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. 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.

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.

UPDATE - 9:00 PM May 22, 2021 - Godspeed actors name added, Karan Oberoi

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.

A reminder... DO NOT attempt to post the video to your own social media accounts or website WITHOUT using this blog posts link directly, or the original youtube link. Re-uploading it ANYWHERE and not simply linking to the original post will have it removed, and depending on the platform, could have your account suspended or terminated.

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..

** - This blog is going to be done in THREE PARTS. You may make ONE post of EACH DIFFERENT PART as they are added. You may NOT make 3 posts of just 1 part. Please make note of this rare bonus permission.

The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 522 Wednesday night and Thursday night in  Granville Plaza. Oddly enough, a location they used for last years finale. This time however, they were calling it "Central City Plaza" and had a fake hotel sign out there.

The scene had Grant Gustin as The Flash, Carlos Valdes as Vibe, Danielle Panabaker as Killer Frost, Hartley Sawyer as Elongated Man, Jessica Parker Kennedy as XS and Candice Patton as Iris West Allen shooting a scene with 1 other vry notable cast member on set. Tom Cavanagh was also there, but this time, not as Sherloque Wells, but as long time recurring villain Reverse Flash.

Unlike the day before, when I showed up to a shoot for The Flash that lasted less than 2 hours, they used up every second they could this time, as the filming notices they have to hand out to businesses said they would film till 5:30 AM, and I can confirm that at almost 5 AM, a couple cast members were still there filming when I finally left. It is quite rare for an overnight shoot to use up every minute they can. Usually these notices say "5:30" but they are usually done by "3:00" (or some time frame around couple hours short of what they say they need).

Of course the big spoiler on this set was that Grant Gustin had his 3 dogs at the set...... okay, and I guess, the Reverse Flash at some point gets out and is causing havoc. I was unable to confirm if this scene is in current day, or in 2049. But with the entire hero squad, and their blogger friend there, I feel it was a current day scene.

The scene seemed to be splintered into parts, so I was really unable to really follow what all happens. All I can say is, the whole team lines up against Reverse Flash and lots of talking seems to take place. At one point they did a scene with just Flash & RF, and it seems like Flash AGAIN lets RF run away. But I cant say with certainty since like I said, the scene really seemed to be broken down into a lot of small parts that could play out in any random order on screen.

There are MANY MORE photos from this set, but I wanted to get a few up right away for everyone to start talking about. So check back in a day or 2 to see a few more.

I also have some photos from a daytime scene from the day before this shoot of Grant and Candice doing a scene, I will try to get to that this weekend. But obviously because of the importance of these scenes, I had to work on this one first.

UPDATED: APRIL 12, 2019 - 12:30 AM - An extra photo added from Twitter user @TheMysciraBound that I asked her to send me, because it was a bit more crisp & clear front shot than any I got of Reverse Flash (I believe for a stunt scene).

UPDATED: APRIL 16, 2019 - 7:45 PM - More photos added, from night 2 of filming at the bottom. Plus some details on the last night of filming.

The Flash returns to TV for the end of season run on The CW in the U.S. on Tuesday after a few weeks off with the episode that I shot a couple months ago HERE and a short video HERE.

Night 2 of shooting had much of the same..... except this time, there was the always present random smoke that The CW shows love to use so much. I think maybe 3 or 4 times in my life have I walked down a street or past an alley and seen as much steam/smoke coming out of it as these shows claim exists. Sometimes I find the smoky effect helps with photos, sometimes it hinders. On this night, I would say hinders. Especially when saddled with the fact I had to shoot from an extra 25 metres away this time.

All the same cast were on set, again, shooting scenes with all the heroes, and Iris, facing off against Thawne. I saw moments where Killer Frost, Vibe, and Elongated Man, all at different times, seemed to be trying to use their powers. I am not sure what the context was of them using them, but each of them at some point seem to be using their special skills in this battle.

At the end of the night, which was just a shade before 5:30 AM, the cast left. I chatted with Grant about his new hairdo while signed a few autographs for me, and he assured me it wont be on screen like that. He was going to be in his costume for the scenes after when he got the cut, so it was all good for continuity. So dont worry fans, Barry did not lose a fight with a razor. I chatted with Hartley and Jessica for a moment, and told both of them to enjoy their breaks, and they both thanked me for saying so. Of course, the big moment came when Carlos Valdes was leaving. I asked him again, as I did back during filming for episode 17, if he was coming back. This time, his answer was an emphatic "of course", and I said "ok, great, guess I'll see you next season" and he replied back "and I'll see YOU next season". So it sounds like you can count in Carlos for at least 1 more season on The Flash.

That was the end of season 5 of The Flash filming.
Enjoy these extra few (albeit quite grainy/fuzzy due to how far away I had to stand) photos from night #2 of filming.
