yeah, tell me about it... in one instance I used to work for 14 or 15 hours a day... it was a nightmare...

@@Blogverso yesterday, I just did exactly that without any food or water from 8am until 11.30pm. By the time, I had finished, there were no buses and I had to pay £40 for an uber and I was in uni for so long that I had to have an argument with security to not lock the building so I could finish working

And underpaid.

Yeah the time to produce alone they are tortured by deadlines.

The first rule of Fight Club is; We don't talk about Fight Club.

As the guy from rocketJump said "When the CGI is good no one will notice it. When the CGI is bad everyone will notice it".

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.

***** Someone once said: The best visual effects are those you don't even notice.

Its ok, you're not supposed to "pay attention to detail". You're supposed to be so engrossed in the story & acting and emotions that you lose yourself, or at least that part of your analytical self and just absorb the scenes.

Wow even here :D

You know it :)

System509 FUCK YOU RICK BURMAN

You know they have best software and computers that makes it a lot easier

pie n chips you seem like you don’t have an idea about what you’re talking at all. Learning 3D software is easy, doing stuff is Hard. The computer doesn’t help you at all with that’s, everything is handmade. Only thing servers do is rendering.

pie n chips yeah you just push a button and it's done ,lol you clearly know nothing, it's just a huge amount of work

Software is just a tool, like clay, you still have to sculpt everything manually, its not automatic.

vfx artists are never well payed

Yeah, as others pointed out, it's the opposite unfortunately. They are paid more than the average worker, sure, but they also work insane amounts of hours and tremendous stress. It's cool to work in the movie industry, for sure, but burnout and health issues are extremely common in the industry. I'm glad I work in other artistic fields, but I have acquaintances in the industry. They totally don't get the money they'd deserve :/

CGI workers are the prototype of the proletariat of the XXI century. The mass of them, those sweating out for the most hard work, not the technical directors, are paid a lot less of the consuming of their lives behind the screens, the rest is the profit for the capitalists. A lot of hours + high productivity = massive profits. Also, they continuously have to adapt to the automation of their work to escape unemployment by robotization of processes; figure in a not so distant future, TD will require (or only imagine in his head) "a monster like godzilla but with more spikes on the arms is walking through the interior of a spaceship like millennium falcon crunching thousands of bugs spreading out from the floors etc etc, " and the Artificial Intelligent agent will render immediately hundreds types of previews human eye cannot distinguish from reality...

The president gets paid $1 per year but I get what you mean

Riwaj Chalise they're not the main CHARACTERS, but one of the main creators

Shut the fuck up

I hope you are living your dream!

Yes, loves that too.

+Ey3shi3ld im still pissed about red wedding

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!

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

+Copacetic That spoils the fun and your experience, caz possibly every frame is post-processed to some extent.

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!

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?

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.

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"

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))

+Ben on PC Depends, there are many jobs presented here, 3D artist, digital animator, VFX Specailist are only some of jobs involved here.

Game of Chairs

Yeah that was the low point in the CGI, should have probably used an actual robot instead. The dragons are really good for a full CGI model, which is really hard.

Once upon a time doesn't have the budget sadly.

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.

Most of the time, nuke is used to make the tracking but mocha is also used

This isn't a full on historical medieval show, it's fantasy. There's dire wolves and wyverns in here wtf.

They use MS Paint, it is a professional image editing software, very powerful at even the lowest pixel level
