And he had to sustain this for a full day of shooting. Many people had tears in their eyes watching it. We were really just riveted, all of us, just watching it. He’s so vulnerable, and I thought what he brought to the scene was so amazing. This is the first time where we’ve seen him completely thrown and completely unbalanced and really having to beg for his life in the end. He seems to hold all the cards most of the time. You know, he’s an amazing actor, but there’s a color we haven’t really seen from him on this show, because throughout the series, he’s a character who manipulates things, who controls things, who’s on top of everything. Aidan’s performance was so, so passionate, and so surprising in a way. The mood when we were shooting it was incredible, actually. It was moving and difficult to see somebody get to the end of their role on the show, but it was an amazing scene to go out on. There’s a real appreciation for that kind of artistry, and the beauty of that sequence as well. For Aidan and for everybody, it was such a dramatic and beautifully written scene, that if you have to go out? It’s the best possible way to go out. But there’s also an interesting thing about how you go out. When any character gets killed, there’s always a sadness about that, because they’re part of the family in a way. What was the mood on set like during the scene where Arya kills Littlefinger? It must have been intense. From a concept stage, everything is worked out by me with the visual effects department in terms of how it’s going to be achieved. There are so many different components within many of those shots, and sometimes there’s just an element that’s real, and sometimes the whole thing is real, and sometimes nothing is real. A lot of those are real practical elements that we shoot, and lighting effects we create to mimic those effects when we’re not working on the sets. And there are many interactive elements also that people might not be aware of, like the dragon flame and the impact of that and what it does in terms of the effect it has on the Wall. All of the more panoramic spectacular shots are visual effects, but they’re designed by me working with the visual effects department from storyboards that I created with storyboard artists. Many elements of people falling off the Wall - stuntmen, things like that - all of that is shot as elements that get put into visual effects sequences later. Everything with Tormund and Beric and the wildlings on top of the Wall was all practical, shot on set in Belfast. Certainly everything that’s on top of the Wall is live. Even within the visual effects, there are a lot of real, practical elements that aren’t so easy to separate if you’re not inside the process. Where did you land on the practical versus visual effects question?Īctually, it’s a combination. It becomes a bit of a group effort, what the final realization of these things should be. Once I was over the fabulousness of what the scene could potentially be, we got down to the hard questions of how are we actually going to pull it off? You’re so well-supported on a show like this with such great people that I knew I wouldn’t be doing it alone and we would figure out this problem together, with me and the visual effects department and with my cinematographer and with. How are we actually going to pull it off?” There’s a big question of mine about how much is real, how much is not real, how much is visual effects. This is an enormous, spectacular sequence. They’re really going there.” So that was my first response. When you’re reading the script, you’re thinking to yourself, “Oh my God. What was your reaction when you learned that the Wall would fall in the finale?
