HOUSE OF THE DRAGON

CLIENT: HBO

STUDIO: BIGSTAR

VFX / ANIMATION DIRECTOR: CASEY DROGIN

CG MODELING: CONNER OBRIEN

HOUDINI FIRE SIM: JUSTIN NIXON

House of the Dragon features three houses: the Targaryens, the Hightowers and the Valeryons, all who have their own sigil. To design these spots, we leaned into each of the three houses and what they represent to develop a unique look for each.

Fire was simulated in Houdini. The sigils were modeled and rendered in Cinema4D. Everything was then composited in After Effects using ACES colorspace.

Take a look at the full case study!

First, we received all characters shot on blue screen for initial greenscreen compositing and testing.

Then, we developed cinematic looks and modeled 3D sigils based on the characters of each house.
