Interesting Facts

1. The coronavirus greatly influenced the plans of the film crew. In order to continue working in a safe environment and at the same time not violate the deadlines, season 6 was released in 5 episodes in short – actor Grant Gustin was the first to report this in a TV interview. In March 2021, Season 7 was released, consisting of the usual 23 episodes.
2. The Flash’s suit color scheme consists of “burgundy red”, a golden hue and was designed by Colleen Atwood, who is responsible for the costume of another character in the DC Universe – Arrow. These colors allowed animators to more successfully overlay computer graphics and smooth out errors.
3. Most of the epic action scenes are done on a huge chroma key. When leaving for Vancouver, the cameraman only removes the atmosphere and only then a previously filmed scene is superimposed on it. Rarely do the actors have to travel with the film crew to specific locations.
