GAME OF THRONES - Season 8 - VFX Breakdown Reel | PIXOMONDO

Check out our stunning VFX making of for "Game Of Thrones - Season 8",
featuring the work of our talented artists at PIXOMONDO!
We are very proud to raise and accompany the dragons for a total of 9 years.
From babies to grown-ups we've enjoyed adventurous moments - learning to fire blast, fly, hunt, dive, and fight. But we are especially proud of all the intimate moments when they first met Tyrion and Jon. And foremost of the tender, carefully orchestrated relationship to their mother Daenerys.
Being on this fantastic journey with Joe and Steve over all these years - a rarity in our current industry - makes us very proud!
We would like to thank the HBO Visual Effects Team,
especially Joe Bauer, Steve Kullback, Adam Chazen, Holly Schiffer, Greg Spence & Mara Mikialian
for the continued creative guidance in bringing dragons to life.
Special thanks to our amazing Artist at PIXOMONDO for their outstanding work on season 2 through 8!

I don’t like the way the story ended, but the CGI, costumes, set design, soundtrack, etc. in the last season are amazing😍I especially love the CGi dragons they look so good

[@scottcourtney8878]

The creative pros on this team are absolutely masters of their craft. For all of us working in any kind of graphics or animation, works like this set the bar very, very high. Magnificent.

[@MateusSilva-fm2zc]

Guys, what an amazing piece of art! One of the best CGI that I have ever seen. Congrats!

[@Hunter-tv3wh]

Well, but i have seen a better dragon than this and it is O smaug from the hobbit movie..it is amazing

[@MateusSilva-fm2zc]

@@Hunter-tv3wh I cannot deny it, Smaug is amazing. But we're looking at two different Audiovisual media, I can't remember seeing dragons like those on TV series (even in the movies pheraps)... But I agree with you, Smaug is gorgeous. Now I'm excited to see what those VFX artists have made with King Ghdiroah.

1:12 The Maya rig...i guess it has a high degree of automation, i was expecting more controllers. The guy who did the skinning deserves all the respect :)

[@venkyreddy8765]

Thanks to the all inventors, the way they invent the CGI is simply incredible and outstanding ❤️🥺

[@CitizenZero1]

If only the writing of season 8 could have have reached even 10% of your talent level… I hope you guys made out OK. I know how ruthless CGI can be.

[@AshleyAlyse]

Dammit, now I need to binge watch it again. You guys did an amazing job.

[@xyoxus]

Fantastic work. If only the story of the show wouldn't have been burnt down like Dany did with Kingslanding...

[@plisskenetic]

WRONG the story was amazing to say the least, just not for the likes of you whiners

[@mvmed12]

@@plisskenetic oh fuck off ! Season 8 had more argumental holes than a ps bug

[@darj617]

Great stuff as always. I wonder if it made sense to you guys how a dragon can get killed mid flight by a scorpion bolt shot from a ship that's supposed to be hiding in ambush? My puny brain can't wrap itself around that image.

[@pixomondo]

We actually did not work on that killing shot. Another vendor did.

[@panicabbie18]

Weta Digital killed Rhaegal...

[@fang609]

@@pixomondo well that explains why Rhaegal's model looks different from the one you guys had made for season 6 and 7.

[@vaneeuwen29422]

@@panicabbie18 Season 7 dragons were done by Image Engine, Pixomondo and Rhythm and Hues.

[@panicabbie18]

@@vaneeuwen29422 I think they did a better Job, honestly. Drogon was a bit larger than his siblings and they show'd that size difference in season 7 a lot better. Season 8 gave us smaller dragons it seems.

[@jaycobokpako8782]

this is breathtaking. One day. I will own a studio like Pixomondo and it will be called Pixelated.

[@AlexanderMinelli-MiamiDream]

Astonishing ❤

[@sunshinething]

That was cool.

[@inspirationalgoosebumps6006]

Damn are you guys even humans ? So frekin realistic art.

[@claytomcs]

amazing work, were all scenes rendered in vray?

[@clovisno756]

Claytom Ferreira I believe so yes

[@Hunter-tv3wh]

Lol, they dont use vray or something like this...they have their own software which is not available to public

[@claytomcs]

Hi! Animation in MAYA ? And VFX - fire, destraction - what software ? Houdini ?

FX were with Houdini

[@Hunter-tv3wh]

Its absolutely houdini and for animation they use motion capture and autodesk maya...

Where can i buy all the series seasons about G.of Th. ?? Because i have no cable to watching them...😔😔

[@thushi4107]

I think this vfx breakdown video needed a vfx team

[@ragibrahman9594]

wait. i thought drogon was a lot bigger. did they mess up his size this season?

[@alienpioneer]

@Rush Rushed In order to accommodate the "in frame composition" , some graphic elements are always scaled up or down. Sometime people too are isolated and scaled in frame to +/- 15% , depending the shot. The composition is crucial and a lot of time and effort is spent even for no vfx movies to get the lighting or the arrangement correct. The basic rule of thirds for example is king and can be observed in any movie these days and in static shots lighting emphasizes elements of interest like characters eyes or expression, but with dynamic shots, things are more complicated.

very sad when she died 🤧I was angry at the time

[@RoseMarieLeo1Boca]

A+++ So talented A #musk see #elonmusk

[@Hunter-tv3wh]

The dragon looks good than other movies except the one and it is (O smaugh) dragon from the movie of the hobbit of the battle of five armies... Weta digital is good at animals animation than pixomondo...but pixomondo is also good at some other works...

[@jam7778]

Amm. Nope. Smaug is garbage. Bad cgi. Drogon much more better. Get check your eyes, please

[@emilyrainflower25]

If drogon was smart enough to burn the throne and not Jon, how could he possibly not be smart enough to not hunt down screaming women and children. Nothing about season 8 made sense, not even the dragons. It’s like they didn’t bother to think about it.
