This Is How They Film Scenes With Dragons On “Game Of Thrones”

Mother of dragons have three dragons — Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion — have always been an important part of Game of Thrones.

But in Season 7, Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons have played very significant roles during battles with the Lannisters and the White Walkers.

HBO released a new video for fans in which we can see what it looks like to film scenes with these “dragons.” 

“We’ve modeled the dragon and then laser cut this full-scale giant piece of polystyrene to create a section of the dragon’s back that is living on the island at the frozen lake,” visual effects producer Steve Kullback said.

In the video, Emilia Clarke (who plays Daenerys) also explained how difficult it was to film on a fake dragon while trying to get into character.

“I’ve never flown on a dragon, and to just harness that power, can you even imagine?”
