Did you know that TV shows and movies have concept artists that sketch out scenes before they are filmed to help directors envision what the final product should look like? I didn’t, until I read this article, which compares the concept art for the most recent season of Game of Thrones with the actual footage that was released. The quality of the concept art is impressive, and what’s even more impressive is how closely the final product resembles the concept artist’s vision for how the scene should look. I had no idea that concept artists played such a significant role in the creation of shows and movies! Check out some examples of how closely GoT’s scenes mirror its concept art below.
