[Spoilers Ahead]This season of Game of Thrones hit hard, but—the finale's emotional onslaught aside—nothing hit harder than the massive battle of Hardhome. Friends new and old joined the army of the dead, a giant crushed dozens of skeletal soldiers, and we learned new secrets about the power of Valyrian steel, and all of it was made possible thanks to HBO's fantastic visual effect teams and hired hands, who's work we've featured before in the form of dragons, fire, and giant battles. Madrid-based VFX house El Ranchito Imagen Digital has released a short video documenting the crazy rigs, giant green screens, skin suit-wearing stunt men, and more that went into the horrifying slaughter.
