GoT Laughs: The Pugs of Westeros
To celebrate the arrival of Game of Thrones Season 4 to their online streaming service, Blinkbox brings us The Pugs of Westeros.
Blinkbox teamed up with Phillip and Sue Lauer, proud owners of Roxy, Blue, and Bono to create the Thrones tribute. Their pugs are no strangers to playing dress up, and in their first trip to Westeros, they take on some of our favorite characters. King Joffrey has never been so adorable on his pug-sized Iron Throne, Oberyn Martell can still make all of the ladies and gents swoon, and Jon Snow’s puppy dog eyes are just that.
Although the Lauers usually stick to photography, they jumped at the chance to create a video tribute to one of their favorite shows.
“Sue is a professional photographer and designer and she loves to take pictures of our pugs in various scenarios. When Blinkbox set us the challenge of Game of Thrones tribute we couldn’t resist. Sue spent two weeks just creating the Iron Throne alone but it was well worth it.”
There are some great photos to accompany the tribute, and even a ‘making-of’ video for a peek behind the scenes. The Lauers also have some great pages on their website, Pupstar Sonoma, detailing how they created the surprisingly intricate costumes.
