The Game of Thrones Season 4 Special Effects Will Amaze You

Updated on July 18, 2014 at 8:37 AM

Season four of Game of Thrones shocked us in ways we didn't think were possible. But the most surprising thing yet is the HBO show's insanely real special effects. Mackevision, the studio behind Game of Thrones's VFX, released a new video revealing the most spectacular computer-generated scenes. Some of the smallest details — banners, fog, an added rock here and there — were animated to match the vivid descriptions in George R.R. Martin's series. Who knew that all of the scenes at sea weren't actually filmed on water at all! Watch the full featurette below.
