Their prosthetic wounds were nearly identical. No one dared to breathe as Catelyn cut down Walder Frey’s young wife, and in turn, had her own throat slit by Black Walder. When Robb dies, saying his final word to Catelyn, the hall echoed with her scream – and it was the only sound there was. Richard was set with crossbow bolts in the same way that Esmé Bianco was when Ros was killed by Joffrey, each one piercing his costume as rivulets of blood were added. Over the course of a week, the reign of King Robb was cut short by the most brutal betrayal. Starting on a cold, wet Monday in mid-October, and with the help of his 1st AD Mark Taylor, he created an atmosphere on set that was both chilling and intimate. Consummate gentleman David Nutter directed this episode, perhaps the most shocking one since the death of Ned Stark.

As much as we were all desperate to keep Richard Madden, Michelle Fairley and Oona Chaplin with us, Robb, Catelyn and Talisa had to die. In the end, there would be no doubles for the Starks. If you read the post last fall with Special Effects Floor Supervisor Jonathan Barrass, you may recognise the day in question. The actual run across the field was not performed by Kit, but rather a double who had to jump the wall and charge with the rest of the wildling crew. When the wildlings run to attack the holster in the field, a scene filmed on private land near Saintfield, Kit was still in a cast and could only walk for short periods of time. By now, it is no secret that Kit Harington broke his ankle before the beginning of the season. Those maps were very real, but some things on the show come thanks to a bit of trickery. In comparison, Robb’s map, with the wolf head markers when he plots with Catelyn to sack Casterly Rock, had so much detailing, it took about a week of solid work to finish. It took him around two days to complete once the concept was agreed upon. That one map was handmade using ink on vellum by one of our artists, Michael Eaton. Take for example the hand-painted map of Yunkai that Daenerys examines before Daario Naharis takes Grey Worm and Jorah into the city. What the Art Department can do in such a short time frame would blow your mind. Then Set Dec went to work to bring in the finished elements in just under two weeks, from start to finish.

The set was completely reworked so that the light and airy rooms of House Tully became a dark, menacing and oppressive space the walls were refinished, the Tully fish removed, the balcony added and the windows covered. The Great Hall at the Twins, where Robb Stark holds audience with Walder Frey, was also the Council Chamber at Riverrun where Edmure claimed his victory at the Stone Mill – much to Robb's disgust in Episode 303. Readers of the books have known the Red Wedding was imminent, but followers of the show would only know that something, something was reaching a climax.īefore we get to the filming days in the hall at the Twins, let me tell you a few facts from the episode you might find interesting. The apprehension in the days leading up to the filming of the Red Wedding was a palpable feeling – this scene, this moment was one that would shift the direction of so many of our main storylines, and for some, it was the coming of an abrupt end. There are moments on 'Game of Thrones,' when you know something coming up in the filming schedule will be different.
