The scene of the death of Ramsay Bolton from the fangs of his dogs had to look even more disgusting
The death of one of the main villains of “Game of thrones” in the finale of the sixth season of the show had to be even more bloody. About this publication Variety said the representative of the Image Engine, the company that created many memorable scenes from the sixth season.
The scene of the death of Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Reon) from the fangs of his dogs had to look even more disgusting. “This scene was created in several stages, – explained the supervisor of special effects Image Engine Matt Krenz. – Did you use a separate pass dog on the “green screen”, and then Ramsey on the “green screen”, and then we all combined”. Also, the artists have created jaw Ramsey with CG and to “revive” it so that it was seen as torn flesh, exposing the gums. The effect was so terrible even by the standards of “Game of thrones” that it was decided to “slow down” and to use the song, made in 2D.
The creative team Image Engine was responsible for 72 on-screen death, which occurred in 10 episodes of the season. Among the dead: 22 killed by the sword, 14 with a slit throat, pierced with one lance and one devoured by dogs (Bolton). The professionals of the company have done a great job to every death was memorable. “Some of the shots are very specific, for example, when someone smashes his head on the wall, – has explained the leading expert Edwin Holdsworth. To make it look realistic, we shot the real meat at the moment of impact. We used the same technology when shot detached from the body hands. The best way to achieve the desired degree of “Gore” to tear apart the meat and use it as an accompaniment. It will look more realistic, believe me!”.
But the company Image Engine is not only “blood and flesh”. On account of its beautiful buildings such as the Citadel with its huge astrolabe and the Wall of ice where is Night watch.
Recall that the “Game of thrones” has received numerous technical awards Creative Arts Emmys 2016″, including visual effects. The premiere of the seventh season of “Game of thrones” will take place in mid-2017 on HBO.
