Technical stuff on the production of GoT

[Hrakkar]

Here's a very interesting article explaining how the images are captured and manipulated for HBO's 'Game of Thrones' series. Most importantly, it explains how they have moved away from videotape, to a pure file-based production workflow. (Not too many years ago, they would have used film, and many producers still do.)

Next week, I will be at the National Association of Broadcasters convention. I expect to see a lot of this kind of equipment firsthand. And I bet I will see GoT playing in some vendor's booths! (I will give a report if there is any material worthy of a report.)
