The Flash was on location for the season 8 cross over Armageddon. Yesterday I caught up with them filming part 2 of their 5 part cross over event. This episode is being directed by Menhaj Huda.

On this day, the cast & crew were shooting scenes in Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver. The scenes were done almost entirely in the pouring rain, which varied between a light mist, and a downpour throughout the day. At the beginning of the day, they were doing a stunt scene that had CCPD cars racing down the street, with a Central City Museum truck. As they get to the intersection, an unknown character  (played by Kandyse McClure) is standing there. At the beginning, they had a stunt double there, who would move out of the way as the cars come to a stop. Later they did the scene again, with the stunt double there, then the actress came in to replace her double, to do the close up/speaking part of the role.

After that, Grant Gustin came out, did a run through rehearsal in his own clothes, before leaving to get ready to film. The actress was still there during the run through, but I never saw a scene where they were both in together in the scene. But they were still filming when I finally left. So perhaps it was a really late scene.

At one point the rain was really intense, and I'm not saying its a coincidence, buuut, they didnt do a single thing for about 90 minutes. For about 30 of those minutes, they had the background people standing out in the rain, in position, just waiting to work. Eventually they gave up waiting for the downpour to break, and eventually did work through it. When they did, Grant came out in his Flash suit, and did a scene where he comes zipping in, and seems to attempt to run at something (I assume this mystery woman, but can not confirm it), before he gets stopped. 

They then went on lunch break after that scene. When they were on lunch break, Cody Laudan was out there in his Flash attire doing rehearsals where he was being lifted into the air. I left for a while, as the weather wasnt great. When I returned, Grant & Cody were out there, and I was a little shocked to see that instead of Cody going up in the air, they had Grant all hooked up in the rigging, and he did scenes where he was lifted into the air, laid out on his back, and was screaming, then was turned upright, and held there for a moment, before being let down.

That was all I saw. As I said, they were still shooting when I left. But, it didnt seem like there was going to be much else of note going on. So that is it for now.
 
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.
