The Flash was on location for the season 8 cross over Armageddon. They were filming in the exact same spot I caught them a couple weeks ago. I dont know if these were part of the same episode, or, if they are for a different part of the cross over. One thing that is certain, some big things were happening on this set.

When I first showed up, they were doing blocking for the first scene with Grant Gustin as ???, and Arrow & Legends Of Tomorrow former big bad Neal McDonough as Damien Darhk.

After rehearsals, Grant stopped to take a photo with a fan, then told the rest of the crowd of 30 or so people he would be back to do more photos with later. Several fans waited around on that promise, only to eventually all leave without that encounter. When Grant returned, he was in a costume, but not the typical red speedster outfit. This time he was dressed in an all yellow outfit, outside of a red belt & boots. WHAT? That is right, Grant was dressed as the Reverse Flash. Makes me remember that time in Crisis On Earth X, when Eobard said to Barry, that he wonders what face he'll be wearing the next time they meet. The scene itself wasnt too much, as it just saw Reverse Flash & Damien talking in the middle of the street, before Reverse Flash zips away. They filmed for about 30-45 minutes, and that was it for Grant working that night. I only myself got to see 2 takes, because I just happened to leave at the wrong time & missed about 60% of the shoot. It is so rare that I pick the wrong time to leave, I honestly cant recall the last time I did that.

After that some stunt work was done with Killer Frost, Chill Blaine ( Danielle Panabaker & Jon Cor did some scenes later, but first was stunts) & Damien Darhk doing a fight. With Team Cold battling Damien.

A little later was a scene with Danielle & Jon doing a quick piece of dialogue, then walking towards where Damien was.

The night ended with another spoiler Osric Chau as Ryan Choi, on set in his version of the ATOM suit. He did a scene with Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers in her Sentinel outfit, doing a scene where they stop Damien Darhl from doing something with a jagged looking sword type item. Ryan does something to its weight, making it impossible for Damiek to pick up & Alex knocks him out with something that seemed like a tazer maybe, before the two heroes walk away together.

This was not the best shots I have ever taken. So I didnt spend a lot of time editing these ones. Especially since Froggy has better ones below that I was being allowed to post.

After that, the cast was wrapped for the night, and so was I. They did some stunt work till 7 AM, but I called it a night at 5 AM. At the end of a very long night (especially considering she was called in almost 4 hours earlier than she had to be in the end) Chyler came over and signed for the couple people that still were there at 5AM without any complaints.

Below my set is an EXTRA photo set from a guest photographer (twitter profile), Frog Photo. If you decide to re-post their content, I advise you read the paragraph before their photos at the bottom.

The Flash was on location for the season 8 premiere. The other day I caught up with them filming part 1 of their 5 part cross over event titled "Armageddon", that episode is being directed by Eric Dean Seaton. I do not know if this set is from that same episode still, or a different episode.
You can find that set report HERE

On this day, the cast & crew had moved 1 & 1/2 blocks up the street to an area used by a lot of productions, including The Flash itself in the past for the very first location I ever found of them during the pilot episode. You can see that wayyyy back set report HERE

Early in the day, I checked out this location, but it was clear they werent filming any time soon, so I left and came back a few hours later. In the first scene out there, they had Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, with Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, doing a scene where they were just walking along together. I never saw the scene shot from the front side, I only saw 1 partial take of it when I got over there. When I first showed up, they had already been shooting the scene for a couple takes. But what others told me, I didnt miss anything context, or action wise. It was just them walking along. The photos I have in the set of them, is from them walking back from the end of the take.

After their lunch break, they set up for a couple night time scenes.
First up was Grant again with his stunt double Cody Laudan, doing a scene where The Flash gets tossed across the pavement, then gets up and eventually runs off. It was a very short scene, and was wrapped up after a couple takes.

After that scene, they wrapped Grant, and had Tony Curran come in, wearing a different wardrobe than I saw him in two days earlier on set. this time.  This time, Despero was dressed like some type of European looking warrior with a belt buckle that would glow. He did scenes where he is talking to/at someone/something, while cars burn around him.

They then finished off the night with some more stunts, with a variety of people running around in a panic, while the cars from the scene Tony did, were burning.
That was it for the night.

Some of the setting pieces they had, included signage for Central City Parking, a spray painted sign that said "The End Is Nigh", a sign for a pub called "Robern's", a strange futuristic looking green car that they never used outside of being in the background of the stunt running scene, and a little stand with a sign saying "West Party". I dont know if any of those pieces ever were more important than background info, but from the time I was there, I never saw anything going on that would suggest they had any relevance to the scenes.

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.

There will be some video from scenes from this cross over 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 season 7 shooting on Friday in 2 different spots around downtown Vancouver. They were filming scenes for episode 707, with Alexandra La Roche directing. (director of Goldfaced episode, as well as 5 other episodes of The Flash, plus 7 other Arrowverse episodes over the years on Legends Of Tomorrow and Arrow).

The first location was in a lot attached to B.C. Place, which many know as the place for exterior shots of S.T.A.R. Labs. This is a location they have used at least once before as shown in this previous set HERE .... but not since season 1. Again, like back then, they used it as a parking lot at the CCPD.

This time, the location had several Police cars, and 1 Meta Human Task Force vehicle there. The scene had Jesse L Martin as Joe West, shooting a scene with Carmen Moore. In the scene, we see Joe speed walking after this woman, who is named Kristin Kramer, through the lot. According to the synopsis for episode 7x05, Kristin is "a member of the "Governor's Municipal Logistics Commission" (whatever thats supposed to be) As she gets to her car, he confronts her, and the pair have a serious, but not seemingly hostile, talk. It seemed like Joe was trying to reason with her for some reason. But what could that be?

They did shoot another scene after that at the side of that Meta Human truck, but there was no reasonable angle to see what was going on. What I can say is, immediately before they started shooting that scene, Danielle Panabaker showed up in Killer Frost attire. I can not say if she was in this scene, but her timing compared to when they started filming would suggest she could have been. As well, based off the second set below, I think its probable she was in the scene..... just what was the premise of the scene is completely unknown though.

The second location was in a parking lot across the street from B.C. Place, in a place that really is only used for parking now, but used to be a popular sports bar back in the day. I actually passed that location first on my way to the earlier location, so I stopped and took a couple close up shot of the doors & posters while the chance was there.

A few hours later, the crew moved to this location. Many of the Police vehichles from the first location were moved over to this location. Including that Meta Human task force vehicle.

In this night scene, they had made the empty building look like a pub, even decorated with fake signage out on the street promoting the now recurring made up band Sickada (seen on this season 7 set on a poster)  at O'Shaughnessy's Pub.

Outside the pub, the CCPD had set up to take down someone.... but who??. Well, much to my shock, KILLER FROST! The woman from the earlier scene, Kristen Kramer, was now at this location yelling orders at Frost to come out with her hands up. She tells her she has 2 minutes to come out, then 1 minute, then says time is up, and tells the squad of Meta Human Task Force members to move in, before seeing Frost move towards the front door with her hands up. She then tells the task force members to stand down, as Frost comes out, and agrees to being handcuffed. So you can start your speculations on WHY is a group that you would think Captain West would have some control over, is pursuing Frost now. How did she go from helping Team Flash in episode 3 of this season (HERE) to being hunted by the CCPD? Is this what the earlier interaction at the other set was over?

On my walk back over there before the scene started, I got there moments before Danielle got to the set. She was wearing a face shield, instead of a mask. I have seen both versions being used by different crews, but she was the 1st cast member I had seen on The Flash using this method. I got to speak to her momentarily & congratulate her on her new child. She was, as always, pleasant & thanked me.

It was quite cold this night, and there was only about an hour left in filming at that location when I decided that I needed to call it a night. Perhaps more was filmed after, but considering how little time was left on their time there, it seems unlikely much else came of the scene.

I will have some video of these scenes later on this month. You can this when its up, as well as my other past videos on my Youtube channel.

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

The Flash was on location for season 7 shooting on Wednesday in 3 different spots around downtown Vancouver.

In the morning, and early afternoon, they were shooting in the conference centre part of the Bayshore Hotel, near Stanley Park. Because of the position of some of the cranes, and the part they were actually in, there was almost nothing to see from this location. Only details I can pass along is, the scene had a bunch of blinking strobe lights going on, and Grant Gustin was on set as The Flash. I also briefly saw Carlos Valdes as he left at the end of the shoot, but never saw him in the scene. I know 1 of the two Danielles was on set, as I heard them reference her wrapping, but I dont know if it was Danielle Panabaker, or Danielle Nicolet. At one point as many as 6 different cast style transportation vehicles were waiting around, so there could have been more. The set up there, left it a bit of a challenge to figure out much of anything.

I saw Grant on a break, and as he was leaving. Besides that, I saw him inside for brief moments through a small break between the equipment, trees, and frosted glass. I also saw an unknown guy being led by a crew member back to set all covered up. So I added 1 photo of him in there too, in case he turns out to be something, but he could just be a background character... but they rarely escort background to & from sets.

The one detail from the shoot that DID catch my attention is.... what is The Flash wearing on the front of his head in the 1st photo? Is this the same device he had on when he was trying to prevent Grodd from controlling him.

They would wrap this location around 3 PMish, and move across the downtown core to two other locations they would shoot night scenes for.

For the evening shoots. There was two different sets going on at the exact same time.

I walked by the B.C. Place set 1st, but it didnt look like they were close to starting, so I went to check out the other location at the Vancouver Public Library. At that location, they were already under way... or at least further along in their process. They had Cody Laudan out there in The Flash costume getting ready to do a stunt as The Flash where he gets thrown across the grounds. After they did this short stunt, the team took a while to set up for the next take, so I went back to the other set. On that set, I had to laugh that they covered up 1 real construction crews banners, with their own for "Central Construction".

Outside B.C. Place Stadium (aka - the exterior location for S.T.A.R. Labs ) the crew worked on scene out on the sidewalk part, far enough away from the stadium that its probably not playing into this scene. The first thing I saw there when I got there was a guy in a wardrobe jacket being led away from the set. At first glance (which was short, and from quite a distance.... I actually thought it was 1 of the Samuroids from season 4 at first glance, till I looked at my camera after. After seeing this mystery character, I waited around for him to return..... only to keep getting teased with him walking to & from set with the jacket covering him, but not actually shooting. While he was off, they filmed a scene with a single actress walking along on the phone with a coffee, wearing a Jitters shirt. She clearly sees this mystery character, screams, drops her coffee, and runs away.

Finally, a bit later, they did a scene with the mystery character. Imagine my surprise when after not having a wardrobe jacket covering him, I saw he was dressed like a member of the ancient Roman Army. It bears repeating, this is a Flash set, not Legends Of Tomorrow. The scene is even sillier than it already sounds, as this Roman army guy runs across the grounds at a group of guys, and swings his sword around, seemingly killing them, before turning around celebrating by throwing his hands in the air, and putting his sword away..... if you can make sense of that scene, you are doing better than me at this.

After that insanity, I went back to the other location where I knew The Flash was working, and I thought, would get some sense of normalcy again. Silly me. When I got there they were setting up to do a scene where The Flash, with Grant now on set as him, comes zipping in, and faces.... someone or something? The director was yelling instructions to him over a loudspeaker, telling him its a nightmare, and he cant escape it, and at some point he is overcome by something and ends up on the ground. While all this is going on, a man in a random red & black halloween looking mask also appears, before disappearing. A bit later, they filmed scenes of just the mystery masked man close ups, before wrapping for the night.

EDIT: March 12, 2021 - Actor in the red & black mask has been identified as Ennis Esmer, and the character is Psych.

This is certainly going to go down as the oddest set for The Flash I will have covered to date.

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 was on location for season 7 shooting at B.C. Place Stadium (better know as the exterior for S.T.A.R. Labs) on Thursday & Friday nights. This is part 2 of this 2 night set. You can find my 1st part blog HERE.

On this second night. A lot happened, so I split it into 2 posts.

This portion of the blog will focus on the later scenes. Which adds more context into the first part sets cliff hanger. As well, as show another scene that was shot late at night with some additions to the scene.

The early part of the night was committed to continuing on from the other nights scene which seemed to mostly consist of a battle between Grant Gustin as The Flash and Efrat Dor as Eva McCulloch / Mirror Master / Mirror Mistress. As I stated in the other blog, Candice Patton joined this scene on the 2nd night to do a scene where she can be seen holding hands with Eva, and even consoling her. As I also said in that post, you can just barely see The Flash reaching out towards Eva, but what was his plan?

Well, his plan was.... to join her. To hold hands with her. The trio stood on the steps together looking out at something. What were they looking at? What had these former foes seemingly teaming up? It appears a plethora of Mirror Mistress clones. As there was somewhere in the range of 6 to 8 actresses running around dressed like Eva shooting their arm cannons at a variety of background who were running around in a panic. In the background, a car was burning while this all went on.

Does the new trio team win this battle? It seems so. While we never see them fight them in any way other than to hold hands and stare towards them, eventually they act like they won, and it is over.
There was also a scene shot that I did not have photos of, but I do have a video clip that I will post in the next week or so, where you see a couple of these Mirror Mistress clones with their arm cannons pointed at The Flash, who is kneeling on the ground between the pair. Eventually they leave as Eva takes over. That scene SEEMS to be immediately before Iris comes over to Eva. But I can not 100% confirm the airing order of those scenes.

The late night scene, that happened after their midnight lunch break saw the same trio there, now joined by 2 additional characters. Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon (or is he.... VIBE??) and Danielle Panabaker in her 1st public shoot since becoming a new mom in real life, as Killer Frost join the trio on the stair case. Cisco pulls off his Vibe looking glasses as the group looks out towards the scene unfolding in front of them. The way they were lined up looks like any photo from a promo shot of a cast I have ever seen. Is Eva joining Team Flash as a regular? Or is this her farewell redemption arc, like Marlize Devoe a couple seasons ago?

Through out the 2 nights, they frequently would shoot their big reaction full view scenes on the staircase facing the street. But for the more close up takes, would move back into the plaza more, and film them while they were standing sideways from the street, probably due to the fact it would be unsafe for them to set up so close to the stairs to do these shots, thus why a few shots it seems like I am "behind/to the side" of them for what seems like the same scene.

There will be plenty of video from these 2 nights to post in the next week or so, 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 season 7 shooting at the Vancouver Concention Centre in downtown Vancouver for a couple days. Along with a shoot on top of a parkade 3 blocks away later on the 2nd day.

While there was not much to see on the 1st day (I found the set, but between the rain soaked glass, and the position of props & crew, it was impossible to tell what was being shot), I did get a shot of a few crates with Black Hole logos on them. As well as some type of beam type machine, which I dont yet know what it is for.

On the 2nd day, there was a lot more to see however.
In the morning, a scene was shot right outside the convention centre with Candice Patton as Iris West Allen, along with Victoria Park as Kamilla Hwang. If you werent paying really close attention while there you might have missed that this was in the mirrorverse, as the garbage bins, and dog walking signs there were printed in reverse.... even down to the spray cans Kamilla uses to spray paint (in the proper direction) a message to Iris had the labels on in reverse.

The scene had Kamilla finishing up her message to Iris, when Iris shows up at that spot, sees her, and walks over to her gives her a hug, and the pair talk for about a minute, before walking off together. Where the pair were heading after this is unknown, as the scene ends about 20 steps later.

This scene is for episode 7X02, as you may be able to see by the clapperboard. It is directed by Alexandra LaRoche, who has directed 5 other The Flash episodes in the past, as well as 8 other Arrowverse episodes from Legends Of Tomorrow, Arrow & Supergirl.

As with all the other sets I have been to so far, the covid-19 guidelines in place by our government seemed to be getting met, as all the crew were masked up, equipment and crew stations were well spread out, and in between takes the cast were also wearing their masks.

If you want to see more photos (without some watermarks) from this set, you can find them on Just Jared HERE, as a photographer I know came down to shoot the set after I let him know they were there.

After that scene wrapped, the production moved back inside the convention centre to resume filming interior scenes. Thankfully, this taxpayer built, city block long, building comes with a LOT of glass on it. Making it easy to see whats going on inside.... long as you know where to look. In this particular case, on a level generally used for large convention hall events.

I do not know if this scene is for episode 2, or 1, as I did not think till well after the fact to check and find out. It wasnt till I got home & saw a photo I had taken which made me suspicious that they were shooting parts of 2 episodes on the same day (this is NOT that rare of an occurrence, probably happens a dozen or so times a season). Without going into painstaking detail how I got the info, and what that info was, lets just say, what I saw made me think there were scenes for 2 episodes being shot on this day.

On set for this scene was Grant Gustin as The Flash, Efrat Dor as Mirror Mistress, and their stunt doubles. The first scene I saw shot there was pretty simple. It had The Flash standing about 100 feet away from Mirror Mistress, and he simply goes running at her.

After they shot that scene, I left for a while as I wanted to get some other work done, and it looked like they were going to keep re-doing that scene. I came back about an hour & 1/2 later and things had changed slightly, now they had Grants double up on a rolling cart. He was prepping a scene that Grant himself would do a bit later, where he goes charging towards Mirror Mistress in a horisontal fashio, with his arm shoved forward. Considering Grants love of Superman, I wonder how much he wanted to put both arms out & pretend he was being Superman for the scene, as it very much looked like the way you would expect the Man Of Steel to fly through the air, except with out 1 arm extended.

In the scene, The Flash flies towards Mirror Mistress, before she bobs & weaves his lunge, and The Flash goes flying by her, not making impact with her, as she looks on with an unimpressed look.

After the wrapped that scene, I moved over to the 1 other shoot I knew they had. UNFORTUNATELY, I did not know exactly where it was till I had put in considerable time trying to figure it out. it was on top of a parkade that has been used a few times for other shows in the past. With no good sight lines, I eventually gave up. But not before I came across the 1 & only set of cast trailers out there. The trailer was for Danielle Panabaker, as it has the Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost tag on the door. While I never saw her there, the fact it was the only active trailer at the set made it pretty clear she was going to be in that scene on the roof. What was she doing there? Guess we'll have to wait & see.

UPDATE: October 26, 2020, 1:15 PM - Video of the scenes has been added at the bottom of this post.

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