Inside Game of Thrones Prosthetics

[Westeros]

Continuing the trend of highlighting the behind-the-scenes production of HBO’s Game of Thrones series, they have now released an interesting mini-documentary on the work of the prosthetics department. A whole lot of white walkers and wights to be seen. Interestingly, much of the white walker footage is from last season’s “Hardome”:

Suffice it to say, some of the glimpses of season 6 herein could be considered spoilerish.

Very interesting! Does anyone know if the Thenn with the green on his face is part of the new season or from season 5? I know he was in season 4 and 5 but I'm talking specifically about why his face would be half green-screened.

I'm not an expert on special effects, but what i do know is that the green-screened allows for people to edit and add in post-production editing program. I'm saying this coming from my experience when my film teacher told me during my filming assignment that if i want to change the background into a forest, i have to film in a room with a green screen behind so i can change the background to a real looking forest. Otherwise, if i only film with a white wall, then the background wouldn't be possible to edit unless you want to film at a real place instead of adding special effects or CGI.
