I felt the same, initially. Of course, I made sure to take more in on my rewatches. But, when you think about it, they made this world so real that we just accept it as reality without scrutiny. If they hadn't spent so much time on all this detail, the viewer would not have such a realistic experience.

I really hate CGI when you see it. That being said, GoT most of the times does a REALLY great job on using it seamlessly. Except for the dragons of course, but that is kinda obvious. When CGI is used to extend or change existing sets it can do so much great stuff and it's really impressive. Especially the crowd shots, buildings/structures and the landscapes are beautiful, great work. And I really appreciate that they avoid CG fire.

The rest was ok but 7 was slow.

I love the visuals as well, but the design team didn't really think about the fact that dragons have 4 legs and 2 wings and can breathe fire, whilst wyverns have 2 legs, 2 wings, and cannot breathe fire. So the "dragons" of the show are basically wyverns that can breathe fire...

@henriquepaes9239 жыл бұрын
toofastandtoofurious The wyvern has often been confused with the dragon due to the similarities between the two and due to the wyvern ultimately being a lesser-known mythical creature. However, in fantasy and heraldry, the wyvern is considered to be the distant, lesser cousin to the dragon, similar to a dog being the distant cousin to the wolf. Wyverns tend to be smaller, weaker, not as intelligent, and ultimately inferior to the much more ferocious and powerful dragon. While a dragon almost always has the capability to breathe fire (though other types of breath such as lightning have been seen as well), a wyvern will usually be unable to breathe fire. Those who can breathe fire are often termed "fire drakes" and are still considered a lesser form. Also, typically a wyvern will be unable to speak, while a dragon often does have the ability. The most distinctive difference between the two is a dragon has either zero or four legs, while a wyvern always has two legs.[3]Various depictions in pop culture have also controversially labeled wyverns as dragons. Notable examples are the TV depiction of Game of Thrones, the 2002 film Reign of Fire,[4] the 1981 film Dragonslayer,[5] the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Harry Potter films, and the Hobbit films.[6] It could, however, be argued that the creators of these franchises can call the fictional creatures that they have created whatever they want.

Thats the kind of detail, I totally miss in the new Seasons (6&7). The Hound grabs an axe to go, hunt the brotherhood? Yeah man, but the axe is just one, we casually bought at the market. We have a scene where all characters meet in Kings Landing? Just use some kind of modern stage with mountings of Iron, which definitely look completely new. Not to speak of the chipboard, that didn't really exist in mediavel times... I think, thats all, because they have to deliver so fast and have to make it all happen in one year to the next season. So, there is no place for details like in this video...

Dude! C'mon! Really? Dragons?! Real? You think because santa can deliver gift in one night anything can be posible? Get real!
I think Mr. Catala was joking aswell ;)
Neither their mother!
Wow , this is just amazing , they put so much efforts in some scene we may barely noticed when watch the show
Speak for yourself
Holy shit they actually burned someone? LOL
They burned so many people during the fighting pits in mereen in season 5 or the battle with jaime in season 7, it is awesome xD I think their record is something like 20-25 people being burned at once :D
You'd be surprised how many people get burned as a job
OMG that bear pit dumbfounded me!!!
Look at ygritte's and jon's face at 1:13 LOOOOL
my god these people r greater than artists they're magicians! artistic magic unbelievable! beautiful!
The visual fx works are amazing!!! Really thought it was a real boat...
"The dragons are the size of swans now, so they're huge... Haha, best quote...
I really hate CGI when you see it. That being said, GoT most of the times does a REALLY great job on using it seamlessly. Except for the dragons of course, but that is kinda obvious. When CGI is used to extend or change existing sets it can do so much great stuff and it's really impressive. Especially the crowd shots, buildings/structures and the landscapes are beautiful, great work. And I really appreciate that they avoid CG fire.
The amount of people I see in these comments appreciating VFX work is truly wholesome. So often this kind of work goes unnoticed and underappreciated by executives and some amount of the general audience. It thrills me to see the support that a lot of you are giving to the artists on this show, y'all rock :)
work of art
It's funny; you watch GoT and you just take for granted all these amazing things that are happening. You see them climbing a giant ice wall and you just accept it. This video was so interesting. It will make me look a little harder at each scene and try and see how they did it.
+Copacetic That spoils the fun and your experience, caz possibly every frame is post-processed to some extent.
Blows my mind the awesome way all the talent of these special effects artist make everything so real life . Just wanted to say many thanks for all your hard work folks :D
Just astonishing amazing
Season 3-4 are seriously my fav seasons lol arya/the hound made me happy as well as ygritte/Jon snow
So....friggin.....COOL!!
5:16 Congratulations, You've caught a wild Drapion.
incredible.
So a beautiful serie ! And the CGI team are just so powerfull, if there wasn't here, GOT wouldn't have existed !
Wow guys amazing job on VFX! Love the books and love the show! Thank You!
the pre vises are gold
Amazing show
Omygad this job is sooooooo awesome
Even though season 8 story was pretty bad, the VFX and scale in S8 was unmatched. The VFX team really took it to a level that television has never gone before. It was block buster movie quality.
Back when the show was at it's peak :(
wow that was awesome !
A lot of people complain about the overuse of VFX. When I watch movies I lose myself in the story. When the FX are topnotch it's definitely easier. But even just solid FX can take you places if you let them! GOT are some of the best.
I think when it’s painstakingly obvious it’s VFX… people don’t like it. When it looks blended in, natural, people don’t notice it, which is the goal!
top notch!
Thanks!
Amazing job on rhe dragons-
Without this the reason why I watched this series
I went to a Mexican restaurant for taco Tuesday jalapeno & spices. Afterwards I got the mariachi to play a song of ass on fire
Respect for the animators
IT's Amazing
I live their hardwork like HAIL
season 3 was the best of all Game of Thrones series. 5 is just......
ji yeon park All is best :)
ji yeon park t-ara fan :3
+Puya Puya No I agree. Season 5 was the least exciting season of all. I think that's normal, tho. It was a pre-season to prepare season 6's real shit going on. And season 6 is actually going pretty well now !
Paul Jenkins Well now that we've seen all the episodes, I would say season 6 is a mix kind of good and bad episodes. The last two episodes were gold, possibly the best ones we've ever seen so far, episode 5 was incredible too. But episode 8 was seriously the most disappointing episode I've ever EVER watched. The rest was ok but 7 was slow.
The battle at hardhome?
LOL 2:02
wooow! pienso que los actores parecen nada comparado con esto... ahora me voy a dar cuenta de más cosas cuando la vea ^^ que padre!
lol I was in the middle of watching a GoT episode which prompted me to look up a YT video about VFX. Didn't realize I was going to find a specific video about GoT though
lol kristofer hivju is just the same as his character in game of thrones..
it is interesting to see what they choose to make with cg and what to shoot in the reality. They have literally the ability the produce the whole thing with cg technique but with all kind of considerations they didn’t, the reasons behind really worth thinking twice.
its alot of hard work🥺
Thanks for this. what an amazing spell of tv and anyone who overly scrutinizes it needs a hobby. This accomplishment is easssily on par with Lord of the Rings. debate me let's go. let's fight that comment while people worldwide starve. bravo to the crew and cast of Game of Thrones.
nice video!
16:47 cool queens don't look at explosions
I want those dragon statues :)
but then you would have a dragon statue that looks nothing like a game of throne dragon! really sad they didn't mix real world models and CGI for this, it would have made it a bit better even.
15:41 That looks so cool.
Badly want to to be the part of the team. My dream. Not particular in GoT, but all these kinds of stuff. That is the kind of outfit I want to wear at work. Casual.
"The dragons are now the size of swans... so they're huge" Boy do they not know whats coming to them
11:36 wow I thought this place was mostly real lul good job!
It's amazing when they blend their setbuilding with visual effects in such a way that you totally buy it, and don't even consciously think "Oh I'm looking at effects"
good jobs
I wonder what sort of program you need to paste video?
I don't trust anyone any more after I watched this video
is that one dude Sam Crac? Steve Kullback
My bread and butter kind of work
I'm just seeing this in 2019.
"First time you seen a man run like he's shit his pants with a giant pole and a red light on it Jon Snow?"
The only problem in the visual effects of this show, is that they make it so dark that you can see anything, dkw...
its not the idea to brag their capacities, intead the intention is to merge with the original footage thing that is achieved (in many cases in darken images (like the war of witerfell in the last episode))
what subject would i have to study to be able to do this sort of thing?
+Ben on PC Depends, there are many jobs presented here, 3D artist, digital animator, VFX Specailist are only some of jobs involved here.
your penis
Le sigh... I so so soooo miss doing this stuff. But.. my daughter was cuter than the guys I had to coat in latex.But this stuff is so fun to do . Nothing feels so good as figuring out how to do something 3 days ago, you said you could do , but had no clue how it was going to happen.
RIP Seasons 5 to 8
Why not create polystyrene blocks? No effence to the job that have been done of course, i'm just curious.
what software used to match camera from real to virtual?
Most of the time, nuke is used to make the tracking but mocha is also used
From Babylon 5 to this. How visual effects had changed in TV.
if only once upon a time had the special effects of game of thrones.....
Once upon a time doesn't have the budget sadly.
My skin iron, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, my wings are a hurricane. but i love my mommy.
you should watch naga indosiar, the best CGI in my country
1:45 Thats the Game of Thrones i wanna watch.
Game of Chairs
What Programs did they used ?
This was all recorded using smartphones with a customized Pokemon Go app.
What program did they use for this?
***** they use more than after effects.. NukeX, Fusion, Hiero, Houdini for the compositing.. and 3DSMax, Maya for the 3d.. After effects can work for the simple shots but lacks a true 3D support system, something that NukeX offers.
Cinema 4D
Windows Movie Maker
***** HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHA i'm laughing so hard
CG done RIGHT!
Ya veo porque se limitan a hacer solamente unos 10 episodios por cada libro, un episodio ha de valer millones, no creo que haya tanto presupuesto para extender la serie a cada detalle como lo relata el libro.
Bear fight was In ep 7
Are there any Dragons? I think they are Wyverns? Btw, CGI works are perfect...
yup, those are indeed wyverns.
I love the visuals as well, but the design team didn't really think about the fact that dragons have 4 legs and 2 wings and can breathe fire, whilst wyverns have 2 legs, 2 wings, and cannot breathe fire. So the "dragons" of the show are basically wyverns that can breathe fire...
***** Wyverns are basically a type of dragon. Also, everyone knows what dragons are. Most people haven't heard of wyverns.
They're making the show. If they want, their dragons can have 80 legs and breathe poison.
toofastandtoofurious The wyvern has often been confused with the dragon due to the similarities between the two and due to the wyvern ultimately being a lesser-known mythical creature. However, in fantasy and heraldry, the wyvern is considered to be the distant, lesser cousin to the dragon, similar to a dog being the distant cousin to the wolf. Wyverns tend to be smaller, weaker, not as intelligent, and ultimately inferior to the much more ferocious and powerful dragon. While a dragon almost always has the capability to breathe fire (though other types of breath such as lightning have been seen as well), a wyvern will usually be unable to breathe fire. Those who can breathe fire are often termed "fire drakes" and are still considered a lesser form. Also, typically a wyvern will be unable to speak, while a dragon often does have the ability. The most distinctive difference between the two is a dragon has either zero or four legs, while a wyvern always has two legs.[3]Various depictions in pop culture have also controversially labeled wyverns as dragons. Notable examples are the TV depiction of Game of Thrones, the 2002 film Reign of Fire,[4] the 1981 film Dragonslayer,[5] the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Harry Potter films, and the Hobbit films.[6] It could, however, be argued that the creators of these franchises can call the fictional creatures that they have created whatever they want.
Thats the kind of detail, I totally miss in the new Seasons (6&7). The Hound grabs an axe to go, hunt the brotherhood? Yeah man, but the axe is just one, we casually bought at the market. We have a scene where all characters meet in Kings Landing? Just use some kind of modern stage with mountings of Iron, which definitely look completely new. Not to speak of the chipboard, that didn't really exist in mediavel times... I think, thats all, because they have to deliver so fast and have to make it all happen in one year to the next season. So, there is no place for details like in this video...
This isn't a full on historical medieval show, it's fantasy. There's dire wolves and wyverns in here wtf.
anybody knows what kind of software they used?tahnks
They use MS Paint, it is a professional image editing software, very powerful at even the lowest pixel level
sketch up + podium for rendering
Dude, that was real fn bear???? Always thought it was CG
Poor Emilia, must be boring to deal with that green stick for days.
2:25 the dragon are size of swan and they are huge
So basically only the actors are real 🐰
It's incrible!!
So sad I'm trying to forget about so...
"The dragons are the size of swans right now, so they are huge"..........yeah......they get.........bigger....
if you look at the dragon twice scene , you will realize it was not realistic enough .. why this always happen ? ...
i though those dragons were real
