The opening title sequence to Game Of Thrones is ranked as one of the best TV title sequences of all time. In 2011 & 2019, the team behind the design received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Design.

Thread on how it came to be & what the map represents🧵

The title sequence was designed by Creative director Angus Wall, art director Robert Feng, animator Kirk Shintani & designer Hameed Shaukat. They were asked to create map pieces that shows exactly where the setting is when they transition to different locations.

Concept art:

The physicality of the map & its pieces are meant to be reminiscent to the designs of Leonardo DaVinci’s machines. Operated by turning gears and cogs. Everything is made of wood, metal, leather, & fabric. Natural materials that could be created by man with hammer, saw, & chisel.

While we wait, If you’re interested in engaging with more of the Targaryen lore as well as ASOIAF in general, but are confused where to start…
•
Here is a thread on the books set within the TWOIAF that have been published by GRRM, and each of their purposes! #HouseOfTheDragon

ASOIAF - A Song of Ice and Fire

Three main stories interweave:
•
The dynastic war among several Noble families for control of Westeros
•
Jon Snow & The Nightswatch against the growing darkness beyond the Wall
•
Daenerys Targaryen’s rise to power across the Narrow Sea in Essos

MmThe point of view of each chapter is a limited perspective of a range of characters.
You get a direct look into the minds of iconic characters from the show such as Arya, Tyrion, Cersei, Daenerys, Jon, & more!
MANY more plot lines & characters were not put into the show.
