About Yea High Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nothing "leaked" technically, but our intrepid Julia Frey kicks off today's filming with some pics of her hotel area.Jackie contributes with some Flickr pics of various Ouarzazate sets from past projects.So ... hey! Good luck to all involved (I think the weather will be better, regardless) ... Tamzin, Harry, Iain, Ian, Jason... cast, crew, GRRM, Tom, Dave, D.B....Wake the dragon!

JacMac30 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Jackie contributes with some Flickr pics of various Ouarzazate sets from past projects.Also found a video on YouTube showing where I'm guessing they'll be working. I can certainly see Dany walking some of the streets. The Egyptian stuff may need a little green screen ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Egyptian stuff may need a little green screen ;)Some of the Egyptian stuff may be useful for the Dothraki city where they steal other culture's statuary. Of course, I think those were all separate sets, so no problem.Wonder how they're going to do the sea of grass shooting in Morocco. But then that may have been shot in Ireland, although the wrong time of year. May have to be CGIed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hairy bear Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Wonder how they're going to do the sea of grass shooting in Morocco. But then that may have been shot in Ireland, although the wrong time of year.It is a missconception to assume that Morocco is just made of dry desertic landscapes. Northern Africa has lots of green pastures. Those pictures are from Morocco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuroishi Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah but as far as I recall, the surroundings of Ouarzazate are not the greenest part of Morocco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brude Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Looks like tonight they shoot the Dothraki wedding scene!George says so.Oh, to be Jason Momoa for a day.Well, the wedding is not the seduction scene. That will probably be shot another day, if it hasn't already been. Love scenes are usually shot on closed sets with only a minimal crew - it's much easier on the actors. It won't get shot the same time as when all those extras for the wedding will be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pictures are from Morocco.Thanks for educating me. Most of the Moroccan sets I've seen have been austere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah but as far as I recall, the surroundings of Ouarzazate are not the greenest part of Morocco.I'm sure they can travel around if they need to. Not that they have to film all Dany's scenes in Morocco but it seems a nice place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LugaJetboyGirl Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Wake the dragon! (Break a leg)I like this as the new BwB version of good luck. :wideeyed: It has a very 'Up the Irons' sort of feel.Wake the dragon, everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they have to film all Dany's scenes in Morocco but it seems a nice place to start.Oh yeah, for sure. But as far as my experience goes, road trips in Morocco are long :unsure: , especially from Ouarzazate which is separated from the rest of Morocco by mountains (the Marrakech-Ouarzazate mountain road mentionned by GRRM in his blog post is a really beautiful one, but it's kind of slow). Though they could always use plane to change locations I guess, but I supposed that they would stay in Ouarzazate as much as they could.On the other hand if the series is picked, they should be able to travel a little.(oh, and azerty ftw ! but I sympathize with George there, switching from one to the other is really bothersome. Qnd you ,qke q lot of ,istqkes for q zhile.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 And they're done, apparently.Since they had the wrap party, that sounds like it's in the can. Filming is over.Now the long wait for word from HBO begins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daimonion Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So do we know when HBO will receive the final product for reviewing?Or even if they are going to make it 100% finished before the review? I'm just hoping HBO will have as much time as possible to consider this, in the hopes that they'll be able to make a decision before march.

Ran Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 As per the post at the top left sidebar, we know that some level of post-production is going into effect in February, and GRRM is expecting HBO's decision around March. So I'm guessing that's when HBO's getting the final product, more or less, for review.One thing I should add is that Julia Frey has previously remarked that she's on hiatus from a blogging gig she has until January some time. This is speculative, but it seems to me that through January, there's going to be some sort of effects house carrying out who knows what sort of effects work for the episode -- doubtless creating 3D assets like views of Winterfell and King's Landing, perhaps, plus any digital compositing needed and so on.

theMountainGoat Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 We did attempt to get an answer to this very question in Belfast. I asked Julia Frey how complete the visual effects she was producing were going to be when the show is handed to HBO but she completely and utterly ducked the question replying "maybe" and "yes quite possibly" and "it could be that, we'll see".They are keeping things very tightly under wraps so for now that is the best answer we are going to get.

daimonion Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hmm... YEah, maybe one can hope for å decision before march, then. "Some post production of some kind" actually doesn't prove anything, when i think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm not sure why it wouldn't lead you to the conclusion that, coupled with GRRM's expectation of a decision of around March, that the episode isn't going to HBO for review until some time in February or March. But okay. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
