On Sunday evening, HBO released a two-hour documentary focusing on the work done by technical experts and producers for massive drama.
"Game of Thrones: The Last Watch" introduced the viewers to the backstage leaders who gave birth to a series full of costumes, wigs, makeup, special effects, numerous lilies, thousands of figurines and a whole-dedicated snow department.
"Last Watch" has long dedicated Bernie Caulfield, a veteran producer who, according to executive producers, David Benioff and DB Weiss, holds the merits of executing the most expensive and most ambitious serial ever. British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay followed the series for a year as they went to Northern Ireland, Croatia and elsewhere last season, which ended on May 19th with record-breaking visibility.
As for the mass of the series, Caulfield resembled the organization of work with the algebraic equation. "We did something confusing. When something worked, we simply recognized it as a fact. "
Following are the six things we learned in "The Last Watch":
Apparently, Kit Harington discovered that Jon Snoë would kill his girlfriend, daenerys Targaryen, while reading the last episode of "The Iron Throne." The kit seems to be touched and leave some tears flowing to the page. Emilia Clarke as well.
Production designer Deborah Riley said that in the last season, the budget amounted to 15 million or more dollars per hour. "When we were shooting the seasons 4, 5,6 and 7, we were just skipping for the tetin," she said.
David Nutter, who was the director of three of the six episodes of the eighth season, explained the importance of all departments working together and coordinating for secondary jobs. "I'm a conductor of talented musicians, just moving the wings," he said.
The documentary highlights the sacrifices that staff members have made to be able to work in serial and travel across Europe. Prosthetic makeup experts, Sarah and Barrie Gower, worked together on the serial and had to leave their little daughter home.
Production offices had stacks filled with shoulders and other body parts.
Among the thousands of details that should be considered, a specific person was tasked with maintaining and maintaining Daenerys platinum parakeet.
