Game of Thrones finale: CGI tricks

Adelaide-based FX specialists Rising Sun Pictures recently released a clip that shows how they replicated the sprawling city of King’s Landing and its central shrine, the Great Sept of Baelor, and then burnt them to the ground for the season finale of Game of Thrones.

New to the Game of Thrones production team, RSP created visual effects for several episodes of the show’s recently concluded sixth season. Most of the work centred on King’s Landing and the Sept as artists produced photo-realistic CG set extensions and architectural enhancements that were blended with location footage to create the luxurious, walled city overlooking the sea.At Rising Sun Pictures (RSP) we create inspirational visual effects for major studios worldwide.
