The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 518 this morning/afternoon in downtown Vancouver at the Vancouver Public Library, before moving inside the CBC building across the street. The title of the episode is one that will have hardcore Flash fans screaming in excitement, or nervous fear. With The Flash keeping the directing of this episode in house, by having 1st time director, and main actor on the show, Danielle Panabaker doing the work, it is no shock the title, and subject matter has been hush hush so far. Luckily for me, my always attentive eye caught the binder of a crew member with the title for the episode showing. The early day scene had a group of cops chasing "someone", while a stunt double that was filling in for Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora gets thrown thru the air onto a car. After the stunts were done, Jessica came in for a VERY SHORT shoot (I am not entirely sure that she did more than 1 take of it to be honest.). She was dressed in casual clothes in all black, and seemed unfazed by the toss her character had just endured. After that scene ended, the crew and cast moved to a secure underground parking lot across the street in the CBC building to shoot more stuff. I managed to catch up to Danielle Panabaker before she headed over there, and even with her hands full of binders and a water bottle, not to mention her tight schedule as director, and me even telling her "nah, its okay, you got your hands full" she still insisted on stopping to sign my item that I had out. Going to be hard for future actors to tell me "I cant, I'm in a rush" after encountering that. The only Godspeed scenes shot on Thursday were either indoors, or really late with stunts. The indoor scene was to take place at "Stagg Industries Storage Facility" and has Godspeed catch Nora and Lia Nelson. Godspeed then kills Lia. After that scene, they went back outside and did that scene with Grant & Jessica. After that scene wrapped, they were scheduled to do a scene where "Godspeed chases Nora up the building... to the roof". The building he is chasing her up, the "CC Citizen Media" building (I'm guessing the CC is short for Central City.... which would make that the paper Iris started). Stunts were also done Friday night for the roof scene, and you can find a photo of Godspeed hanging off the roof of the building HERE from this photographer HERE UPDATED: 10:10 PM February 21, 2019: There was a night scene as well. In the night scene Grant Gustin and Jessica Parker Kennedy do a scene together in the year 2049. It is a pretty intense scene that contains dialogue from Nora "dad, you dont have to do this. I promise I'll never see Thawne again". So, by episode 18, the secret clearly IS OUT. UPDATED: 12:44 AM February 22, 2019: Added 26 more photos, including many of Grant & Danielle conversing during a break, and Grant & Jessica filming the scene described in the paragraph above. UPDATED: 4:45 AM February 23, 2019: I have added some description & details about the scene shooting on Thursday with Godspeed. I had not originally added it as I tend to stick to a policy of not posting things I did not see. However, a prominent Youtuber managed to get the info and I felt I should at least confirm that I too had that same info, and perhaps clarify a bit more on it. I will have some photos to add of the Godspeed stunt later today. UPDATED: 10:27 PM February 23, 2019: Added 2 photos from local photographer Brittany Charlotte. Her instagram is in the link on her name, so go thank her for the pics, and follow her if you want. I asked her if she would give me a couple more photos that she hasn't posted yet, to give you all a bit more look at the face, and design of the suit. So please give HER all credits when re-posting them. There is also a short synopsis of the scene from her. "Jessica scoots as if she has been running, then Godspeed gets dropped from a height onto the 'Central City Citizen board' ". This scene was shot on the outside of the CBC building late Friday night. The Flash airs on The CW in the U.S. on Tuesdays. If you want to see my past behind the scene shots for The Flash go HERE If you want to see my autograph gallery for The Flash go HERE

The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 517, directed by Rob Greenlea, on Cambie Street, across from Victory Square (Flash fans probably know Victory Square better as the place Savitar kills Iris) in the early part of the day. The crew then moved in to an alley just off Hamilton Street on the other side of the square in downtown Vancouver. The daytime scenes were interesting, although a casual passer by might not have known why (to be honest, I did not either right away). A scene was shot in the morning with the stunt team showing a couple going up to an ATM before it explodes on them, sending the pair flying thru the air. This scene really seemed to have no importance when you see it JUST as the way they filmed it. But later, when they moved to shooting a scene in a minivan you realize why this scene is so interesting. The couple gets out of the minivan, heads to the ATM, and after the accident, a small girl in the minivan screams...... if you have been watching this season much then you are probably already connecting the dots. The young girl in the minivan is of course Islie Hirvonen, better known as Grace Gibbons, the niece of Cicada. It is then clear that what we were watching is the scene where Grace sees her parents get killed. But why? how? Thats a mystery we will have to wait and see. I did not really photograph the couple because I thought they were going to have more work to do, and was waiting for a better angle to appear. Instead, the production re-set with a close tight view of the minivan to capture Graces reaction. I managed to snag 1 photo of Islie after she completed her shooting, and was waiting to get picked up to go back to the trailers. Shortly after this scene ended, a different scene at the ATM took place with a mystery woman in a hoodie. This woman went up, and used the ATM without consequences. Was this to show that not everyone had a problem with the machine? Or, was this woman the reason the machine became a problem for Graces parents? They then filmed scenes where a leaf blower was shooting money through the air. After that short scene, they started filming with main cast. Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon and Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora West-Allen shot scenes outside the same ATM machine where the trio seem to be investigating the machine. Cisco at one point seems to vibe the machine, and seems mortified by what he sees. After a couple hours of filming that scene, they wrapped that location, with Jessica & Grant getting wrapped for the day. I managed to get a few Grant Gustin autographs as he left the set, I asked him how he liked working in the Green Arrow costume compared to his own. He said he loved it (he has benn pretty open about how much he dislikes the way his own suit feels), said it was like "working in pyjamas". I then got Carlos Valdes shortly after, as Carlos was walking over to the next location, his day was not done. I tried asking him about the rumour he might be leaving the show, and his reply to it was simply "I'm not the writers", suggesting that it isnt up to him, as much as if the writers decide he is done. The crew went on lunch break after having Carlos and Hartley Sawyer do a quick run through of the scene they were going to do after lunch. After the lunch break, the sun was gone, and it was time to shoot some night scenes. Carlos and Hartley came back from lunch, but they were not dressed in the attire they did the run through in. Instead Hartley was now dressed as Elongated Man, and Carlos was dressed as........ VIBE. Yes, you read that right, by episode 17, Cisco is able to go out dressed as Vibe again. So I am guessing Cicada finds out the truth by then. The pair shoot a scene in an alley where they seem to notice something off to the side of them, and then go towards it. Also, a scene was shot where it appears that Cisco creates a portal and they go thru it. During one unusually longer than usual break between takes, Carlos started dancing in the alley, and it went on for several minutes, while Hartley joined in occasionally a couple times for a few seconds. After Hartley left, I called it a night. So I dont know what might have been filmed after that. Carlos still seemed to be there. Could there be a Vibe VS Cicada scene? Or perhapswe see Vibe doing some solo work? We will all just have to wait and see I guess. The Flash airs on The CW in the U.S. on Tuesdays.

The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 515 or 516 in downtown Vancouver for 3 days this week. While little could be seens Wednesday or Friday because the locations were up on parkades. Thursday, the crew was right out on West Georgia Street shooting scenes for the episode. When I first got there, I instantly hear the director blurting out instructions in the scene that had no cast at the time. What caught my attention was the part of "and thats when/where King Shark lands". That is right, he is back. King Shark will be in this episode..... but thats not where this spoiler ends. After what seemed like forever, they finally did a couple more takes, with another tidbit getting dropped shortly after as I heard "Grodd is fighting, and thats when/where King Shark lands". It took me almost no time to realize... this is the King Shark VS Gorilla Grodd fight Nora had alluded to earlier this season. The evening didnt produce a lot of action to see. In fact, I cant even be entirely certain if there was any actors taking the places of Grodd & Shark. I THOUGHT I saw one for Shark on the first take, but I never confirmed it in later shoots. They also didnt do a lot of takes of the scene, even though there wasnt a lot going on in it. Probably a mistake on their behalf, as not long after, a torrential downpour would come A little while later, Grant Gustin as The Flash and Jessica Parker Kennedy as XS were on set doing a scene where they were clearly engaging with 1, or both, of the mutant animals. The speedsters came prepared for a fight with Grodd it seemed, as they had some device on their heads that had ear muffs, and 2 red lights on it.Again, like the earlier scene... no action really took place, just the pair of speedsters standing in the street staring in the same direction saying something. A little while later, Grant left the set for the evening. Signing a few autographs for people, and taking a couple photos with, before going home. Unsure if JPK was still working. The weather was so miserable, I felt it best to call it an evening at that point. They proceeded to film out there for a couple more hours. No clue what/who might have filmed afterwards. The combination of terrible weather, darkness, and filming on 1 of the busiest streets in downtown Vancouver made taking photos very challenging. I quite literally only got 1 set of shots of Grant facing me in the hour or so I stood out there, and the 1 I posted was really the best of the bunch as I was shooting between a passing truck and bus, so the camera didnt really have time to focus fully in on him.

Plus, PROPERLY credit the source(s). As October got under way, so did the annual DC TV universe crossover event that they have done for the past few seasons. This year, only 3 of their 4 shows are taking part, with Legends Of Tomorrow taking a pass on this one. Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl are teaming up for the event. On this particular day, they filmed several scenes in downtown Vancouver for"The Flash". I didnt see every scene shot, because some of them were happening while I was checking on other things at set. Surprisingly, there was not much overlap from the day before shoots. Which is rare for a 2 day shoot. Most times, half of what they shoot on day 2 is the same as day 1, just at different angles. But there was very little of the same. - (will fill in scene details later when time permits) Grant Gustin was dressed as the Green Arrow, Stephen Amell was dressed as The Flash, Melissa Benoist was there as Supergirl, and Tyler Hoechlin was there..... dressed in his traditional red & blue Superman attire, which after the spoiler photo Stephen posted earlier this week, was a mild surprise to me. The day included a bike stunt, as well as a superhero team up scene where Flash. Daniel Cudmore.was playing Amazo. More photos might be added later this weekend... and perhaps some video.

This year, only 3 of their 4 shows are taking part, with Legends Of Tomorrow taking a pass on this one. Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl are teaming up for the event. On this particular day, they filmed several scenes in downtown Vancouver for the "Supergirl" part of the crossover. Funny enough, with no main Supergirl cast, and only 1 of the 4 scenes shot even had a Supergirl guest star in it. Tyler Hoechlin was seen on set, and as Stephen Amell showed in a tweet yesterday, Superman has some new threads for this crossover event. Lucky Stephen was willing to share with you all, because when Tyler was down on ground level (they were filming on top of a parkade) he was more modest about showing off his new duds. Covering up the Man Of Steel outfit as much as he could.I managed a few photos that JUST catches the top of the logo before he covered up even more. There were two other scenes shot during the day that I didn't get any photos of the cast at. One in Oceanic Plaza, which is used by EVERYONE at some point, they had a scene where a group of spectators were watching something happen in the sky, but no actors were there for it. Then after the roof top scene, was a scene in an alley where they were using a drone to film... something? Whatever it was, it wasn't actors, I can tell you that much. A bit later I caught up with Stephen and Grant Gustin filming at a different location. While I had seen both of them at the roof top location, it was only for brief moments as they wanted to & from the set from their trailers. Grant once, noticed me there taking photos, and waved, then showed off his new attire, trying to put on a bad boy sneer with it. Of course, since I wasn't given prior warning to his plans, I both missed the wave, and him flaunting the wardrobe off to me, as I had started shooting too late to catch the wave, and ended too soon to catch the showing off in its entirety. At the other location Stephen, as Oliver Queen. Grant as Barry Allen, both shot a scene where the pair stormed down a street together, running into an apartment building before getting into an altercation inside the building. The pair were both dressed like boyband members pretending to be hoodlums. They had jackets on that said "Trigger Twins" on them. All I could think when I heard the term was how often triggered is used on the internet, and wondered, are Barry & Oliver internet vigilantes? But in all seriousness, the pair shot this series of scenes there, before they took a break. When they went on their break, I left, because I really didn't think anything more special would be happening. Sometimes I get this wrong... this was 1 of those rare occurrences. Barely after I got home & took my shoes off, I got a DM from a twitter user that was there @themyscirabound telling me Stephen showed back up, in full GREEN ARROW wardrobe. I asked Themyscirabound if she felt like sending me a couple photos to put in this post, and she agreed, so if you use any of the photos of Stephen in the Green Arrow attire below, credit HER.

The Flash was shooting scenes for season 5 in downtown Vancouver last night. They were in an area known as Plaza Of Nations, which during its heydays used to be an entertainment area with an outdoor concert venue, a couple clubs and a casino. Nowadays, its mostly just a couple large empty buildings and an empty courtyard where the outdoor concert venue was. While many productions have used the facilities over the years, I THINK this is the first time I can recall The Flash there. Anyways, here is a quick video of Grant Gustin in his new Flash suit with Jessica Parker Kennedy in her XS suit doing a scene where they are looking at Central City Picture News before Grant speeds off, leaving Jessica there by herself with onlookers. Lastly, apologies for the short blurry moment. Still have no idea how to stop the camera from trying to focus on things that dont matter. Had it 3 or 4 years, and its still a nuisance. You can see some still photos from this shoot HERE The Flash airs on The CW in the U.S. on Tuesdays and to CTV in Canada starting October 9th, 2018 If you want to see my past behind the scene shots for The Flash go HERE If you want to see my autograph gallery for The Flash go HERE |
