VancityAllie captured some great pictures of the elaborate setup for a portion of the Bella cliff dive sequence in New Moon which will likely be composited with with the beach scenes shot in Tofino. Allie has this info to share–

This set is where they are filming the special effects green screen scene of Bella’s Cliff Dive in La Push in New Moon. Kristen Stewart, Rachelle Lefevre, Taylor Lautner, and Rob Pattison were all filming at the secret outdoor pool location today (just for the one day).

In this scene, Bella jumps off the cliff, a flash of Victoria is seen in the background, and Bella plunges into the ocean and sees Edward’s “face” underwater. She is then rescued by Jacob.

The crew had set up a complex special effects scene at the public outdoor pool with a number of layered green screens set up high above the pool. They also used a number of cranes and rigs to help block out the direct sunlight (it was bright and hot today).

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. That’s the lesson the Nashville- and Mississippi-based Twilight hunters Sara and Leanne have proven after meeting not only Kellan Lutz, but also the holy grail of New Moon hotness–Robert Pattinson himself.

Autry and Bennett came to Vancouver using tickets that Leanne’s husband Chad won in a golf tournament. He gave up a planned anniversary trip to California to allow his young wife a chance to track and find Pattinson and the rest of the New Moon cast.

“He was super nice,” Autry said. “I still feel like I am going to wake up from a dream.”

After scoring pix with Pattinson, Danielov declared, “I can die now … peace at last.”

“She’s a great wife and she doesn’t ask for much so I wanted to do this for her,” said Chad Autry, who first contacted The Sun to get vampire hunting tips for Leanne.

Emma Watson, who starred alongside Robert Pattinson as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, knew from the start that he’d be a huge success–

“Obviously, I know Rob,” she explained. “I’m just gob-smacked by the level of excitement and hype around ‘Twilight.’ I’m very happy for Rob that it’s been so successful.”

And although RPattz likes to play up his shock and confusion over all those shrieking, Sharpie-waving fans, Emma insisted that she knew all along that he’d someday become like the Beatles all rolled into one. “Of course I did; he is incredibly handsome!” she grinned. “He is a very, very handsome man, so I’m not too surprised.”
