![Game of Thrones VFX Team Shows Us How It's Done [VIDEO]](/assets/uploads/med2a8408_c484_45eb_b882_20b51d8af68d/2012/Sep/wildfire_300x168_300x168.jpg)
We still have to wait over half a year for season three of Game of Thrones to premiere (sob), and while there aren’t any trailers or official promo pics yet, this video breakdown of season two’s visual effects is pretty cool. Released on the heels of the show’s Creative Arts Emmy win for Outstanding Special Visual Effects (one of six awards it won at the Creative Arts Emmys, held last Saturday), it gives a neat look at how the show’s effects team creates dragons, wildfire, creepy shadow babies, towering castles, and majestic scenery, all set to music from the show. Check it out after the jump—you know want an excuse to listen to the theme song again.
If you just want to watch the video, go straight to the YouTube. The background swapping is to-die-for amazing.

Stephen Fry watches on as rare parrot Sirocco the Kakapo (an endangered rare, fat, flightless parrot) attempts a mating ritual with zoologist Mark Carwardine…
The shag may have went on for a little too long.

Methinks Bob did not quite understand the original phrase. From Bob the Squirrel by cartoonist Frank Page.
How many shiver me timbers did you get in?

“When fire ants are gathered into a group, they act like a fluid, as depicted above in a scene, arranged by the researchers, that could be called either whimsical or the stuff of nightmares.”
Looks delicious.

Weather delayed last night’s Pirates-Cubs bout at Wrigley Field for several hours, and by the end of the 3-0 Pittsburgh win there weren’t many fans left in the stadium. There was, however, one guy who really wanted to get on TV making blowjob faces.
He was probably more entertaining than the game.
