BTS: Storm's End | House of the Dragon (HBO) 

the difference between Aemond acting unhinged and Ewan being all shy and adorable is insane

The way they shot the pieces of dragon falling down from the sky absolutely broke my heart. A great decision to shoot it that way.

I didn't realise how huge Vhagar was compared to the other dragons, that shot where shes flying above Luke was amazing! This series was amazing and did not disappoint!

Elliot's mom saying "oh, it made me cry" 😭. So many of us cried watching that scene, it must have been so emotional for her to see her son acting that scene out.

The fact that the epic yet bleak multi-million dollar dragon sequence started with two men playing with toy dragons while making sound effects from their mouth is adorable. When I rewatch it Im just gonna think of how they play with the dragon toys 😂

Ewan Mitchell is perfect casting as Aemond!

The finale did not disappoint. It was so good!!

I loved the ambience of Storm's End! Very mysterious and dangerous

Elliot Grihault really nailed his role. Despite his short presence, he really made me care so much about him (in no small part due to him looking like my own boy who passed away), but his acting is just top-notch. I could feel his doubts about himself, his love for his mommy, his uncertainty when his brother said "Send us!", and finally his fear and tension throughout the Storm's End sequence. But he still put up a brave face and confronted everything like a man despite only being 14 years old, never once backed down and kept his cool and dignity from beginning to the bitter end. I wish I could give him a tight hug and kiss him on the cheeks, only because I could no longer do it to my own baby, and tell him how proud I am of him and I would gladly stand between him and any dangers.

Elliot and Ewan you did a fantastic job, acting like that when you literally have just a moving machine and only using your imagination is so impressive!

Arrax was such a beautiful young dragon. I would love to see concept art and turn around models like that for every dragon, because you can actually enjoy the details of their design and their beauty more than in the show, since they are always shown quite briefly.

That shot of Vhagar flying over Arrax was lit!!!!

The difference between Ewan and Aemond is day and night and that makes his character even more enthralling for me. Such a fantastic casting choice!

not only did i feel bad for the boys but i also felt bad for that smaller dragon too. the way his wings flapped so fast in that horrible storm and his movements just seemed like he was in a bit of a panic too and i just wanted the smaller dragon and the boy to get out of that storm. i really didn't expect everything to turn out like that and these scenes were so well done. thank you..

Wait a damn minute…he choreographed the fight after Storm’s End with toys of Alduin from Skyrim and the Hungarian Horntail from Harry Potter?! Honestly, that’s both hilarious and amazing! Sounds like some shit I would do!

Kudos to the all the younger versions character actors and young actors, actresses of this first season. They did a fantastic job.

Lucerys is really good on this part. Perfect casting although its sad will not see him any longer. But men his dress his face - perfection as prince dragon rider. He looks like animated character from how to train your dragon or animation out there. The clothed design is so real. Even the clothing of Jace it make them stand.

Ewan looks such a badass in this BTS clip and it looks like Elliott was having so much fun doing the dragon scene..

Bless you guys for casting Ewan😍

HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE PART OF THE CREW AND PRODUCTION YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, YOU ARE THE TRUE HEROES CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON TWO

To be honest, I'm jealous, in a good way) Someone has the talent to come up with a story, someone to embody it, someone to come up with visual effects, build scenery, sew costumes, actors, who embodied these characters with their talent and charisma!!!for me, these are such talented people!!! Thank you all for such a wonderful show, we are waiting for the second season!!!

Elliot will definitely for sure get more rules in the future. His performance was incredibly breathtaking. Every scene you can sense all the emotions and the lose all the thoughts in that moment.

House of the Dragon is the definition of redemption. After the misery that was Season 8, my hopes were so low for this show. But it is truly phenomenal and incredibly well cast. 10/10.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="242">4:02</a> it's hilarious that the idea for this incredible shot of Vhagar being revealed above Luke came from a guy messing with dragon toys like a 5 year old.

The actor really delivered by showing us how strong of character Lucerys was. Ser Harwin clearly helped raised those boys to become strong men.

I am here to get more of Ewan. He ended us all with 10 minutes of screentime, he is absolutely insanely talented and beautiful.

I like the range of Ewan HAHAHAHA him acting and when the camera stops rolling. He's such a gem. Additionally, I like how the team handle his outfit 👌 He looks fashionable for that time period. 👏

I love these behind the scenes pieces. I had high expectations for the finale and was not disappointed. What a Dragon fight it was. Luc’s demise whether it was an accident or not will, of course, will call for all hell to break loose in Season 2

"And with his death , the war of ravens and envoys and marriage pacts came to an end , and the war of fire and blood began in earnest". - Fire & Blood -

Spectacular ending, spectacular first season. the wait for the second one will be eternal, thanks for the show.

This show has some of the best CGI and Cinematography for a TV series ever.

RIP Luke... such a great actor.. you owned our hearts and had them broken as you and Aarax went down 💔

Ewan and Elliot are pure talent! Best scene up there with the toast and mini Aemond riding Vhagar. The crew is so good and patient with all details.

It's a gorgeous looking series, the CGI blends in well and never takes you out of the show.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="339">5:39</a> Elliot Grihault's Mom: "oh, it made me cry " Me: 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The shot of vhagar looming above the castle walls was one of my favorites in the series. If I was Luke and I saw that I would have dashed home and told Mom “Aemond got there first”.

That look she had at the end perfectly demonstrates blood and fire. If blood and fire had a facial reaction that was it

Amazing job by everyone. Loved the choice of Lucerys' death being rather "an accident" so it is not that black and white. And spectacular performance by Elliot throughout the whole episode, gonna miss him in the show.

Even beyond it’s dragons this serie is brilliant in terms of storytelling and cinematography

"First dragon fight put to film in Game of Thrones"? This guy forgot season 8 and I love him 🤣

You know it's serious when a grown adult buys a child's toy. I must say, that one paid off, with the choreography of that sequence being full of tension and believability Also, I'm gonna miss Luke, such a sweet character. Elliot and Harvey did a great job on his character.

Condal forgot that there was already a dragon vs dragon fight in Season 8, and I don't blame him at all 😂

probably this has been said before, but aemond looks so amazing with his long blonde hair, he looks like the perfect warrior and so strong and brutal. i hope we can get an sixth scale figure from here as we did with others in game of thrones, i would get it for sure.

They nailed the horror aspect of the final battle

Arrax is such a beautiful dragon. Luc is such a sweet prince that all of the audience just want to protect him and keep him away from any danger. Her mum is in pain and all of us felt that way. They really did a great job delivering the final moments of the first season. Expectations are met.

"Its the first dragon fight put to film in Game of Thrones" i guess Ryan kind of forgot about the dance above Winterfell in The Long Night, or maybe he didnt see it because his tv was not high resolution.

Elliot grihault nails all his scenes, specially his high valyrian. Probably one of the best speakers of the language just next to milly and matt.

My biggest praise for this scene is the lighting. Even in the thick of the storm you could see all the action clearly with smooth flowing shots of the dragons. Contrast that to the dumpster fire that was season 8 of got

Season 01 Finale was the proof that House of the dragon is worthy of GoT theme song

ewan's small gesture as unhinged aemond is truly amazing, he's so shy in real life too it's so adorable

Whoever cast Ewan Mitchell need a hefty raise.

Shout out to Elliot who've played Lucerys Velaryon wonderfully!!! He has delivered a lot of mixed feelings inside gracefulness in his mesmerizing performance. Well done boy!

Season finale was full of emotions.Very powerful ending to a perfect season 🖤❤️💚🐉👑

Miguel Sapochnik being one of the key architects of this project made a huge difference. His work on the main series was already critically acclaimed, but I didn’t think he’d manage to do so well in the prequel too, with little guidance from the source material (F&B is made of unreliable historical accounts, with barely any dialogues or lush descriptions to rely on, unlike ASOIAF). His incredible attention to details is one of the reasons why HOTD is off to such a good start. Spectacular directing from a true visionary. Even the actors revere him. He’ll be sorely missed in upcoming seasons. It’s a huge loss for the show.

It’s great! You get Aegon the Conqueror vibes from Aemond riding on Vhagar.

Why is nobody talking about the shade of Arrax. So pretty

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="193">3:13</a> Good to see Alduin beginning his career in movie production. Excellent consultant in producing the Vhagar scenes.

Emma D'Arcy really looks like a grown version of Milly Alcock in the thumb nail. I love the care that is going into all of the details from architecture to costumes and the music! Stunning.

I always found it a little disappointing that we never got to see Storm's End in Game Of Thrones, so I was very very happy to see it here! It looks so freaking awesome!

The Volume is such an amazing new piece of tech. The Mandalorian, The Batman and now House of the Dragons. As directors get more comfortable with it, I can't wait to see what more amazing locations and scenes we'll get in the future.

Elliot and Ewan really made the Strom's End scene an epic one 👍🙌 Amazing actors.

I'm so sad because I have to wait for season 2 for 2 years 😅I Loved every second of this Show

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="184">3:04</a> It's actually really sad the way this guy just chuckles as he casually reminisces about telling the SFX department to work on this scene through their weekend, right before he's about to head off and enjoy his. I feel sorry for the poor bastards that followed their dream and became graphics designers. Awesome job, horrible working conditions, and desperately in need of unionization.

The ending's atmosphere combined with the soundtrack and Emma's acting was *chef's kiss* I can't explain the feeling had during that scene but I'd probably never experience it again. Now I wait for s2 and brush up on my Valyrian skills more

Shoutout to the Hungarian Horntail from Goblet of Fire for assisting with the creative proccess for this scene.

The amount of effort and work put into this show to create scenes like that. My respect to all the crew, actors and people involved. Great first season overall.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the entire cast and crew who put on this absolutely smashing start to this series on screen. Seriously a triumph to modern storytelling and masterful handle of GRRM's text. I cannot wait to see the continuation in seasons to come and the nuance you use to add depth to this world!

So proud of Elliot!

The entire Storm's End sequence, both inside the castle and out in the storm, was incredible! Hat's off to the crew for pulling it off so beautifully.

Ewan is so shy😄

Arrax was so pretty. It's unique that he had like fins instead of horns. His colors were so cool! Gonna miss him :(

House of the Dragon did an amazing job on Storm's-End, I loved it 💯🔥

What a series! I was gripped from the start and cant wait for season 2.

I love how they mentioned the last 10 minutes was filmed like a horror movie it really translates and the way everything was shot made it feel so mystical and video-game like... by far the most visually striking scene I've seen on television in a long long time...just excellent

Arrax was already so strong. He would’ve been such a beast.

Hats off!! Everybody did a spectacular job 🎉

That whole sequence looked absolutely stunning on television! Well done!

I’m going to miss my handsome luke. The fear In his eyes was terrifying. His death broke my heart . Hope next season they will give us more action

This was so BRILLIANTLY done. Absolutely superb segment of this episode.

The care and detail they take to make these sequences are just absolutely stunning. I can understand why Martin said it will be two years before we see the second series. I can’t wait to see how the team make it and what technology they use.

Thinking of the scene where Arrax spits fire at Vhagar out of fear and protection twists my heart. Maybe I'll get my emotions under control in time to be emotionally battered by season 2. Lol.

No lie, I love the incredibly advanced technology used @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="192">3:12</a> to visualize the dragon fight. XD

I hope we get to see more of Baela and Rhaena dragonriding as well

phenomenal work from everyone involved

The music once again never disappoints. The synth during the dragon chase was unexpected but extremely fitting

Dance of the dragons begins 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Storm’s End sequence was so immersive that you can forget that it was created with extensive CGI. I’m still heartbroken over Luke’s death. I became quite attached to him through the latter half of the season and I look forward to seeing where young Elliot Grihault’s career goes from here.

Seeing all the effort behind the scenes makes everything more magnificent. It is easy to complain about small mistakes when you do not know/understand the tremendous scale behind the whole production.

That finale was just amazing!

#TeamGreen 💚 i love Aemond 🔥

Thanks for the cast and actors for their efforts to make this series enjoyable ❤.Can’t wait to watch season 2 although we have to wait 1-1,5 year.

Best series ever.

Such an incredible show. I’ve loved every single second of it.. Bravo!!!

"Need next season release date?" Larys Strong: "1 foot for an half answer💀"

That was an AMAZING job!

huge props to the team working on this! the finale was excellent, just like the rest of the show!

This was so well done! I'd like to thank everyone involved in this series for creating such a beautifull and immersive story. Every element of it, from writing to acting, visuals and music was absolutely amazing! The only thing I don't like is that it is over for now. Thank you and I am so excited for the next season!

"Ours is the Fury" is the coolest motto

It was a great scene. Well done.

Finale was 🔥
