“With that increase in size - and they really are big this year - there’s much more screen space to cover, and that demands a much greater degree of complexity.” “The dragons started out as kitten-sized babies, then they grew to children, then teenagers - they’ve just become bigger and bigger,” says Sven Martin, Visual Effects Supervisor at Pixomondo. During the second season Pixomondo was the only vendor on the show, working on matte paintings, set extensions, dire wolf integrations and more across all ten episodes.Īs the show has grown beyond a one-vendor set-up, and those magnificent dragons have increased in both size and complexity, Pixomondo has become primarily responsible for the CG dragons, and as you would imagine, that’s no mean feat. Responsibility for the creation of these reptilian fire-breathers has been with VFX studio Pixomondo since season two. And yet for all the unfurling of dramatic tension and heart-stopping plot twists, one of the most impressive elements of the show remains its CG centerpiece - the majestic dragons that emerged with Daenerys from that smoldering pyre. Murder, intrigue, Machiavellian scheming of the highest order - we’ve seen a great deal happen in the Seven Kingdoms and beyond over the past five years.

Thankfully one of the shows dragon wranglers, Pixomondo, has been on the show since season 2, and with cineSync on its side there’s no challenge it can’t tackle. Martin’s fertile imagination from the page to the screen is no easy task - especially when that means creating three fully-grown CG fire-breathers.
