Image Engine delivered award-winning creature animation to Game of Thrones: Season 7‘s pivotal sequence ‘loot train attack’ in the Battle of the Goldroad. The team also provided draconic visuals for two further scenes: Daenerys’ execution-by-dragonfire of Randyll and Dickon Tarly, and a later sequence when the show’s principal characters meet in the grand amphitheatre of the Dragonpit. The studio acted as lead vendor responsible for Drogon.
