Making Of Game Of Thrones: Season 2 - Art Direction

[Karnaxa]

god im so excited for season 2

[ramakaba]

can hardly wait......

[IskraBiala]

can i work on HBO's GOT for room and board?

[SODEMO2007]

@ndwkn1 true but with more greenscreen they could've afforded more battles and locations etc.

[natp14]

no riverrun?

[lanebatts26]

@ndwkn1 THANK YOU! lets keep things as real as possible people :) looks fantastic

[Testsubject909]

Must... contain... excitemen-hnng.... oh damn... I need to change pants again.

[gelihax]

3 are the white walkers...

[gloopybuger108]

@gelihax 2 are the wildlings...

[Pecc0sa]

The 3 dislikes are Bolton and his leeches

[Pecc0sa]

I thought that women in Qarth left a breast bare as part of their traditional dress...where are all the boobs?!

[SaShAmAmLaZ]

how many money did they spent for serie ?!

[gelihax]

@SaShAmAmLaZ the first season they spent around 50 million dollars which is 312 Million swedish kronor. im from sweden so i just tried to figure it out ant i think im right.

season 2 isnt done yet with the 3 last episodes ( needs more details and shit ) so im not sure how much this will cost, but i dont hink it will cost as much as the first one :)

[gloopybuger108]

@gelihax You sure? Black water seems like it's going to be costly...

[TheTyrfish]

@gloopybuger108 Most likely a rock thrown by Baratheon rockslingers shall hit Tyrion on the head and he'll faint through the entire battle.

[mess40]

Book 4 has been not as bad as I thought it would be. While I still love 3 the best, I feel 4 has more adventure in it...and I hate Daenerys chapters for the most part and she's not in it at all.

[Godhasnotdick]

Great series

[balint23h]

I liked the first 3 books but the 4. and the 5. were such a diappointment...:S

[LOLinflames]

@balint23h 4 was a big letdown from 3. Book 3 finally got me on board on the series completely (especially those last 200 pages) while the first 2 I felt were something that builds up to it

[MegaCubanito2002]

there where no macaws in europe after 1942 they are from south america .you should fix that

[Annyv16]

Za Dubrovnik!!! :P

[TheColaPrince]

@ndwkn1 ...and none of it would have been if the books haven't been written :)

[wossport2011]

wos.in.ua



[amalilconfused]

Wow! I want to work as an apprentice for GoT's production team!

[TheEtaoin]

@Flanneryschickens Believe me, I've already exhausted that avenue hahaha. I check back almost daily to see if there's more news. I can't wait for the paper back of Dance for another preview chapter. I'd say I need a life, but this stuff is worse than drugs TT^TT I am SO excited for the next novel! XD

[MickyNorris91]

Qarth & the Iron Islands both look incredible. Qarth is even better than I pictured it.

[nepherdwen]

awesome people are awesome

[yellowman88]

A lot of my ideas of the Northern region of Westeros and behind the wall is from the world of SKYRIM.

How are they paying for all this.... there sets are magnificent.

[fsmramen]

Ugh, knock me out for 2 months plz.

[nick0at0noon]

It seems like they decided not to have Riverrun. I haven't heard about casting of Cat's brother either. I can't see how they can ignore the Tully's.

[rj2long]

@nick0at0noon from what i've heard they will be in season 2, but were cut from season 1 because there were too many characters to cover and they didn't have a huge part in the first book. i cannot wait to see who plays the blackfish.....

[ehsoftjunkie]

just throwing it out there now. the designers for GOT have done the best job taking descriptions from a book and turning it into a reality on screen. The best of any TV show or movie. Ever. It's exactly how i think most of us imagined it. or better. amazing.

[Eregost2]

Qartheen women are supposed to have a breast hanging out and since when did southern europeans use camels? Qarth should resemble a middle eastern culture. Fail art direction.

[Brutusness]

What I'm wondering is, if they're splitting A Storm of Swords into 2 seasons, are they going to fuse A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons into 1 season because they happen simultaneously?

[TheEtaoin]

@Brutusness I think I remember an interview in which they said they have the potential to drag this out for another 5 seasons (after season 2) which will not only appease all of us fans (yay!) but give George RR Martin some time for the next 2 books. They won't make Feast and Dance one season. 

[LadyLyanna25]

I love the art designs of all the settings... I see an EMMY in their future...

[YodSamechLamed]

@LadyLyanna25 Peter Dinklage won an Emmy for playing Tyrion, just saying.

[LadyLyanna25]

@YodSamechLamed Yes but not for art direction. I got to say with so many settings in the GOT, the crew really deserves an Emmy win, this second season and the coming years to come.

[badkiller2]

@LadyLyanna25 I totally agree with you. By the end of the 4th book, Martin explored most of Westeros and and beyond the Narrow sea. It's not gonna be and easy the crew will have a hard time, but they are really devoted to it, and deserve an award solely for not going the cheap way and using a green screen.

[Lostsoul060685]

@LadyLyanna25 i second that!! the crew did an amazing job!!!

[bairdey84]

jesus christ, just read book 2 and seriously, why did stannis rape arya stark?

[YodSamechLamed]

@bairdey84 What?

I am pretty sure Arya never makes contact with Stannis at all. I think you are talking about Rhaegar and Lyanna...

[gimil96]

@YodSamechLamed lol you really thought he was serious?

[YodSamechLamed]

@gimil96 Um...

[RonnieRimjob]

am i the only one that checks this channel every day to see if a new vid has been uploaded?

[ww2Komandant]

@RonnieRimjob I do that too :P

[kamuigaga]

Sheesh, no wonder they can only produce 10 eps. Imagine the budget....

[lilufirecrotch]

VALAR MORGHULIS

[alefa1720]

What a beautifull women!!!

[Ochrey]

Qarth looks amazing.

[ww2Komandant]

roses are red

violets are blue

HBO y u no season 2?

[SickOmega]

@ww2Komandant What does that even mean?

[freakmommah]

Re SOPA - we have HBO and GOT was shown here. Still, it doesn't fit my schedule so i downloaded it, immensely enjoyed it, intend to purchase the dvd's, especially if they come out as a beautiful collectors edition like LOTR. I also bought the books. The thing is, when i already paid for a movie or series and it turns out it sucks, i feel like i've been robbed, not just of my money, but my time. Can anyone refund time? I don't think so.

[MadPutz]

@freakmommah There's HBO on demand though, you can watch it for free on that too

[freakmommah]

@MadPutz - thank you, dear. that's very kind of you to inform me. however, i am saving my second viewing for when i purchase the dvd box set. gonna be awesome! :)

[TheEtaoin]

@freakmommah In Canada a privacy act might pass that takes away my PVR. Literally the ONLY thing that makes cable useful :/

[freakmommah]

Whoa! Everything looks awesome!

[BandNerd06Forever]

Where's the Comet!?

[MrMacobmalvin]

so they will kill kids and show butt sex but not do the one boob shirts from quarth wtf

[TheBlueXP]

@MrMacobmalvin It's hard to find all the extras willing to dress like that. besides, Quarth is a very sophisticated and civilized city, having that kind of clothing doesn't really fit. I'm very glad they didn't go with it.

[TheMementoman]

They shouldn't have left out the Tullys in the tv series, especially Brynden and Hoster, still love the books and show though.

[BandNerd06Forever]

@TheMementoman They don't start playing big roles until the 2nd book though; I wouldn't worry too much.

[lorentio16]

i'm glad they didn't do the bare breast thing in Quarth that would have been AWKWARD:)

[heltongut123]

valar morghulis ........

[gabrifoncec]

@heltongut123 Valar Dohaeris

[hodor]

Hodor!?

[heltongut123]

@hodor ahahahahahah ;D

[Lexyvil]

Now these people are true movie makers. Season two will be just as good, if not, better than the first.

[danceaddict143]

Reek, reek. It rhymes with freak.

[gimil96]

I just finished A dance with dragons.. And I'm fucking pissed at wun wun >:(

[Twestination]

People that havent red the books and are going to be introduced to wun wun, now know that hes gonna do something bad. asshole

[boxerguy2343]

its creepy how they made Craster's Keep looks EXACTLY how i imagined it

[thafuckify]

@boxerguy2343 true that!

[LionofNJ2013]

@boxerguy2343 shouldn't be too hard to imagine a simple wooden keep with a camp around it

[boxerguy2343]

@LionofNJ2013 well fuck you then and your good imagination

[TheAutisticGuitarist]

@boxerguy2343 personally I think that's a sign that George R.R. Martin is a great writer. Think about it: he knew what the characters and locations looked like, and knew how to described them so well that finding people are places that fit the bill was easy.

[stonem001]

@boxerguy2343

anyone would think they based it off the same book YOU read!!??

[failtolawl]

@boxerguy2343 consider it to be well described.

[CharlesvonBaden]

@boxerguy2343 It is known.

[LadyTPinkdragon]

I can't wait to watch Season 2! ♥

[UsurperOfThrones]

Reek, my name is Reek, it rhymes with leek.

[lordsk3]

game of thrones is perhaps the only tv series where "arrow to the knee" can actually apply

[DamnTheseVampires]

Interesting emphasis on Robb's camp. So will there be no Riverrun and the storyline with Cat's father?

[OnlineMemo]

craster's keep looks just how i pictured it reading the books D:

[TRyan3383]

Riverrun wont be in the show this season

[renzgarcia84]

so... Ironborn soldiers (with Krakens on their shields) on Winterfell... a Golden Crowned Stag on Green (Baratheon sigil on Tyrell Colors)... Craster's Keep, Theon and (hopefully Aeron Damphair)

[Pierre8907]

I used to be an adventurer like you...

[6Wul0Won]

Hope they actually show Riverrun this season.

[lordsk3]

where's riverrun?

[winkipopful]

@aus4lfy hehe you spell foetus funny :)

[07azunyan]

BURN ALL THE SEVEN!

[LionOfCasterlyRock]

"Reek rhymes with sneak"

[SpyengoEen]

Read the books! They're fucking amazing! (I'm halfway through book 4 right now)

[Intheend4226]

@SpyengoEen I would but I'm not a reader :'(

[Brutusness]

@SpyengoEen Just starting Feast for Crows!

[kitethehacker]

@SpyengoEen I'm on book 4 as well and I am actually struggling to finish it. It is just not that interesting. 1-3 were absolutely jaw dropping though

[SpyengoEen]

@kitethehacker

yes, book 4 is definitely the weakest of the bunch. but I still like it though, I heard worse of it. but too much new side characters that I don't really care about.

[diedahero]

@SpyengoEen

I loved A Feast for Crows. I was wondering the entire time I read 1-3 what's Dorn doing through all of this? And I personally wasn't disappointed. Plus, I love Brienne.

[xellestar]

@SpyengoEen And spoil this great TV series for myself? no thanks lol

[yellowman88]

@xellestar you'll most likely forget it... I'm on the 4th book and i can't remember what happened in the 2nd book.

[xellestar]

@yellowman88 After managing to keep up with Lost I think I'm ready for anything :D

[creepiestdani]

@SpyengoEen Neah, I'd rather see the show first.

[TheEtaoin]

@SpyengoEen Take your time. Finishing the 5th book was my worst mistake... of life.

Seriously, knowing now that I can't just pick up and read a chapter of new (to me) material is just bwaaaaaaaaaaa. CAN.NOT.WAIT for Winds of Winter!

[Flanneryschickens]

@TheEtaoin The first chapter of Winds of Winter is up on GRRM's website! It's a Theon chapter. :)

[ZerilasLife]

AMAZING!!!!!! I can not wait!!!!

[PillowDood]

Hodor?

[Renji1]

Like the look of Crasters Keep...can't wait to see these areas in the coming seasons!

[williamvargas123]

1 dislike from Jamie Lannister.

[semisanity]

Just started reading book 4, I can't wait to see how Dorne will look :D

[Michaelmop]

Best High Fantasy movie/series out there next to The Lord of the Rings. And soon The Hobbit.. of course.

[rwhitney89]

best show on hbo hands down esatbound and down well hbo over showtime and everything

[corvus13]

Iron Islands? Can't wait to see Aeron Greyjoy. :)



[TheLastSkYHawK]

0:40 Aziz Yıldırım

[fishNguitars]

Moooore Doreah pleeaaasee. The lady who plays Doreah is sooo sexy.

[floisheremuch]

@fishNguitars Doesnt she die really early on in the second book.

[07azunyan]

@floisheremuch They'll probably replace the death with Jhiqui since she doesn't do much in the series.

[MsHalfbloodPrincesss]

omg everything looks so pretteeeeeeeeh

[DeepQantas]

That mural at 1:10 uses perspective! That's pretty high tech.

[KiwifruitFig]

Enough of the sets, let's see the actors!

[sartori69]

This looks fantastic! Their set design crews are so amazing, and I'm so glad my favorite series is getting the love it deserves.

[MrJPVERCETTI]

There's a ghost in Harrenhal! Watch your steps!

[motoriety]

Craster's keep is exactly how I imagined it in the books!

[Volthan]

I would like to borrow the team to help me built my dream house/castle/villa!

That would mean the world to me! =)

[thestranger4812]

Robb's camp? Robb isn't even in the novel at all, why include him in the series?

[141208114M718151520]

@thestranger4812 He doesn't have a pov but he is in the novel.

[Pajadox]

@thestranger4812 because he deserves it 

[RavenStillBeguiling]

@thestranger4812 Because the show is not the book. They aren't restricted by POV and can expand on plot points we weren't exposed to in the books because of it. Why waste such a great opportunity like this one?

[jemoedurrr]

Who's up for some weasel soup?

[Bluesweatshurtguy1]

TINA Has a Shiny face

[bretterlichfan]

I guess no Riverrun or Storms End. Those locations are the easiest to cut out due to budget restrictions ( for this season), though it would be nice to see them.

[Temerio]

Will there be a season for each book or will they merge books into a single season? (4 and 5)?

[theR528]

@Temerio i think the first halves of 4th and 5th books will compose the 4th season and the second ones - the 5th.

[TasteFlaK]

The crew for Game Of Thrones is amazingly talented! Thank You.

[bLiNdeCo]

April 1st is Coming.

[demonfromwithin]

April 1st cannot come fast enough!

[Cosme422]

I'm ready for the next season, bring it on! :)

[kain1290]

im so want to see dragonstone

[jokervandyk]

HBO is coming to Holland finally

[MariaVosa]

This looks so freaking amazing!!!

[MolinMUSE]

Craster's Keep looks AWESOME!

[shortkid75]

Really excited to see how Harrenhal is going to look

[donutboy990]

@shortkid75 im at book 3 now, when does harrenhal gets more important?

[Celedam]

@donutboy990 It's important to the development of Arya, Jaime, and Brienne as characters, as well as dropping some big hints about Roose Bolton.

[dEnAfunXD]

OMG I WANT to see the second season!!!! :D

[vide0gameCaster]

If they support SOPA, I DON'T FUCKING CARE. I will stop my subscription to HBO and find a way to watch it on streaming. They take down megaupload, there is still VideoBB!

[Ptolemy18]

thanks for the video but starving for season 2!!

[sebcastilho]

There's so much passion in the making of this series. It's incredible. I appreciate it greatly, but I can't but worry that the there'll be little or no profit in the end... which would mean cancellation :(

[88blair88]

@sebcastilho It's being made by HBO, so funding is not a concern, as long as they make back capital, they are usually satisfied with putting out a quality product. Not to mention, HBO subscriptions have skyrocketed since the beginning of the show's run, so I'm sure HBO is plenty happy with the profit they're making from the show. They've already confirmed 2 more seasons to encompass the second book, and are in talks for a 5th already, so don't fret that it will be cancelled any time soon.

[sebcastilho]

@88blair88 That's very heartening, thanks for the news :)

[88blair88]

@sebcastilho No problem, it's one of my favorite shows on TV right now, so I've been following it intently. Just a correction to my previous statement, that should be 2 seasons to encompass the 3rd book, only 1 for the second.

[adminmovie]

HBO, what s your stand on SOPA ???

[mrjakeandmrsryan]

@adminmovie Obviously they'll support it, they make TV series' that are seen by a massive portion of their audience through illegal downloading.

[Zoran54321]

@mrjakeandmrsryan Well sorry for not having HBO available in my country :/

[mrjakeandmrsryan]

@Zoran54321 Not saying anything, I downloaded the first few episodes myself, just saying they probably support SOPA xD

[tehBLAX]

@adminmovie SOPA... asif the world fucking didnt hate america enough

[MaXXimmus100]

@adminmovie NO to SOPA!

[Pirispanen]

@adminmovie SOPA... So 2k11

[sdan94]

@adminmovie What a silly question, of course they support it, everything involved with cinema does

[stinkinburrows]

@adminmovie I don't think anyone involved in this video speaks for HBO.

[nkelly1432]

@adminmovie I would guess they are pro-SOPA, I couldn't imagine them being against any type of legistlation combating piracy

[LeftyHangsLower]

@adminmovie Well, Game of Thrones was the most pirated TV show of 2011 (look it up), so I imagine they're against piracy.

[YuesWoman]

@LeftyHangsLower Yes, but I'll bet you that lot's of those people will be first in line to buy the DVDs in April. If it weren't for online piracy, they might never have even heard of Game of Thrones. I'm sure a lot of them bought the books after watching the show as well.

[LeftyHangsLower]

@YuesWoman Yes, but I'll bet you that lots of those people didn't do any of those things. Baseless conjecture is fun!

[Seblaverde18]

@adminmovie really? they were the first in pro SOPA, they are a channel PPV, -.-'
