The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 515 or 516 (I think 16) in an alley just off Granville Street in downtown Vancouver. It's an alley they have used OFTEN. So often, I knew exactly where they were going to bring cast in, and hold them etc. They've been in this alley pretty often. While they were setting up the scene that would be shot first, Chris Klein dressed as Cicada, and Danielle Panabaker dressed up as Killer Frost showed up, and almost walked right thru the crowd of lookie loos, before being turned around by a crew member towards where they were supposed to go. I always can tell what type of "fans" there are at a set by who they recognize.... and this was a perfect example. Danielle, in full KF wardrobe got within about 5 feet of a crowd of 20+ people, and NOT ONE noticed. Clear example that these weren't fans, as much as they were clubbers, stopping by to gawk at all the Hollywood magic going on so they could get instagram likes later. The crew then worked on a car for about 10 minutes, quite literally sawing thru it, so that when they did a stunt later, it would have the desired effect wanted for it. That stunt, saw The Flash stunt double Cody Laudan dropped from about 30-50 feet in the air, into the car, blowing out all the windows, and leaving a massive person sized dent in it. Cody then shot scenes where he just stayed in the dent, almost motionless, as Cicada does his little up, up & away move with his dagger and leaves. During breaks, you would sometimes see the Cicada double talking to Chris, and seemingly showing him how moves should be done. You see this type of stuff a lot on sets, but this time, it seemed like he was doing it a LOT more than others. For a brief while, Danielle was on set as Killer Frost, but I never really saw what her role in the scene was. For much of the evening, the main stars were not really around when I saw them shooting. It was primarily the stunt team, and Chris Klein shooting. A little later, Danielle took off from set, and stopped to take photos with the half dozen or so fans who actually KNEW who she was. A little while later, Grant Gustin showed up in his Flash attire. He then took over from the spot Cody had been in for the last hour. I always feel a little bad for Cody & the other stunt people when I see them do things like they did for Grant, where they had a ladder brought in for him to get up onto the car with, while Cody just had to climb up onto this just recently smashed up car, and climb off it on his own. The crew then shot the same scenes, this time with Grant laying there. A little while later, Grant would leave, and Danielle would come back to do her work. The set up in the alley made it tough to see anything, so I called it a night at that point, and headed home. So I cant really say what happened between Killer Frost and Cicada in this scene.

The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 510 in downtown Vancouver a couple months ago in front of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. When I got there, I realized quickly there was no main cast on set. Instead, I got 1 mystery woman (at that time) doing scenes where she steals a car from a man who is being questioned by a cop. In the scene, she simply just walks up behind the car owner while the cop is right there questioning him, and gets in and drives away before the owner pointlessly tries to chase after her. I asked on twitter if anyone knew who the woman was, and got no solid answers.... so it remained a mystery, until the episode synopsis came out. I now know the woman to be Gabrielle Walsh (The Vampire Diaries, Shameless), and she is playing the character Silver Ghost, who has meta tech abilities that make it so she can operate motorized items. She had a stunt double to do all the driving scenes. A little later they moved to another location down the street. The car was there when I got there, but they had not yet started filming. A little while later Cody Laudan, the double for The Flash showed up. They set up for a scene where he was going to be chasing after the car. It was kind of cold that day, and I wasnt feeling up to waiting it out, so I left before they actually shot any of the scenes. A bit later in the day Grant Gustin arrived to film, as I found out from a post a fan put on twitter of him meeting grant there. After the winter hiatus, The Flash will be back next week January 15, 2019 with this episode. The Flash airs on The CW in the U.S. on Tuesdays.

PLEASE LIMIT PHOTOS YOU POST ON YOUR ARTICLES, INSTAGRAM/TWITTER/OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA SITES POSTS TO FOUR MAXIMUM & credit this post (not just my twitter/instagram handle). Too many people in the last season & a bit have got comfortable with just posting ALL the photos & thus eliminating traffic from coming here. If you want these updates to continue this season, this has to STOP. I will be aggressively reporting those who opt to ignore this info from here on out for DMCA notices, or more. UPDATE - more photos added 6:46 PM July 17, 2018 The Flash was shooting scenes for the season 5 Premiere episode in Gastown today. Two interesting spoilers came out of this shoot. One thats been plastered all over twitter since it was seen......... The old early season suit for The Flash made a return today for some reason..... the other spoiler..... well, guess you'll have to read on. The scenes shot consisted mostly of Grant Gustin and his stunt double Cody Laudan as The Flash facing off against a henchman wearing a black mask over his face who seemed to be causing havoc at Central City Jewelers. In an early scene with the stunt team, The Flash hits the henchman so hard he goes flying back & crashes into an armored truck. Later they shot a scene where the henchman gets him back with a punch that sends the scarlet speedster flying thru the air. After the stunts were done, Grant arrived showing off his Los Angeles sports love, with a Dodgers hat, and a Zlatan Ibrahimovic LA Galaxy t-shirt before he suited up fully in his costume. he then did scenes where he is saving two armed guards from falling before the henchman attacks him. A little while later however, the BIG spoiler of the day was on set. Jessica Parker Kennedy was on set as Nora Allen.... IN SPEEDSTER ATTIRE!. Whats her speedster name? The crew worked hard to try and cover the scene up from the public, and I would have possibly not realized it either if it werent for the fact I had seen her earlier in the day around the set & was on the look out for her doing a scene. They had her hidden behind a lot of equipment and she didnt really come out into view of where the fans were standing. She yells briefly at Barry something along the lines of "what are you doing?" as if questioning his decision.... and thats literally all she seems to do. Below are a few partial shots I got of her, and if you piece them together, you get the whole idea of her outfit. During the break between the scene where The Flash gets punched, and Nora coming on to the set. Grant, came over and took photos IN COSTUME with anyone that asked him there. This is only the 2nd time I have seen him do it, and 3rd total time I am aware that hes done it. So a big treat for all those that hung around at the set today. Perhaps it was a distraction so they could slip JPK on to the set with no one noticing.

If you have not seen this episode yet, and want to avoid any possible spoilers for it, do not continue reading or viewing any of the photos. . . . last warning . . As some of you who follow me on twitter recall, I caught The Flash shooting their penultimate episode "Rogue Air", directed by Douglas Aarniokoski, of their inagural season down at BC Place in late March a couple times. The first shoot was a stunt scene filmed at the side of B.C. Place in the early evening. It had the Reverse Flash falling from high up. The scene probably will make more sense on TV, but my guess is he falls from the top of S.T.A.R. labs, which BC Place often stands in for on exterior shoots. I also saw the stunt man for The Flash, Cody Laudan there, but did not see him partake in a stunt during my limited time there. Another man went up as well, dressed in just some stunt gear rigging. The first shoot that I saw with actors included of course the now well known, thanks to their promo pics, stand off with Arrow star Stephen Amell guest starring along side, Grant Gustin & Robbie Amell facing off against Tom Cavanagh at Terry Fox Plaza. The crew did a great job of using the statues that get larger in size of the Canadian Cancer awareness icon Terry Fox as placing spots to put a "STAR Labs" sign. While they did spend much of a night there filming this scene, not a lot seemed to be apparent from it to the rare few onlookers that stayed around till well after midnight to see the scenes shot. Besides the fact that Arrow in his Warith al Ghul outfit, The Flash & Ronnie Raymond in his Firestorm outfit were facing off against Eobard Thawne in his Reverse Flash outfit, there seemed to be very little in the way of action at this point, and any dialogue that took place happened when we were too far back to really hear it. In any case, with the earlier stunt I saw performed, and these 4 on the concourse, I am sure all hell is about to break loose in Central City. PS - Yes, I am aware many of these shots were used in a previous blog post about this episode. Just re-posting them in here for new viewers, and a couple newer ones were added.                                  A couple days later they were back at B.C. Place shooting more exterior scenes. They started with a daytime scene that had Rick Cosnett and Candice Patton walking along at what seemed like a Central City Police Station set up. The topic of their conversation was not apparent to me at the time of the filming...but knowing what I know after the fact. It clearly revolves around Eddie Thawne's proposal to Iris west, as Iris is holding the green ring box Eddie had. From the body language of the scene, I am guessing Iris did not react with the overwhelming excitement she might have before Eddie was grabbed by Eobard. After they were done shooting, I told my friend to wait where we were, as the rest of the fans moved on to Terry Fox Plaza to see the crew set up the next scene. Eventually Rick & Candice came out where they were filming tog et into their shuttle vans, and signed for the 4 or 5 of us that were smart enough to realize what was happening. After that scene, there was prep work being done for a stunt scene that was going to happen later with Simon Burnett, the stunt man for Stephen Amell's Arrow character. The weather was at best, unpleasant that evening, and after a quick dinner at Boston Pizza, my friend & I decided to opt out of waiting around for the scene that had MANY more onlookers around for it than there was at the shoot a couple days prior. We saw Tom Cavanagh leave after rehearsals, and tried tog et him but he said he would get us when he returned.... so we waited a bit longer for him to come back. When he did, my friend & I got a couple autographs from Tom Cavanagh as he arrived to film, after the security team tried to sneak him in by driving him 50 ft up from where the crowd had huddled under the awning of the Boston Pizza. We opted to risk the wind & rain to get tom & he rewarded us for our effort. Asd we were leaving, I noticed him stop to shake hands with someone, it was Stephen Amell. We packed up our things and took off from the wind & rain that was beating down on the set by that point. The Flash is in this years May madness tournament along with Barry Allen/The Flash. Voting on each match up lasts a couple days at a time. you can check and vote HERE on current matches. The Flash autographs can be found HERE The Flash airs TONIGHT (May 12, 2015) on The CW in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada. The season finale will be next Tuesday May 19, 2015.                    This blog contains possible spoilers for episode 111 "The Sound And The Fury" of The Flash. If you have not seem this episode, and do not want to read or view spoilers prior to its airing, please do not continue reading or viewing the photos. . . . . last warning . . Back in early November I caught The Flash shooting scenes for episode 111 in downtown Vancouver with Grant Gustin and his stunt double Cody Laudan as "The Flash" and this episodes guest star Andy Mientus as "Hartley Rathaway" aka "The Pied Piper".... or "Angry Harry Potter". There was several scenes shot on this day, including a cop car exploding...which I missed. However I did get there in time to see a couple other cool scenes. First up I got to watch The Flash run around behind a bunch of Central City cops, grabbing their batons & throwing them. Based on where he was throwing them, I am going to assume it was at Hartley Rathaway. A little later a cool stunt scene was shot (which I have video of, but wont post it till after the episode airs) of The Flash being tossed through a glass logo display for Rathaway Industries. Once The Flash picks himself he then confronts the Pied Piper. Scenes with Gustin & Mientus as The Flash & Pied Piper were then shot where The Flash appears to disarm the Piper and grabs him by the scuff of his neck. The Flash airs Tuesday nights on The CW in the U.S and on CTV in Canada. This episode airs tomorrow, January 27, 2015.                                            THIS POST CONTAINS PHOTOS & A BREIF DESCRIPTION OF SCENES SHOT FOR EPISODE 108 "THE FLASH VS ARROW" A FEW WEEKS AGO. If you have not yet seen the episode, and do not want to read or see any possible spoilers from it... please to don't continue reading the article, or viewing the photos . . . last chance . . So, as everyone reading this likely knows. Episode 8 of season 3 of Arrow, and season 1 of The Flash will be a cross over episode in which characters from both shows will be featured on each episode, starting with The Flash next Tuesday night & concluding the night after on Arrow. A few weeks ago, several scenes were shout downtown for The Flash episode, titled "The Flash VS Arrow". I intended to have some of these up sooner, and put up the final batch this week...but I got sidetracked. So, heres 1 whole megapost of pics from the 3 days of shoots. The 1st day was the only day I saw any members from Arrow on set shooting. Of course, it happened to be THE ARROW. Stephen Amell and his stunt double Simon Burnett were on the set shooting a scene with Grant Gustin & his stunt double Cody Laudan for the episode. I never really got a chance to SEE much of the scene, but it seemed to be some type of confrontation between the two heroes, which makes me think Flash VS Arrow is going to have some friction between the masked men.             The next day saw scenes done in a building that featured Jesse L. Martin as Joe West. I also saw the stunt doubles of Grant Gustin & Stephen Amell around that day, but not sure what the scenes entailed since they were all indoors. On the final day, they had multiple scenes happen. First off was a scene where they had The Flash star Grant Gustin running into what seems to be the ONLY bank in Central City (and 1 that seems to have a lot of bad luck). They filmed a couple other scenes in & around the bank with guest star of the week Paul Anthony (aka Roy G. Bivolo aka - Chromo) who did a solo scene a block over earlier in the day that I'm guessing was of him getting ready to enter the bank....then he moved over to the actual bank set where he enters the bank and soon after scenes were shot where a scene like something out of the WWE Royal Rumble took place where everyone in the bank just started fighting each other. I honestly don't know what the scene will look like on camera, but from outside it looked pretty wild & funny. After the bank scene was shot. Grant Gustin poked his head out the door in his Barry Allen attire, waved at the fans standing across busy Pender Street. Then, in what has so far in the time The Flash has shot here, been a rare occurrence, a few seconds later, came back out and came across the street to meet the handful of fans before he headed off to lunch.                              After lunch, the crew & cast returned to a side street around the corner from the bank scene for a night stunt scene involving Grant Gustin, Rick Cosnett & Candice Patton and their stunt doubles. The scene seems to have The Flash using his body to slow down/stop a car from hitting Eddie Thawne who was standing in the middle of the street. After Eddie jumps out of the way, The Flash comes over to him to confront detective pretty boy as Iris comes running in from the distance. This scene was an interesting one for me, because I never really thought Grant could muster up a menacing volume of speaking, but the verbal tongue lashing he put on Eddie there was quite intense. Needless to say if Iris was close enough to hear his conversation with Eddie, she would HAVE to know its Barry now after what he said, and as loud as he did. During 1 of the re-positions of the scene and equipment Grant came over to a couple of fans still waiting at the set in the early hours of the morning. He briefly chatted with them, but said he couldn't take photos while in the suit. I asked him if he could once the show airs (it had not aired yet) and he said "maybe".... so far, I haven't had the chance to test that. Shortly after, we were moved back further & I felt there was not much more I probably would see worth sticking around at such a late hour & went home. The Flash is currently up for several BEST OF TV AWARDS 2014 going on right now HERE. The Flash airs Tuesday nights on The CW in the U.S. and CTV in Canada. The Flash/Arrow cross over episodes will air December 2nd for The Flash, December 3rd for Arrow.                             Better late than never, right? Back in August THE FLASH shot a few scenes for an upcoming episode that I BELIEVE is tonights, or next weeks judging by when it was shot. The scene didn't have much to describe since a crew member felt it was their goal in life to block off the entire scene from public viewing despite no cast or crew complaining even once about me prior to him doing so. I can confirm Grant Gustin as Barry Allen did a few scenes in the Flash suit, and later did scenes with Candice Patton. His stunt man Cody Laudan also did scenes as The Flash. THE FLASH returns tonight after its 1 week hiatus for the U.S. mid-term elections on The CW in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada. The Flash is nominated for several awards including Best New Show at the 2014 Best Of TV Awards taking place now thru early January 2015 Here.                    |
