes of the series are filmed in vancouver, british columbia to save money. the bridge sequences were shot at lake piru, near a "war of the worlds" filming location, and the library and phone booth scenes were filmed at an elementary school. triplet babies portrayed sam in the episode's teaser, and production found it difficult to get them to cry on cue. though a real house served as the first-story level in the teaser, the upstairs was constructed on a sound stage because of the special effects required for mary's fiery death. script rewrites for the opening sequence—a better introduction for sam was needed—required reshoots on the set of "the o.c." two months after principal photography.
