The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 521 last month in downtown Vancouver. On night one of their 2 night shoot, there was a scene that had several cast on set. Grant Gustin, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Hartley Sawyer, Carlos Valdes and Candice Patton. I never caught them actually shooting the scene when I was shooting a video. But I did get them hanging around waiting to shoot a scene still in their own everyday clothes. In this one, you see Grant dancing a bit. I did miss the start of his dancing, but caught the very end of it. Down at the bottom, there are links to my photos from these shoots that DO explain the scene they were there doing.

There was a scene shot the 2nd night with Grant Gustin as The Flash, Sarah Carter as Cicada, and Jessica Parker Kennedy as XS. Here are a couple takes of that scene being shot.

There was also a scene shot with Carlos Valdes as Vibe and Hartley Sawyer as Elongated Man.

You can find photos form these sets HERE and HERE

The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 521 late yesterday at the back of the Law Courts in downtown Vancouver. A location they have used in the past (albeit slightly different part) as they were there for episode 209 when Mark Hamill used to still slip in for a year appearance. This was their 2nd night there in a row. You can find night 1 details and photos HERE.

On this night the crew and a large portion of the cast shot several scenes that mostly seemed like continuations of the scene shot the night before with a couple small changes.

The scenes shot this night included much of the same cast as the night before, but 1 addition, and 1 subtraction from the previous days work.
 
A daytime scene was shot with Tom Cavanagh as Sherloque Wells and Kimberly Williams Paisley as Renee Adler (photos of this scene will be added later). It had Sherloque running hastily down a street to catch up to Renee who was sitting on a bench. The pair talk for a couple minutes, with Sherloque at one point trying to seem to drag her away, before Renee pauses that idea, and the pair talk. During the talk, Sherloque shows Renee something, and the look on her face was 1 of "what? seriously?" but what was it that had a meta-human so amazed? Sherloque seemed to be showing her an extrapolator. Was he giving it to her? or, was he showing it to her to tell her he could come and see her at any time? Is Sherloque saying his last good byes to Earth 1? The pair moved to a scene up on the upper courtyard of the law building after that, which gave me time to go home and get a quick nap before the night scenes.

Once the night shoots started, they had 3 cast come in to shoot some scenes. Sometimes they were by themselves, sometimes with just 2 of them, and a few times with all 3 of them. Grant Gustin as The Flash, Jessica Parker Kennedy as XS and Sarah Carter as Cicada (or Shecada as many are calling her now). In the scene, it seems Flash & XS try to attack her with 1 of their lightning throws, and Shecada just stands there unfazed by it. She then does her classic jump away while Flash & XS seem to cower from the action. A couple interesting observations of Shecada in this scene was first of all, no respirator. Secondly, looks like she went and got her hair done. Now sporting tight braids on the side of her head. She also seems to be donning an almost all leather suit now. Lastly, she was carrying around a device that looked to me like the type of claw you see on 1 of those machines in malls where you can "win" a stuffed animal if you can pick it up with this 3 pronged "claw". What was it for? She never seemed to use it for anything really. Just carried it around.

UPDATE: 4:15 PM, March 23, 2018 - Photos of Sherloque & Renee night scene, as well as Vibe and Elongated Man scene & Shecada scene added below.

UPDATE: 12:00 PM, March 24, 2018 - Photos of Sherloque and Renee from daytime scene added at the bottom.

Some more solo Shecada scenes were done of her walking down the same stair case that Sherloque and Renee were just looking up at. I dont like to assume things, but the angle of it all strongly suggests its Shecada that Sherloque and Renee were fending off.

There was then a scene shot with Carlos Valdes as Vibe and Hartley Sawyer as Elongated Man. The pair breach in to the area where everything has been going on, walk down the stairs, and are confronted with something.  Vibe points a gun type device at the mystery item/person, before the two seem to be knocked down.

After Carlos and Hartley wrapped, they went back to shooting more scenes with Shecada. But the angle was mostly covered by equipment and crew, so I gave up on seeing what else there might have been.

Much like the first night, each cast member stopped to meet with some fans (although a couple of them were far more hurried in leaving than the day before). I managed more autographs form the cast this night, as Tom, Carlos, Hartley, Jessica & Kimberly all signed for me at various times of the day and night.

I brought up the fact that Carlos had to endure so many people asking him about his plans with the show at the Fan Expo, and his reaction was mostly what I would call awkward embarrassment. He seemingly laughed it off. I told him whatever he does next, I wish him luck, and he replied with a very sincere "thanks man" before he left. I think he was just relieved to not be asked again. This rumour has clearly made the rounds so much, I even had a crew member ask me the first night if it was true he was leaving.

As promised when I posted this blog post initially, here are photos from the daytime scene between Tom Canvagh and Kimberly Williams Paisley.

The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 521 late yesterday at the back of the Law Courts in downtown Vancouver. A location they have used in the past (albeit slightly different part) as they were there for episode 209 when Mark Hamill used to still slip in for a year appearance.

On this night the crew and a large portion of the cast mostly shot a 3 part scene. The scene entailed Grant Gustin as Barry Allen and.... Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora West-Allen, who has seemingly been allowed out of her time out corner after how the last episode ended. Seems she is back working with the team. The pair were doing some CSI type inspecting of a bench when Hartley Sawyer as Ralph Dibny and Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon show up to discuss things with them. A few moments later Candice Patton as Iris West Allen shows up, Ralph and Cisco split to leave the West Allen fam to have a chat. What about? Hard to say, but it seemed far less contentious than the last time I saw a couple of these family members speaking on the set of 518.

A little later in the evening a scene was shot with Tom Cavanagh as Sherloque Wells and Kimberly Williams Paisley as Renee Adler (just a question of which one). I couldnt really see what that scene entailed because of the angle.

After each cast member wrapped, they all stopped to interact with the larger than usual crowd of fans & lookie loos passing by. Some only briefly, while others spent several minutes interacting with everyone there. It is not uncommon for a couple cast to stop once in a while, but it is rare that every cast member when theres half a dozen of them there to do so. Usually theres someone whos "gotta go" for some reason.

I will have MANY MORE photos from this set to post later, but I could not do them all right now, so I had a poll on twitter to see if people wanted the earlier photos from them doing rehearsals, or later photos of the scene being shot first. I will add the additional photos over the weekend.

UPDATED: March 26, 11:15 AM - More photos below of the cast shooting the scene in their on screenw ardrobes.

The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 518 last week. As you may have already heard from my previous blog post HERE there was a scene going on with Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora West Allen and Grant Gustin as Barry Allen in the future. I never really could hear what Barry said, but I clearly heard Nora on multiple takes say "Dad, you dont have to do this. I promise I'll never see Thawne again.".

But now, here is some video from 1 of those takes, and you can see the fear and panic in Noras face as Barry leaves her there in 2049.... but WHY is she so panicked?

The episode is directed by The Flash co-star Danielle Panabaker.

You can also find other angles of the scene shot at local fans twitter account @TheMyscirabound
Heres one angle of the scene from her account.
And another, you can hear Nora tell Barry she promises not to see Thawne again

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 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.
