The Flash cast & crew filmed this past Thursday, into early Friday morning at Science World, in the far north east part of downtown Vancouver. This is for the season 9 finale, the series finale, and the Arrowverse finale. It is directed by Vanessa Parise. This is the same location that they used for the season 7 finale where Godspeed, Reverse Flash, and The Flash had that famous lightning light saber battle.

This time, a few more people would be on the set. Early in the day, I got there while they were still setting up. It was going to be cold that night, and I was hoping to get some photos of them rehearsing before it got too cold. Unfortunately, they didnt start rehearsing till it was plenty dark, and already cold. They started with some stunts, featuring the stunt double for Cobalt Blue out on the set. He went up to a car, and shoved it aggressively, which I assume set off the chain reaction that some may have seen in the explosion scene in this video on tiktok. I missed it, as I was across the street in a buddies car getting warm, but we could see it easily enough from the car, as the fireballs were all several feet high, clearing all the equipment that was between us & the set. After they did that explosion scene, there was a scene where someone went through a glass sign (the one I photographed in the daytime), then after cleaning up all that, they started shooting with cast. It was already late & cold by then, and I was only saved by bringing hand warmers with me, and a couple times sitting in a car. Without those, I would have left several hours earlier.

On set for this massive scene was several actors, and a couple stunt doubles. First off, people you might have expected to be around. Jessica Parker Kennedy as XS, Kayla Compton as Allegra Garcia, Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton, Jon Cor as Chillblaine, aaaaand Danielle Panabaker as Khione. But they were not the only cast out there, there was a roster of speedster villains against them. Rick Cosnett was out there as Cobalt Blue, Teddy Sears was there as Zoom, and a bit of an unexpected shock was Tom Cavanagh back as Reverse Flash, as he had not been announced as being back, unlike the other two. With them were stunt doubles filling the suits of Savitar, and Godspeed. Also on set was Cody Laudan as The Flash. Oddly, Grant Gustin did not work all night (this is quite odd.. only other time I have seen that was one time when Grant got snowed in back east, and 1 other time on another show when an actor got too sick to work on short notice).

The scenes did not seem to have a lot in the way of action going on. It essentially had the 5 villains in a row, facing the 6 Team Flash members all standing in a row. It gave us a bit better look at Ceciles costume, which the first set I shot her at, didnt give me the impression the suit was blue, but now I could clearly see it is. Allegra might have had a suit as well, but couldnt be so certain. Khiones wardrobe was seemingly a more toned down old Frost costume, with a more modest look to it. Also, whether you like him or not, you have to give your full respect to Jon Cor as Chillblaine, he was out there SHIRTLESS with his jacket wide open, in below freezing conditions (the temperatures ranged from -1C to -7C on the night) for the scenes.

For the most part, the villains team seemed to have Cobalt Blue doing the majority of the dialogue, but it really was hard to be sure, as I was shooting all of it from about a football field away. On Team Flash, I never really got the impression anyone specific was controlling the dialogue there, but again, they had their backs to me for the entire scene.

During 1 break, we got to talk to Teddy Sears for a few minutes, while he signed autographs He said he was excited to be back, and thanked all the fans who campaigned for him to return, because he really wanted to come back, and kept checking in with them himself to see if they wanted him to come back, and only got the word about 2 weeks out from filming. I also chatted very briefly with Tom Cavanagh, and finally met Kayla Compton for the 1st time.

This MIGHT be the last location shoot the show ever has downtown. They did have another one the very next night, in a city 30 minutes away, that seemed to just be a lot of Godspeeds doing a stunt scene. As of right now, there are no more sets known yet. They only have a week of filming left to do, as they wrap on March 6, 2023.

***UPDATED FEBRUARY 16, 2023 WITH RE-SHOOT PHOTOS & DESCRIPTION AT THE BOTTOM***

The Flash cast & crew filmed scenes on Friday in Burnaby at Central Park. A place they have filmed multiple times this season, including just a few weeks earlier for this set.

On this day, they were doing a night shoot, with The Flash star Kayla Compton directing. I showed up far too earlier, but that did give me the chance to look around, and get an idea of what might be filmed that night. Early on I noticed right away they had a bunch of grave markers set up. I hastily shot as many as I could, hoping to get some cool sneak peak spoiler, but alas, none of the ones I shot in the park had any spoilery names on them. BUT, they did tell a different part of the story, this scene was going to be set in the future, as there were grave markers spanning several decades, all the way into the 2040s. If you dont know, TV set "grave markers" are made from styrofoam, which is of course light, and easy to carry. Unfortunately, this also makes them easy to knock over by any wind. On this day, we were under a severe wind advisory, as possible gusts of up to 90 KM/H were expected, and sure enough, the wind played havoc on the set. The wind knocked over a about 20% of their markers.They had small pegs in the ground to hold them in place, but they were no contest for the intense winds, so they started having to use larger sticks on the back, propping the markers up, to give it more support.

Unfortunately, I was TOO early, and had to kill a lot of time before the equipment trucks even started rolling in. When they finally did, I paid attention to all the cast trailers that came in as close as I could. I didnt know it yet, but this was going to be mostly wasted time. I saw the 1st trailers for cast members come in with the name "Allegra" & "Allegra stunts" on it, and then shortly after a trailer for "director" (and a name I didnt catch), which happens to also be the actress playing Allegra, so that was kinda odd to me. Things only got weirder, next ones said "Taylor" & "Aartz" on them, which are members of the Central City Citizen. The last trailer to come in had 2 names I wasnt expecting "Malcolm" & "Speed Force Nora".  Shortly after the trailers came in, I walked around, and thats when I saw the uncovered tombstone of "Edward Thawne" on a small platform they had built in the parking lot that looked similar to the graveyard in the park, but more tighter for close up scenes. I then went back to the set in the park to see if I saw the same thing there. Unfortunately, that one was still covered.

I then was hanging around near the parking lot again, killing time. While I was hanging around, I noticed 1 crew member changing out the name tags on the trailers. The two CCC members names were switched out for "Producer" and "writer", which of course was not helpful for me. A few minutes later, he would return, and this time he changed out Malcolm and Speed Force Nora names to "Eddie" & "Korber" (the officer who gets like 1 line every 5 to 7 eps). All I can assume is the names on the trailers when they came in were from earlier in the day scenes at the studio, or yesterdays scenes at the studio. It is very common for trailers that dont house the main cast, to change out daily, I had just never seen it happen in real time, shortly before cast were about to show up. About half an hour later, I saw Rick Cosnett show up. He went into his trailer, and headed off to hair & make up. While he was gone doing that, someone showed up that headed into Korbers trailer (I didnt see if it was Stephanie Izsak for certain or not, but it was a woman, and they didnt immediately come back out, so I assume it was). Almost an hour later, Rick returned to his trailer from h&m, went inside for about 5 mins, before an AD knocked on his door to tell him they were ready for him and he came back out in Eddie attire & headed to the set that you see the photos from below.

The scene they shot while I was there was pretty hard to get all the details, because of how far away I had to be from the scene (even though its a public park, during filming, they do have this large area kinda cordoned off for them.). For rehearsals, I wasnt TOO far away, but there was so much crew there with their umbrellas all open (it was pouring rain at the time), I couldnt see much. What was absolutely clear, was Rick Cosnett was at a grave, digging it up in a furiously fast manner. After rehearsals, I moved to try and find a view not blocked by a sea of umbrellas, and thats where I got the shots from that little nook way off in the distance that I posted the photo of, to show you how far away it was. At one point, the camera pans upward to look from up high, directly down into the grave, where Rick would still be. What does he find in there? I dont know. There was no loud sounds, or items he dragged out of it. Just him digging into it.

The weather was cold, it had rained on & off all evening, and was now dark out, and the park is full of coyotes (as you can see from the 1 photo I posted below from earlier in the day. I saw at least 3 different ones while I was there). So I did something really rare for me, I quit this set at like 7 PM, even though I knew they would still be filming for another 6+ hours. But what I got while I was there, definitely has some theory video makers minds working overtime.

There will be some video from scenes from this episode to post in the next few weeks, so come back to find those then, or you can subscribe to my Youtube channel and get them there when they drop. Some from the first part of the cross over is already up there. You can find ALL of The Flash videos I have shot since right back to the pilot episode HERE on Youtube.

The Flash season 9 will premiere February 8, 2023 on The CW.

On Feb 14, 2023, the cast & crew returned to the park to do another night of shooting the scene. Unfortunately, they were unable to finish their work at the previous set because of the weather, so they were back.

This time I managed to get a couple new details I didnt get the last time. First, I got a photo of the Eddie grave in the park, and not the one that was in the parking lots secondary scene, confirming these were in fact the same sets. From a filming aspect, the two details of note were, seeing Officer Korber pulling something that looks like a taser on Eddie, she then walks towards him & they have a talk. I picked up 1 other notable thing from this set, a very loud piece of audio from Eddie in the scene, where after Korber comes up to him, he exclaims in a loud shout "I AM EDDIE. I AM ALIVE. AND I NEED TO KNOW WHY". That was all I saw them film while I was there. But it adds more context to the scene that was not seen at the last set, so it warranted a rare update to one of my blog posts.

The Flash was on location for the season 8 shoot in front of the CBC building. They have filmed close to this same spot before, when I filmed them last season doing a scene with the Godspeeds in the daytime. It also happens to be across the street from where I saw them last about a week and a half ago. On this day, they had the front of the station made to look like "Central City Savings & Loans" bank.

Before I get into describing the scene. If you are a regular reader, you know I never ask this, but if you do go to other places of the internet to discuss these photos. PLEASE LINK TO THIS ARTICLE. I went there on crutches with a bad knee, in the rain, on almost no sleep to give you content. I'd like to see the time, and discomfort rewarded. When you just say "credit to Canadagraphs" that doesnt add a lot of views to here. Most people want a direct link. If they have to google where they came from, they generally dont put in the effort. So please link to the article.

The first scene of the day had a pair of Central City Police at Central City Savings & Loans confronting currently unknown actor, dressed like a cross between a Stormtrooper, a nordic sniper, and a discount ATOM. They draw their guns on him, and he reacts by putting down his bags he seemingly got from the bank, and walks over & "throws" something, that later on I see is a full police car. He does this, 1 handed, and with almost no effort. The cops scatter, and the villain goes back to his bags.

A bit later, the 3 main cast for the day come to work on the scene. Grant Gustin as The Flash, Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton, and Kayla Compton as Allegra Garcia showed up to do a scene with the 3 of them confronting this mystery villain. For most of the filming I was unable to see everything going on because of sightlines. But I did get to see a couple takes eventually, and from what I can tell, they are dealing with this guy, Allegra tries to do something to him with her powers, which sends her back, and onto the ground out cold. The villain then confronts Cecile. Cecile seems to go through a variety of emotions, including a point where she grabs her head as if shes having a headache. Barry then eventually zips in (no idea where he was all this time.) Cecile then helps Allegra up, Allegra seems to need Cecile to help hold her up, while Barry taps his ear, as if hes contacting someone probably at S.T.A.R. Labs. Then the scene ends.

Grant then left for lunch, while Danielle & Kayla continued doing different angles of the scene that they were in. Eventually they headed to lunch, and I left at that point, as I was physically drained by then, and although I wanted to stick around for the post-lunch scene, which was going to including blowing up that Police car that got "tossed" earlier, I just didnt have it in me to do it. 

There will be some video from scenes from this episode to post in the next couple weeks, so come back to find those then, or you can subscribe to my Youtube channel and get them there when they drop.

The Flash was on location for the probable season 8 premiere (I dont know for certain, but based on the amount of filming days, it SHOULD be). After not being able to find them anywhere in their 1st week back to filming this upcoming season. I finally found them doing a shoot that was, unfortunately, all indoors. But, we got our first confirmation they were out working.

I have nothing much to report except that this set had Candice Patton as Iris West Allen, and Kayla Compton as Allegra Garcia working at the set. What you see here is all there was to see, photos of them leaving rehearsals, then photos of them returning to set in their wardrobe. I know its not a lot to go on yet, but never the less, this is our 1st Season 8 set.

This location has been used a few times in the past. Most recently that I recall, in season 6 when Ralph & Barry were staking out the "Midway City Art Pavilion". It is also the 1st location we are ever introduced to Barry Allen, when he 1st premiered on Arrow at the train station arriving in Starling City. There was no signage around to tell if today it was in Central City, or if they were outside the city again.

The Flash season 8 will begin November 16 with their 5 event semi-crossover event on The CW in the U.S. Or on their app the next day.

The Flash was on location for season 7 shooting on Wednesday in a place I had just seen them in 2 months earlier. This time however, they were filming on the outside of the building, as opposed to the last time when I could only see snippets of what was going on through the frosted glass on the windows.

This episode is being directed by Philip Chipera, in his 4th gig with the show (he was the director of last years unexpected season finale episode, and 2 in 2018).

On this day, they were shooting scenes in front of the Westin Bayshore Hotel, which was made this time to look like a place called the "La Salle Building". Why were they there? Who knows. But they shot a couple different sets of scenes there.

The first scene was a stunt scene (I didnt stay around for it as I was working 2 sets just a few blocks apart from each other at the same time) with Cody Laudan in The Flash attire. When I returned a couple hours later, Grant Gustin was then on set as The Flash.

The scene had The Flash seemingly unable to move forward, before moving backwards. Then a person who I had seen on set 2 months earlier, started walking towards where The Flash just was, before stopping and wiping his hands against each other in that "mission accomplished" way people do that. That character is Psych, played by Ennis Esmer.

With a daytime scene, I was able to get much more clear, and detailed photos of the Psych outfit. You can now see more of the details in his mask, and that he seems to wear purple gloves as well.

That was then the end of their scene, and the next set was getting set up.

In the later scene, Candice Patton was there as Iris West Allen, along with Victoria Park as Kamilla Hwang, and Kayla Compton as Allegra Garcia, to shoot a scene of the trio seemingly working as "Team Citizen" for the blog Iris started up, the Central City Citizen.

In the scene, the trio walk towards a limo that is pulling up at the front doors of the building. A well dressed woman is there, and Team Citizen stop to talk to the woman, and Kamilla seems to show her something that seems to maybe be on a phone. The woman walks away from them, and is then confronted by Psych. The woman & Psych have a conversation that at times seems friendly, but then in the end Psych does something to cause the mystery woman to crumble to the ground, much like The Flash did a couple months earlier when I saw them at a different set. Then they did a cut where Iris is suddenly 20-30 feet closer to where the woman & Psych were,  from where she was.

They had a bit more time to shoot that day, but I didnt see any sign that anything substantially different might be getting filmed, so I called it a day.

There will be some video from this nights shoot to post in the next couple weeks, so come back to find those then, or you can subscribe to my Youtube channel and get them there when they drop.

The Flash season 7 will air Tuesday nights on The CW in the U.S. starting February 23, 2021.
