The first weekend of filming "When we bought the house, it was a dark brown stain with white trim," said Jane. For the night time scenes required, the house was painted a light taupe, which appeared darker at night under the floodlights. It was a shade the Harpers preferred for their house over an offer to have new siding installed and stained dark brown. They opted instead for a second paint job, in the presentâ€"day darker taupe. The white trim remained. Because of specified production requirements, a few changes were made. The most noticeable of these is the color of the house. ed with 60,000 little white Christmas lights (which were left with the Harpers and remain installed), and potato flakes created the effect of softly falling snow.

Paul came armed with a camera to capture much of the actual production on film, and Jane brought her delicious chocolate chip cookies. Everybody raved about them when they signed her guest book. And, as an added bonus, "my best friend lives across the street from the house on Chisholm Street that was used in the movie, so we could see part of that production as well," said Jane, who works one day a week at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial in May was to create some day time fall scenes, and the crews returned for the first week in June for their major night time footage.

No filming was done inside of the Harper home, however, the stars and crew did make themselves at home. All of the interior footage was taken at a Toronto house. "They needed larger rooms and longer hallways, for longer shots," explained Paul. "They made the hallways match ours, and our front door was changed to match the one at the house in Toronto." "Paul put a TV set in the garage so the production people could watch the hockey playoffs!" added Jane. "They took over our garage for a month. They used it for their sound equipment, props, and their cafeteâ€" ria," said Paul. Between 100 to 150 film crew members were on their lawn at any given time during the filming. Four overhead cranes were used â€" one of the crew members took aerial photos of the house as it appeared in the movie. "The first weekend (of night filming) we stayed at the house till 3 a.m.," said Jane. "They literally worked through the night, from 6 p.m. to sunrise. It was really a lot of fun for us, and extremely exciting for us to see our house used for a movie, and they (the production people) were very nice to us."

"We just love it!" concluded Jane. In return for the extensive filmâ€" ing done here for ‘The Santa Clause,‘ the film credits include a special thank you to Mayor Ann Mulvale and the Town of Oakville. Another local lad, David Mulvale (the mayor‘s son) got involved as a location assistant. At the end of it all, the producâ€" tion people, including director John Pasquin (original ‘Home Improvement‘ director), hosted a barbecue for the neighborhood at St. Stephen‘s the Martyr Polish Catholic Church.

"Of the four trees that were cut down, two of them were ours which we didn‘t want replaced, and the other two were on Town property," said Paul "We‘re still waiting for the Town to plant two new trees." "Somebody was here everyday to do something," said Paul, adding four trees were cut down, flowers were removed, two evergreens were added, a new stone path was built on an angle across the lawn, and the house was painted. Afterwards, the landscaping was replaced. Altogether, 16 houses were involved, the others to a much lessâ€" er degree, for scenery only. Production people arrived about a month in advance for their extenâ€" sive preparations. "A tremendous amount of money has been spent here for this movie," Paul noted. ‘The Santa Clause‘ made close to $20 million on its opening week end of Nov. 11th â€"the opening included the current Oakville show ing at the Oakville Towne Centre Cinemas â€" and is said to have cost about $15 million to produce. "My one and only regret is that we were unable to get one of these balls," said Jane. "They cost $3,00( each to make," added Paul, "and 1( of them were made."
