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.

My other finale blog posts are HERE and HERE.

The Flash cast & crew filmed scenes earlier this week in downtown Vancouver for 3 nights. This blog post is just for the 1st two nights. This was for the season 8 finale, episode 820. The production closed down 1 whole block in front of our hockey arena, Rogers Arena. Along with that, at other points of the shoot, they had a couple other roads completely blocked off to traffic & pedestrians.

On Wednesday night, in continual rain, the cast & crew shot scenes with Grant Gustin as The Flash, and Tom Cavanagh as some version of Eobard Thawne (he was referred to as "NRF" on a storyboard I happened to see for 1 of the scenes). In the scene, the 2 are having an altercation in a parking lot, when Barry seems to get frozen, as if he is in Flashtime, and Thoawne walks around him acting all boastful, a Police Car zips in during in (why it wasnt also frozen.... thats for the writers to explain) and Thawne blows it up. All the while, Barry is frozen still in a defensive pose. I also saw 1 scene they did a couple takes of where Barry just comes running into the parking lot from the street, and that was about all there was on that night that I saw.

On Thursday night I got down the set a little later than the night before, knowing this time it was going to be a full night shoot. When I got there, it was clear they were planning to do a different stunt at some point, as they had a crane set up to lift someone in the sky.

For the 1st couple hours, nothing much happened, except getting the stunt team prepped to do a stunt. At 1 point they did a stunt where the doubles for Flash & Thawne are thrown into the air in opposite directions (I missed it somehow, but you can find it on twitter HERE.). I saw them working on 1 stunt where they were raising the Thawne double high into the air. Unfortunately, a random lightning strike paused their work on that stunt, and the whole production shut down for about 45-60 minutes while they waited to make sure there was not more troublesome weather. By they time they were getting ready to work again, I had gotten tired, cold, and sore enough to consider leaving, and had decided next train I saw coming in, I was taking it. While I was waiting, they called 1st team rehearsals, which I thought was odd, since it was clearly the stunt team working last I saw.

Instead of just stunts now though, they had cast on set. Grant Gustin was laying down in the middle of the road, he had his rain gear on over his costume, so there was no identifying markings it was him, except the gold boots. At 1st I thought it might be him because I thought I saw gold boots. But when I looked at the person laying on the ground, I couldnt see any of the boots, and assumed it was a random Cop from the blown up CCPD car maybe because of the all black outfit he was wearing. I was again, about to leave, when I saw something I wasnt expecting to see. A man in blue pants, red jacket, wearing a big metal brimmed hat go running into the street with a woman. I grabbed my binoculars again, looked and confirmed what I thought I was seeing, it was John Wesley Shipp & Candice Patton. Suddenly I realized that WAS Grant in the middle of the road, and I hurried over to a better spot to start shooting.

They packed a lot of parts of scenes into the time I was there, trying to make up for the hour they had to shut down. Inside the parking lot, they had Thawne looking all menacing facing Barry, while Iris & Jay Garrick were standing 15 feet away from them. Iris yells "Flash, you have to stop". Iris holding her head at times. Next they are out on the street. Out there Iris & Jay find Barry, on the ground, just starting to get up. Barry & Iris hug for a long period, before Jay rushes Iris out of there after Barry says something to them. They then had 3 speedsters join Barry, Jessica Parker Kennedy as XS, Jordan Fisher as Impulse, and Kausar Mohammed as Fast Track, with a new cowl, joined the Scarlet Speedster. Barrys kids rush over to hug their dad, as Fast Track stands near by. They then have their moment broken up by something in the sky that they all turn to look up at.

A bit later, they finally did the stunt with the Thawne double high in the air. Barry is sitting on the ground, against the building and is yelling at him while Thawne is making lots of "aggghhh" type sounds with his arms stretched out. At 2 points, he makes a clap, before going back into the arms stretched out point.

aaaannd that was it for these 2 nights in the parking lot. There was 1 more location shoot the next night, that I will have a blog up for in the next couple days.

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.

My other season 8 finale set blog posts are HERE and HERE.

The Flash cast & crew filmed scenes yesterday in downtown Vancouver. Earlier in the day they were inside the Parq Hotel, which is the same hotel they were using as the one Iris has been staying in while in Coast City. Whether or not thats whats still going on, unsure.

Later in the night, they moved a few blocks over for a night shoot with two cast seen on set. One was Brandon McKnight as Chester P. Runk. Despite being there for like 5 hours, I never once actually saw him in any of the scene, and only got 1 whole photof of him there, so I dont know what he was doing there. He may have been in the scene off to the side. The other person on set was a small surprise to see on set, Tom Cavanagh as Eobard Thawne / Reverse Flash. What WAS a shock though, was his brand new wardrobe. Toms character has done away with his gold dominated attire, and is now rocking a mainly black wardrobe, that has some gold & red colouring in it.

The scene really wasnt a lot to describe. He shows up, people run around in a panic, he walks out into the middle of the road talking to seemingly no one, throws a couple lightning bolts, and that seems to be it. The production has about a week & 1/2 left for filming. So hopefully I can catch them around again to get more, so you all can start piecing together what this all means.

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.

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 7  finale. After catching them at several locations for the penultimate episode (their 150th episode) earlier this month, I wondered if I would see them out for the finale as much. Last 2 nights, I got my first look at them on location for the season 7 finale.

As I reported in my 1st report on the finale HERE, The Flash cast & crew were doing scenes around Science World. On this night, they were working on continuations from the night befores big fight. Grant Gustin was there as The Flash, Tom Cavanagh as Reverse Flash, and recently identified by Youtuber Pagey, (and confirmed by me at the set after he told me the name) Karan Oberoi was there as Godspeed. Their stunt doubles were all there too, as you can see from 1 of the photos below where all 6 of them are in 1 shot between takes, but I saw almost no use of them while I was there, only 1 I saw being used was Godspeeds double.

Unlike the night prior, these scenes had a different twist on what we were seeing shot the night before. This time, we see Godspeed seemingly beating The Flash again, doing his chest power suction thing, when this time Reverse Flash sneaks up on Godspeed, waits for him to turn around, and stabs him thru the chest with 1 of those mystery green sticks. Godspeed crumples to the ground, seemingly dead. Barry run over to check on him, seeming to show concern for the fallen "god", then yells at Reverse Flash "what have you done?", the pair then stand and have a conversation, Barry obviously looking displeased, while Eobard stood there with an I did what had to be done because you wouldnt feel to his posture. Then we see Thawne try to punch Barry, and Barry dips out of the way (similar to what I saw Mirror Monarch do to him back earlier this season) and as his fist goes by his face, Barry grabs Reverse Flashs arm, and simulates a hip toss, sending Eobard about 60 feet away onto the ground. When he gets up, Barry zips over, and they have ANOTHER conversaiton, where Eobard yells at Barry "I made you", before looking at himself with his arms down in front of him for some reason, then they stand off for a few more seconds (maybe Barry speaks? I didnt have a good view of his side), before Reverse Flash runs off. Barry then turns around, and runs over to the body of Godspeed, and the scene ends.

There will be some video from these scenes 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 season 7 airs Tuesday nights on The CW in the U.S. Or on their app the next day.

The Flash was on location for the season 7 finale. After catching them at several locations for the penultimate episode (their 150th episode) earlier this month, I wondered if I would see them out for the finale as much. Last night, and early this morning, I got my first look at them on location for the season 7 finale.

An early in the day location at a place just outside of the downtown core I did not get to in time to see any filming, but I do have a minor tidbit to add to the blog at a later date from there.

But onto what you really came here for.... The Flash cast & crew were filming on an overnight shoot outside Science World in the area between the downtown core, and Olympic Village. Grant Gustin was on set as The Flash. There was also a Godspeed on set, and I actually heard the guy speaking this night (plus I also saw him I believe at a set for 7x17), so is THE Godspeed? (update - Karan Oberoi is the name playing Godspeed) But 1 person I had not planned on seeing, was the recently announced to be leaving, Tom Cavanagh. If thats not a crazy enough spoiler for you.....

The scenes the trio did, all were part of a fight scene. It starts with The Flash & Godspeed in a battle that eventually sees Godspeed with the upper hand, and seemingly ready to kill Barry, when someone comes in to stop him. Is it Frost? Vibe? One of his kids? NO! REVERSE FLASH! That is correct, Tom is back as Reverse Flash, AND he helped Barry out in his fight with Godspeed. After Reverse Flash sends Godspeed flying across the courtyard, Barry slowly gets partially up, before Reverse Flash puts out a hand to help him up, and Barry accepts. The pair get up, and then seemingly head into the next part of the fight.
Much later, after lunch, they did a scene I saw them rehearse early in the night with the trio in a fight with glowing green sticks (I did think at first they were light sabers, but they sounded more wooden sadly). In the fight, Godspeed fights off the pair. The only part of any dialogue I ever really heard crystal clear was "you cant kill a God" coming from Godspeed.

What all does this mean???? Is Reverse Flash getting a redemption arc? Is this a temporary alliance to take on a more problematic foe for both of them? We will have to wait & see.

There will be some video from these scenes 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 shooting scenes for episode 522 earlier this 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, Danielle Panabaker, Hartley Sawyer, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh and Candice Patton.

I caught a few moments sporadically throughout their shoots where I got a couple short videos. Apologies in advance if you are not happy with the video quality. Feel free to buy me a top quality video camera, and I will shoot better videos. But THESE were done with my $500 Camera (not video specific camera), and from 2 city blocks away. Lastly, when you are out at night looking at it on a 2 inch screen, it looks a lot better than when you finally get it home and see it on a 20 inch computer screen.

In the first video below, I merged 3 different clips together featuring all the cast at different points.

UPDATED APRIL 22, 2019 - 3:50 PM - More clips added at the bottom.

There was also a scene shot with Grant Gustin, Jessica Parker Kennedy and Tom Cavanagh a bit later that I made a separate video for below..
