Watch: ‘Game of Thrones’ Behind the Scenes of Most Explosive Episode Ever
Game of Thrones: The Loot Train Attack Who doesn’t know or hasn’t watched Game of Thrones? The historic fantasy TV series brought intense production challenges to its action cast during Season 7, Episode 4, unleashing full dragon fury in the iconic Loot Train Attack sequence. Behind The Scene Video The behind-the-scenes breakdown showcases these technical challenges from the perspective of the cast and crew who executed the dragon fire attack scenes. Notably, a world record was set for the highest number of stunt performers set on fire in a single shot, exceeding 20 actors simultaneously. Props team member Peter Marley explained the logistics faced by the production design crew during filming: “Because the entire sequence is a wagon train, it involves 27 wagons and we have to reshuffle the entire set constantly, which means dressing 180 degrees or 360, depending on the camera movement.” To capture the speed and scale of Daenerys Targaryen’s aerial attack, the Game of Thrones showrunners utilized innovative camera setups. They deployed two distinct systems: Spidercam—a high-speed camera rigged to cables suspended between construction cranes traveling up to 80 km/h—and FlyCam, a high-velocity drone setup designed to achieve sweeping shots faster than standard equipment.
