The massive 5 episode, 6 TV show Arrowverse cross over Crisis On Infinite Earths has begun filming in Vancouver.

On this 2 day shoot, Supergirl was shooting a variety of scenes in downtown Vancouver, at a location that has been frequently used by Arrow over the years.

On set for day 1
- Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen/ The Green Arrow
- Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/ The Flash
- Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers/ Supergirl
- Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/ Superman
- Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer / The ATOM
- Ruby Rose as Kate Kane/ Batwoman
- Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak
- LaMonica Garrett as either The Monitor or Anti-Monitor.

Much of the filming was up on the roof of 1 of the buildings at the Plaza Of Nations. This is a roof top that Arrow has used so many times, I've lost count. (Including the season 8 premiere, which was on the same night these scenes were being filmed). It was new however to see it in use during the daytime.

Throughout the morning & early afternoon the cast, and the stunt doubles did a variety of large explosion type scenes. For a while I walked around trying to find a decent spot to film, but as you can see from the photos below, rarely was I able to find a spot where I could even see much more than the top of their heads most of the time.

As the day pushed on, I moved from trying to find a place to shoot to the actual part of my job that justifies me doing any of this, getting autographs. So I stood near the exit and watched as cast member after cast member left through the afternoon. One I saw leave that I never saw up on the roof was LaMonica Garrett. He was decked out with his Monitor hair do (now that I've seen a photo of the Anti-Monitor, its easy to know which is which). As I waited around there, I got Brandon Routh and Stephen Amell to sign, which was bittersweet in both instances, as it COULD be the last time I get either of them, depending on how things shake out for both actors & their filming schedules in these final days of the cross over & their respective shows, as both will be leaving soon.

After lunch, I didnt see much happening, and it was clear that they were going to be filming inside the abandoned Edgewater Casino, so I left for a couple hours for my own lunch break. As anyone with Stephen Amell on social media knows, a photo with all the cast that were there (minus LaMonica) was taken that evening with his daughter Mavi. While I did see some of the cast leave, I managed to not actually see them all leave. After the wrapped a few of the cast, I headed home, knowing full well I'd have to do this again the next day potentially.

On the second day, all the same cast as the first day were there shooting, except LaMonica Garrett.

This time, the day started off with the cast filming in the remnants of the old Plaza Of Nations amphitheatre, which now is just an empty pit.

The scenes they shot seemed to have the cast all showing up to a spot amongst the rubble, as the Green Arrow and Mia Smoak are the last two to arrive, the group has a small chat, before the Supes fly off, and a group of 4 including Batwoman, The Green Arrow, The ATOM & Mia walk off past a burning car.

An odd occurance happened while this scene was being shot. Just randomly, after a few takes, the crew started all holding up umbrellas angled in a way to try and prevent me from seeing what was going on. This isnt a NEW tactic. But it is new for Supergirl.... and, as I pointed out to multiple staff that day, one that never works. All it does is annoy people at set doing what I do. It doesnt stop us. Just annoys.  We still get our shots, we just have to try a bit more. They wated the resources of EIGHT crew members on this fruitless tactic, instead of them doing their actual jobs. I am sure WB and The CW would be thrilled to know multiple hours of crew time were spent unsuccessfully trying to block 1 person from getting photos. There are certain things I am sure in all types of work/hobbies that newcomers just dont understand how its a thing.... and I am sure this has to be 1 for newcomers to this. Its never succeeded on a single thing I've been at. All it does is frustrate people like me, which then makes us try a bit harder, and thus, be an inconvenience back. Whether on that day, or down the road.

Eventually, the cast & crew moved back inside Edgewater to continue on shooting stuff from the scenes from the day prior. I called it a day at that time, and headed home.

UPDATE: OCTOBER 26, 2019 - Video from the shoot has been added at the bottom of this post.

One last thing, A few photos from the set can be found on DailyMail of Ruby Rose and Grant Gustin goofing off between scenes HERE

The massive 5 episode, 6 TV show Arrowverse cross over Crisis On Infinite Earths has begun filming in Vancouver.

Yesterday, they were shooting a DC's Legends Of Tomorrow portion of the cross over at couple of businesses & at Victory Square in downtown Vancouver.

In the early part of the day, they were shooting in a business known as "The Paper Hound" which is a small independent bookstore. I did not get to see what the scene entailed from the inside, but I know Dominic Purcell was around for it, and they did a scene that had people running on the outside of the building.

After that scene, they moved a couple doors down to a frequently used location by the film industry, The Permanent. It has been a reception hall for the Oliver & Felicity congratulations party after they piggyback married during Crisis On Earth X, its been a bank for The Flash, and likely many other things I cant recall right now.

On this day, I dont know what it was supposed to be standing in for, but there seemed to be 3 notable people in the scene. Grant Gustin was there as The Flash, Caity Lotz was there as White Canary, and an unknown man was there dressed in a suit, with a red cape. Maybe a magician? Whatever was going on, it seemed to end with White Canary punching out the mystery man. After they wrapped, I actually saw that there were two mystery men, not sure if 1 was a stunt double for the other, or if there was 2 of these characters in the scene.

After that, the crew went to lunch & prepped the area down the street for their night time exterior scene at Victory Square

After the lunch break, the crew and cast arrived at Victory Square to shoot a night scene. The Flash fans know Victory Square very well, as it is where we watched Savitar kill Iris over, and over, and over again, ending with the unfortunate death of H.R. instead in a ruse perpetrated by the team. To make it more of a call back to that location, the scene they shot was right in the spot that the death happened.

In the night scene, we had Grant as Barry Allen and Caity as Sara Lance sitting on the stairs talking. It was clear that it was one of those "we've been through some stuff, and it might get tougher" talks. I dont know who was needing the talk more, but they both had on their solemn faces at times. With this being in the Legends episode of the cross over, which is the final part of it, could they be talking about something specific that happened during Crisis? Someone they lost? Someone they both have a strong connection to? Or, is it just a "we need to figure out how to win this, it seems so hard" talk?

As their conversation was winding down (it really was a loooooooong talking scene) something startles the two super heroes, and they turn around and attack whatever it is.... but soon they settle down, and start talking to the mystery person. The ONLY part of the conversation I could make out was Sara saying "yeah John, you're a little late, already happened". What was John late for? Better question really is, which John? Constantine? Diggle? Jonnz? Travolta? The sides being read out by the other character were done by a crew member as the actor in that spot was not actually there, and the actors on set needed verbal cues to let them know when to deliver their lines.

As you will see in the 1 shot, there was a large massive lighting balloon in the air that was coloured light blue. I joked at the time to those on the set that it was going to be Beebo. But really, it is just there to light the scene a specific way.... but will the blue lighting tone they were going for mean something specific? Why would they not just go with the natural tone of the area?

After the pair did their scenes, Grant wrapped for the night, and they did a quick 5-8 minutes of getting solo Sara talking scenes before wrapping all together for the night.

The massive 5 episode, 6 TV show Arrowverse cross over Crisis On Infinite Earths has begun filming in Vancouver.

Yesterday morning, they were shooting a Supergirl portion of the cross over at David Lam Park in downtown Vancouver.

The early scenes saw all Supergirl cast on set. First up was a scene with 100s of extras scattered around a courtyard, with some down below in a park walking around too. The scene has the extras moving towards an area to board a "spaceship" as a message is said by someone on a megaphone telling the calm public "No need to panic, Supergirl and Superman are working hard to save this planet". So it seems by this point in Crisis, things have got to the point that worlds are being evacuated.... but to where? The crowd was very calm, then suddenly, an earthquake hits, and panic sets in. Nicole Maines as Dreamer and Azie Tesfai as Kelly Olsen were in the middle of the panic, Kelly was trying to escort the public towards the way to go, and Dreamer was trying to contact someone through an earpiece.

A little while later, they added Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers and Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor to the scene with Dreamer and Kelly. The scene seemed to be a continuation of the earthquake scene, and it has Alex and Dreamer seemingly staring towards some type of threat, while Kelly was helping people, and Lena was telling people to keep calm and leave in an orderly fashion.

A bit later, they did a scene with Azie Tesfai, and her double, protecting a person with Cody Laudan (the stunt double for The Flash.... but was he being Barry, or just a random person?), but the big take away was Kelly Olsen, the sister of James Olsen, who was known as the Guardian, is seen using Guardians shield to protect the citizen. Is Supergirl making Kelly a new Guardian? While I was able to get photos of the Kelly stunt double with the shield, the couple takes they did with Azie holding it were inconveniently blocked by a large crane they were using for the earlier shots. So I never got a good one of her with it.

After that scene was wrapped, the cast met fans out on the street before leaving for the day. The crew went on lunch break, and it was a long 2+ hour wait till they started filming for a night scene below.

In the night scene they had, the Supergirl crew were working with a couple non-Supergirl cast, and the first scene I had encountered for Crisis On Infinite Earths where shows casts actually were sharing scenes.

The Flash star Grant Gustin, and his double Cody Laudan as The Flash did a scene with Arrow recurring star Audrey Marie Anderson as not Lyla Michaels this time, but Harbinger in her first public shoot as the pivotal COIE character.

In the early part of the evening, they had Grant as The Flash doing a scene where he speeds into a spot on a street, stops and tries to talk to Cisco over his coms. He seemingly cant get a hold of him, so he then asks for Iris, again with seemingly no reply, before a bright light in front of him makes him shield his eyes with his arm till the light fades down. He then stares towards the place that light came from. Later on, they had Cody take Grants place, and brought in Audrey. They then shot the scene from the Harbinger side. For the first take, there was a pretty decent angle to watch, but then they got really defensive, and went out of their way to try and cover it up, which was odd coming from a show that is generally respectful of photographers & fans watching, and even odder when they already dropped a promo of the suit, and shot the scene in public for a couple takes already. So I didn't get too many shots of Audrey in the suit before it was blocked off.

After that scene, the crew wrapped and left to prepare for their future work on this epic cross over.
