Producer provides glimpse of possible filming locales
A great find by Ran over at Westeros has led to this visual effects producer’s blog. It looks as if Julia Frey (HA!) will be working as the VFX producer on the Game of Thrones pilot and in her blog she chronicles the location scouting trips she went on to Belfast, Morocco and Scotland. Be sure to browse through the posts as there are a lot of great pics. It looks like Benioff even makes an appearance in one of them!
As well as the great pics, I was able to glean some interesting info from the posts. One, it looks like they will be filming the Dany scenes in mid-November. (Probably why they are willing to take their time finding the right Drogo.) Two, they will be using a modified portion of a large Kingdom of Heaven set during their Morocco filming. Three, they scouted a Moroccan oasis, I’m assuming this will be used for the Dany/Drogo wedding night scene. Four, they will be filming at Doune Castle in Scotland.
I’ll be sure to keep tabs on her blog and Twitter account. Hopefully she will continue to provide great pictures and info as the filming gets underway.
