Inside the Craft: Armor & The Gold Cloaks

Armor Supervisor Simon Brindle, Costume Designer Jany Temime and more explore how they developed the armor for each character and the unique designs behind the gold cloaks armor.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

I love how unique the armor is in the GOT / HOTD universe, These guys are masters of the craft

[@Helix8238]

Maesters of the craft*

[@CommanderLongJohn]

*HOTD GoT "armor" [more like the lack thereof] was atrocious

[@thenickfoxx]

​@@CommanderLongJohnthink you're in the minority there.

[@CommanderLongJohn]

@thenickfoxx Lmfao I'm absolutely not, the TV show had the most piss poor 'armor design' and lack thereof in virtually any fantasy/medieval medium I've ever seen, despite the fact the source material has some of the sickest drip in all of fictional literature.

[@thenickfoxx]

@@CommanderLongJohn Can you tell me of some examples you weren't happy with? Excluding season 6-8.

[@thedragondemands5186]

It’s nice to see Simon Brindle, he’s been the armorer since Game of Thrones season one

[@Lord_Raymund]

Allway love when they make realistic and believable looking stuff.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

I love behind the scenes content, The Armor and wardrobe are magnificent

[@Matt_Nor]

Details that go unnoticed in films and tv series. I appreciate the craft and passion they put into it. By that i mean generally in films and tv series. A tv show or film crew with potentially 100's of people behind working to create a product, an end result we get to enjoy. Like Peter Dinklage said "It's essentially ten hour movies".

[@Divine_Chareka]

I love the amount of detail that went into this show, just like Game of Thrones. Kuddos to the BTS crew they did a wonderful job!

[@mcsage]

The vey minute details that we miss to notice are the ones that naturally makes it more realistic than other shows!

[@Pete_R63]

When you think about how long it takes to produce these costumes and armor, if you realize they have to come up with ideas and designs and some get thrown out and you start over and then they get approved and then you have to begin the arduous task of fabricating it all- well, I guess I can't complain that there is so much time between seasons! ; ) The end result is extraordinary.

[@fanta4897]

HotD definitelly seems like it got armor more right than GoT. Some of it is more realistic, but what I like most about it is how often people in the show wear armor, and that even main characters often don helmets (at least during the tournament, we shall see if this stays during the war too).

[@SerHuntsReviews]

Daemon has the best armor in all of THRONES!

[@og6396]

I never want this universe to end, I love everything that they have created 🤩🙌🏼👏🏼👨🏻‍💻👌🏻

[@joshuaadams6565]

I hope they do justice and give Rhaenyra her black armour from the book when she takes back kingslanding.

[@julianruiz1248]

I wonder what the stark army will look like. Imagine full sallet helmets with the visors and Chainmail suits(basically pre GOT stark armor) And a ton of furs that would be epic

[@LeornianCyng]

The craftsmanship is just so beautiful.

[@thatstarscourgebrother680]

it looks so challenging yet the results looka like magic

[@jo_jo_jo]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jany Temmine's raspy voice is exactly the one I expect from a fashion icon.

[@dahalofreeek]

This show was on around the same time as the Lord of the Rings show. One of the most striking quality differences between the shows is the armour and costumes are bloody splendid in House of the Dragon and rather plain in comparison in the Lord of the Rings show. The Seasnake's armour is probably the best piece of costume on TV since the Homelander costume from the Boys.

[@taya____]

AMAZING WORK 😍

[@mrjunaid8419]

This season also touching my soul after Got Hats off to you and your mindset ❤🎉

[@Mike90317]

Gorgeous!!!

[@LexIconLS]

Not sure why there's a Stark knight at all, but I love the colors and all the different helmets! A huge improvement over GoT.

[@raphaelostrowski6336]

Im thinking the same and he wouldn’t wear that armour. They should have shown a Manderly one instead

[@LexIconLS]

@@raphaelostrowski6336 If there was going to be a Northern knight, that would make the most sense for sure.

[@pbh9195]

They should release behind the scenes teases videos for season 2 like they did with GOT in the past

[@DianaJG8]

Extremely cool!!

[@TundeEszlari]

Awesome video.

[@behurastudio]

[@thedragondemands5186]

_Daemon_ gave them those gold cloaks

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

It's an art.... and it's like an art. It should be auctioned off after the show.... so people can show it off. :)

[@geoninja3631]

[@zachcoles4296]

The armor for the kingsguard and city watch in HOTD is much better looking than GOT. The kingsguard almost give a dragon like appearance

[@MAK9246]

God, I thought this was the Season 2 trailer for a second.

[@hodophile5384]

Part 2 when ?

[@gabb5964]

Pay ur writers. I want season 2!

[@adrianneagoe3652]

The writers strike wont affect season 2. The scrips were finished and revised multiple times by GRRM himself

[@Alex-wh3zw]

Season 2 when ?

[@nicholasricardo8443]

What I find quite bizarre is that 70 years ago Sir Lawrence Olivier, with a far smaller budget, and with basically no real armorers, was able to have full steel armor for Henry V, yet HOTD, with its budget in the tens of millions, cannot find a single of the hundreds of specialized armorers to make real steel armor, that isn't made of floppy polyurethane.

[@ragnarokivae6136]

I wasn't the biggest fan of the game of thrones armours, but the house of the dragon ones look much better

[@TheDovatuxPlaysMC]

How does someone even get into this line of work. Seems so niche

[@StewartFletcher]

Man HOTD looks so much better than GoT, it's CRAZY

[@soundsqueerbutokay]

I love all of these but please just drop the mf trailer for season 2 😢

[@adrianneagoe3652]

They havent finished filming

[@soundsqueerbutokay]

@@adrianneagoe3652 butttt I'm so excited 🥺

[@Relixification]

This video is something Amazon The Rings Of Power can't share nor take pride on from their own work, because the comparison of fidelity is tremendously in favor of House of Dragon Production team.

[@hannibalb8276]

What a dumb, nonsensical take. I love how every low IQ NPC repeats this same script without fail, with only tiny variations. There are like 20 posts already trying to rag on Rings of Power, yall chuds are so predictable, lmao.

[@rakdar1714]

I hoped to have a closer look at all the tourney armors, too bad too little was shown. Anyway, excellent job!

[@raphaelostrowski6336]

They wanted to focus on that birthing scene which was a waste

These people totally ruin the show GOT by ending it in season 8 in only 6 episodes,, which makes no sense at all seriously still today, I feel the pain how come Arya got to kill that horned fu*ker, and why does denariyas have to be killed, but none other than Ageon Targaryen. I want to write ✍️ the remaining plot if HBO will accept.

[@AliDixon95]

Daemon's armour looks way too plastic at points
