Game of Thrones: Histories & Lore
Riverrun
Art Direction / 3D Modeling & Texturing / Animation / Compositing
For this animated piece, I modeled Riverrun Castle and created a stylized version of the Riverlands. An illustrator provided artwork for the interstitial scenes, as well as for all characters, props, animals, and tents that would populate the 3D world. These drawn elements were then layered further and imported into Cinema 4D, where they were shaped and arranged to give them additional depth. Final post production was done in After Effects.
In these final shots, a super wide-angle lens was used to give additional scale to the castle, as well as a feeling of vertigo from soaring overhead.
