The CW debuted a sneak peek of The Flash in a crossover event, as audiences tuned into the season finale of Arrow. The promo featured visual effects by Encore VFX.
In addition to the promo, Encore handled VFX for The Flash pilot, and with the show officially greenlit, the company is set to deliver VFX for future episodes.
Encore VFX supervisor Armen Kevorkian, who recently won an Emmy and VES Award for work on Banshee, was on-set in Vancouver for both the pilot and promo shoots. “Bringing the Flash character to life comes with a lot of fan expectation and hype. I hope what we’ve created rings true with viewers and immerses them into the story,” he said.
The Flash series will be the origin story of forensic scientist Barry Allen, who can move at superhuman speeds following a freak accident.
