Hardhome Visual Effects Breakdown

Visual effects and digital postproduction company El Ranchito Imagen Digital shows us what they did to make one battle scene in the Game of Thrones episode entitled “Hardhome.” There is a terrific amount of work to make every little detail of a fantasy world mesh together to create a seamless sequence. You can imagine how much digital effects work went into the entire season!

Does this contain spoilers? I don’t think the video tells us anything major: there’s a battle scene, with some supernatural characters, but we don’t see who wins. I can understand why they release these effects videos after the season ends, because it will challenge your suspension of disbelief to imagine the actors doing their stuff in separate studios, in front of green screens, without the thundering hordes of the finished product. -via Uproxx
