Green screen, blue screen, set extensions, welcome to the world of Hollywood movie making. Everything is not what it seems. This Game of Thrones VFX breakdown showcases Pixomondo, the German-founded studio that became the show’s primary effects vendor starting with season 2, handling everything from dragon growth shots to full-CG battle sequences. Pixomondo won a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for the ‘Blackwater’ episode in 2012, beating out fellow genre show Defiance the following year for the same category.
