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.

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.

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

The Flash cast & crew filmed a week ago in downtown Vancouver. The episode, the penultimate episode of the series, is directed by Stefan Pleszczynski. On this night they filmed 3 different locations in the area. First was across the street at the top of a parking garage. Obviously there was nothing up there that could be seen. I know Grant Gustin was up there as The Flash. I was also told by a crew member that Jessica Parker Kennedy was up there.

After that, they moved across the street to film the first location shoot of the night. There were some "future" looking signs like for VR med help, and an automated CC Jitters, implying its in the future. In the scene was Grant & Jessica again as The Flash & XS. In the scene, they had XS trying to make people leave the area for some reason. A few moments later, Flash comes in, looks around, and then runs off with XS. A pretty anti-climactic scene over all.

A bit later, they moved down to the a street that is used a lot. On this night, they had it dressed up to look like Porter Plaza, a location they have been to before here.  Grant & Jessica were down there as well as Flash & XS, but they were joined by 1 other cast member, Danielle Nicolet was down there. I assume as Cecile Horton, but..... something was different. The "muscle" of Team Flash was there in what seemed like a head to toe leather outfit.... and a mask. Yep, Ceciles wardrobe has.... levelled up. Earlier in the evening they did a stunt with Grants double, Cody falling from a high height onto a pile of mats. A bit later, Grant took over from the stunt doubles spot, in the classic default starting position of The Flash, laying on the ground. A scene with XS coming in and seemingly throwing something in the direction of where Flash would have been was a bit hard to see, I was too far away, with too much equipment in the way to see if it was at him, or past him. After that, a scene with Cecile coming in, and walking up to Flash on the ground, putting out her hand, and lifting the scarlet speedster off the ground.

After that, I called it a night, even though they had a bit more time left to film. It was cold, and long day, so I decided to call it there. Funny enough, I didnt even know about the Cecile mask till I got home and looked at the photos a bit. I was so unsure at what I saw, I lightened the photo to make sure I saw what I saw. Thats why the 1 photo looks so light.

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 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. 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 was on location for an episode of the 6th season a couple weeks ago in downtown Vancouver.

It was a late night shoot, that started with severla cast members, including Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Jesse L Martin as Joe West, Candice Patton as Iris West Allen and Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton were on set at this location at varying points.

With a lot of picture vehicles on set for the scene, along with the productions equipment, there was very little to actually see of the scenes shot. All I know of the scenes with the actors is that there was a scene where Barry & Iris walk across the gravel parking lot, first 1, then the other a second or two later. Another scene had Joe walking the opposite direction from where they walked to. Later on, the only scene you could see clearly at any point was with Joe standing on top of something and looking forward.

A bit later, after the cast had left the lot, they did a huge stunt scene with an exploding car that I was there for, but sort of missed the original explosion as I believed it was going to be the truck driving towards us blowing up, and not a random car in the background. Luckily I had my phone taking photos at the same time I was video taping it, so I got SOME photos of the explosion. But my video, I only caught the after effect of it.

Throughout the night, I walked around the set (in fact, while I did so one time, was when Grant, and Candice came over & met some fans. One particular fan was nice enough to let me use a couple of their photos of their interactions in my post here), and found 3 different city billboards they had covered up with Central City specific ads. One for CC Jitters, One for Big Belly Burger, and 1 for Ralph Dibny, along with a parking sign for a Central City parkade. I was most amused with the Dibny one for the fine print on it that states he "No longer performs exorcisms/ demon removal". I am curious, does this have something to do with an upcoming episode? Or, does this have something to do with Dibs in the old timeline? A little curious on that one.

At the end of the night, a driving scene was done, that had them drive a vehicle down the street past those ads we saw along the street.

The Flash airs Tuesday nights on The CW in the U.S.
