Video: This video showing the Game Of Thrones VFX from Season 4 is amazing

What do you mean Westeros isn't real?

What do you mean Westeros isn’t real?

JOE has missed Game Of Thrones so much that we have taken it upon ourselves to re-create some of the most famous scenes from the last season, cue our Spoiler Alert klaxon BLARING right now.

We put styrofoam wings on our dog in an effort to turn them into dragons, we made swords and armour out of tinfoil, and we forced one of our writers to do an extreme ice bucket challenge by locking them in a walk-in freezer.

Our attempts aren’t as good as Montreal-based visual effects artists Rodeo FX though, who have just won the 2014 Emmy Award for Outstanding Special and Visual Effects for the show.

Just like their counterparts in Mackevision, the Rodeo team’s work in creating the world of Westeros is simply stunning. Despite their genius in the field of computer graphics, however, we doubt that even they could turn Joffrey into a likeable person.

That’s just impossible.
