Game Of Thrones Special Effects Revealed In New Season 3 Video
While we would all love to believe that Game Of Thrones is filmed on location in far off remote areas, the truth is far different. The hit Showtime series is actually filmed largely in front of green screens onto which the backgrounds are added during the shows post production editing process.
While the scenes for Game Of Thrones look amazingly real, the team at effects studio SpinFX have posted season 2 and season 3 trailers that showcase several GoT scenes with their special effects removed from the equation.
The trailer shown above features several seasons from season 3 and was uploaded to YouTube on August 13, 2013. To date, the video has received 151,000 views.
From climbing a simple staircase to marveling at an entire army from atop a castle wall, the special effects artists for Game Of Thrones have been very active in the overall look associated with the GoT world.
While shows like the The Sopranos and House of Cards have changed the TV landscape by offering clever and real-world dialogue and themes, it’s shows like Game Of Thrones that showcase an entirely new level of TV production values.
