Game of Thrones begins....

There's a very interesting interview at "Winter is Coming" with the people from the FX company that worked on the first season (link here: http://www.westeros.org/GoT/Features/Entry/Interview_with_VFX_Producer_Lucy_Ainsworth-Taylor/). Apparently they won't be coming for the second season because the technical needs will be overwhelming for them, citing specifically CG fur, fire and water.

They could still do some work in a secondary capacity if I read that interview right.

Yup, but I'd guess that it'll depend on the new main FX providers.

This is how the Twins should have looked like in the show:

[The Brain]

Don't remember that place from Meet The Twins.

[Habbaku]

Seems awfully 2D for a TV show.

I meant the castle design.

[Siege]

Compare the two castle designs and tell me which one did you visualize while reading the books:

[Siege]

I certainly expected the twins to be no more than bowshot away from each other, with the smaller river tower in the center.
And to be full castles with stables, barracks, training yards, archer ranges, the whole nine yards.

[Valmy]

I thought it was like the lower ones.  I thought it was literally twin towers with a bridge between them like Frey Heraldry.

[Slargos]

Second.

But granted, the first certainly makes more sense.

Well apparently you were wrong. No biggie.

[Josquius]

Yeah, wasn't there meant to be a middle castle?
Them being far apart from each other makes sense though, if they were near to each other then crossings wouldn't be so rare.

With the Twins I'm concerned about how small they were, that room with Catelyn met Fray....it was tiny. And thats supposed to be his hall where the red wedding will be.

Apparently Amazon.de messed up its orders and has sent a batch of books already. Oh, German efficiency, what happened to you?

Yep a bunch of Germans have the book already.  Look for a scanned copy being distributed at a file sharing site near you.

Every set so far was small for you guys. Maybe you should rethink how you picture the sets in your mind because apparently the writer disagrees with you.
