ΜΙΝΙΑΤURES  /  HOUSE OF THE DRAGON SEASON 1 (2022)

The iconic landmark Runestone Castle as a tabletop miniature, one of several vfx miniatures and elements we created for HBO's multi award-winning Games of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon (2022).

 

Shot by Visual Effects Supervisor Angus Bickerton against sea and sky and composited with the live-action plate.

House of the Dragon (2022) was a 2023 BAFTA for outstanding Visual Effects in the Best Special Visual & Graphic Effects category.
