Are you a film student looking to sharpen your craft? Look no further than HBO’s Game of Thrones. With weekly making-of videos for some of the biggest scenes of the season, this show offers one of the best resources for understanding how a film gets made – from concept to screen. And it’s not just commentary and behind-the-scenes videos – since the Battle of The Bastards, most episodes have been offering insight into how these scenes actually get made.
Take, for example, the Loot Train Attack in Episode 5. This video is a must-watch for directors and production designers, as it offers a central point of view for directing a battle and highlights how the crew made the location look like it had been scorched by a dragon. Or check out the Naval Battle in Episode 2 for a great demonstration of the collaboration between SFX and VFX departments.
But it’s not just the featured videos that offer valuable insights. HBO also released three short videos about different creative areas of the show – the music, the costumes, and the special effects. These videos explore elements of filmmaking that often get overlooked by cinematography and VFX tasters.
