Special special effects

[thistlechaser]

In this season of Game of Thrones, there was a big battle. Supposedly one of the biggest ever made for television. I hadn't realized how much of it was done with special effects (basically, almost all of it).

I'd say that even if you haven't seen the season yet, this video is only minorly spoilery. You should probably skip it if you want to avoid all spoilers, but be sure to bookmark it to watch later, because it's really cool to see how they did it all.

Oh I'm so glad they didn't use real horses! This was amazing, thank you.

I know they're careful with horses (and all animals) when they filmed, but I was concerned about them as well. Impressive that they were able to do this much with effects!
