200 Seconds of Game of Thrones VFX Awesomeness
I’ve spoken before about how I love Game of Thrones, and I love virtual/special effects behind-the-scenes looks. So I really love this look at the VFX of Game of Thrones season two, all the way from the wildfire attack on Blackwater Bay down to Melissandre’s shadow baby/assassin thing… as well as how they transformed many, many locations into GRRM’s world. Good times! /oh god when will season 3 get here (Via Westeros)
