Game of Thrones has released their second Behind the Scenes “Inside GoT” clip for the coming season. This one isn’t quite as precious as the first, since we have finally had a Season 6 trailer to whet our appetites and give us a clue of what might be coming next season. But we’re still combing it for clues of what might be coming this season. Especially since it begins with a character we’re very interested in. No, not Jon Snow. I speak of: The Night’s King.
Anyone who is a total make up and costume geek will love this behind the scenes look at how the characters–especially the White Walkers–are created. For those who watch shows on SyFy like Face Off which are a competition version of this, these processes will be familiar, but that doesn’t make the sculpting and molding phases any less interesting.
But let’s get into what interests the rest of us for this season: White Walkers!
The White Walkers were kept heavily under wraps in filming this season, much as they were last year for Hardhome. More often our spoilers about them are more about where they won’t be (certain very large scale battle scenes had multiple reports that there were no White Walkers on set) then where they are. So…where are they?
From the shots we see in this special, the show must have filmed multiple scenes with the White Walkers. From what we know, they were mostly filmed on green screen sets up in the quarry where Hardhome was done, or in the forests not far from where the stand in for Riverrun was built, and which was used for multiple foresty location both north and south of the Wall. This lower shot, of a White Walker being attacked by trees, is one that very much piqued my interest. Is this a trap set for the White Walkers by wildlings? Or are the trees…defending Westeros?
The show obviously doesn’t want to give too much away on this subject though, using this Behind the Scenes special to talk about the making of Hardhome. (Which they really couldn’t last year, since they were trying to keep the White Walker aspect of the battle quiet.) I suppose we’ll have to wait and find out what it is they’re keeping under wraps for a few more weeks yet.
