The cast and crew for Reverse Flash: Origins, filmed in 115 degree weather during episode one. Colin K. Bass had almost passed out during the production of the episode.
Creator Colin K. Bass came up for the idea of "Reverse Flash: Origins" while researching the role of Eobard Thawne for another series called, "Cosplay Shorts". When he couldn't find a decent origin story for Eobard, he decided to create one himself.
With out the show, Arrow, and the actor, Stephen Amell, "Reverse Flash: Origins" wouldn't have been possible.
