Great news! While we’ve been releasing our Cheap Tricks Game of Thrones inspired VFX tutorials a few weeks apart, this week we’re going mad (like, Aerys II Targaryen a.k.a. Mad King mad) and we’re giving you a second helping of tutorial goodness.

In the 4th and final chapter, Hashi will show you how to create two terrifyingly awesome dragon VFX shots – including one featuring dragon fire and the epic destruction of our zombie horde from Episode 3.

You’ll learn tons of techniques in 3D animation, camera tracking, object replacement, keying, compositing, color correction, and much more.

So gear up for one last adventure in Westeros!
