My favorite is the randomly flailing soldier that isn't on fire. He gets an A+ in my book.

When George R.R Martin runs out of characters to kill off, so he starts going after real people too.

"Your motivation is that you're on fire, and you don't want to be on fire anymore" - Director, probably.

if they are supposed to be acting like they are being burned alive... how would you know if the stunt went wrong? is there a safe word?

I like the one on the left who isn't on fire but is walking like he is.

Love that he looks to be waddling back towards another guy to get lit up once he notices haha

Yeah that was a hilarious moment in the filming, he leant forwards slightly earlier than he was supposed to, cost heaps in the CGI that 1/?

Had to be done, everybody still gives him shit for that. A moment he will never be able to live down. 2/2

Invisible fire; it happened to Ricky Bobby...

I've seen videos of race car drivers who've caught invisible fire. It's terrifying

He's staggering from the loss of pay he just got by not catching on fire.

I just watched that scene again to see what happened to him, and he's not even in it! He was replaced by some not-on-fire soldiers.

I remember this comment from years ago, and saying last time how a little cgi could've fixed it and got shat on for the idea.

You paved the way for today.

Even less CGI fixed it by removing him.

They can just CGI it in

Then why force the other poor bastards to do it?

One guy in CGI fire next to a bunch actually on fire > CGI the whole deal

Do you know how much good CGI costs these days?

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Not even that, it's easy to blend CGI in to a real effect but really hard to create real looking effect with no starting point. I believe

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

Fire is pretty well understood but yeah, more work and more money.

This guy was just cut out of the shot with CGI.

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

If his safety equipment was working properly, he likely wouldn't know whether he was on fire or not...

8 years ago | Likes 68 Dislikes 1

Yeah, he didn't realise that he didn't burn until he went to the ground.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

And if it's not, he'd know immediately.

8 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 0

They can probably set him on fire with CGI so as long as he is doing the moves it's not a wasted shot.

8 years ago | Likes 132 Dislikes 0

I can imagine the talk before that. "If you don't catch fire, for the love of GOD act like it."

8 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

I would have screwed it up. I would have stopped, looked at the director and ask "Uhm. Redo?"

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

would be easier to crop him out or cgi him out, not that its his fault he didnt catch on fire :P

oddly enough one of the most dangerous parts of this is breathing. the air gets so hot that they can permanently damage their lungs.

8 years ago | Likes 1074 Dislikes 3

As someone who does fire burns yes the breathing is harder but it is not hot so long as you keep moving forwards.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

At least my legs wouldn't get burnt after I piss my pants and my face wouldn't get burnt from the rivers of tears.

8 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

Scenes like these require the stuntmen not to breathe,but this was quite a long scene with a lot of actors who could all fuck up.They didn't

That's the impressive shit that makes GoT even more enjoyable.

If I ever make a show, I'll just have it animated.

8 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 2

It probably costs more and takes more time to animate it in a way that looks real

Atleast you dont set people on fire.

How. In any way shape or form. Is that "Odd"? It's perfectly sensible. Skin is protected to a degree, lungs? Not so much.

Yeah, damaging your lungs and other related internal body parts if a major part of burn wounds.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Watching this behind the scenes was awesome. They talked about that and how they timed it out for the stunt guys to fold their breath

Also why you shoot fire with a shit-ton of coverage and overspeed. Slo-mo and mult. angles turn 5 sec. of fire into 30+ sec. of screen time.

Fold? Hold?

8 years ago | Likes 60 Dislikes 1

If you take 5 breaths and fold them they can all fit together in your lung. And you can make it without a new breath 5 times as long.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

yes thats it

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

If you fold the air in half you can fit twice as much in your lungs and hold your breath twice as long.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

When your lungs are folded, there are less wrinkles. Less surface area for burns. Basic science.

The stuntmen fold their lungs for less surface area. Sometimes reinflating them can cause issues and they need pressurised air.

8 years ago | Likes 69 Dislikes 1

I'd pay good money to see that

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Also after they folded them multiple times, their lungs become hard enough to cut steel.

They should just have oxygen ta......nevermind.

There actually are special stunt tanks, but that adds another level of expertise.

they should also keep some spare gasoline handy, just in case :)

Rebreather

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Rebreathers are roughly the same size as a scuba setup. They're talking about a mini-air tank. mounted on a face mask

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

and they wouldn't be much safer. A rebreather still has a small o2 tank to top off the air that you are rebreathing, to allow full breaths
