A new video showcasing the process of bringing the Westeros settings of Game of Thrones to life has made its way online.

"For the finale of season six of HBO's smash hit Game of Thrones, Rising Sun Pictures faced a formidable challenge: replicate the sprawling city of King's Landing and its central shrine, the Great Sept of Baelor, and then burn them to the ground in a magical, green-hued inferno," the video's description reads. "New to the Game of Thrones production team, RSP created visual effects for several episodes of the show's recently concluded sixth season. Most of the work centred on King's Landing and the Sept as artists produced photo-realistic CG set extensions and architectural enhancements that were blended with location footage to create the luxurious, walled city overlooking the sea."

"At Rising Sun Pictures (RSP) we create inspirational visual effects for major studios worldwide," the creators say. "Creating outstanding images is at the core of our existence. At the heart of our talented team, there is a diverse knowledge and skill-set, enabling a collaborative core where we can work together to solve problems and deliver great visuals to our clients. We have achieved some truly amazing visual effects work by providing innovative solutions to technically challenging work. We have the capacity and talent pool to scale to suit the needs of our clients."

Aside from Game of Thrones, Rising Sun Pictures has worked on visual effects for over 100 projects, including X-Men: Apocalypse, The Legend of Tarzan, Pan, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter.
