The end

Game of Thrones' triumphant finale attracted an incredible 19.3 million viewers on HBO's American platforms alone. While the conclusion may have divided the audience and critics, no-one could argue against the cinematic fidelity of the visual effects and overall look of the show. Mohsen and his crew's initial excitement about working on one of the biggest shows — and cultural events — in the world didn't dissipate, either.



"It was surreal to work on it in the first place," he says. "There was this crazy amount of anticipation and buzz around it. I think the best thing was that it didn't come out all at once. Usually, you go to the theatre, you watch your work and you're done. But we were waiting to see our stuff on the show — and seeing it and the buzz around it. That culture was new to us."



The crew was so passionate about the show that they came into the office on weekends to make good shots better, without being asked. But for Mohsen, one particular moment stood out in their epic Game of Thrones adventure:



"When we got the first official edit of Dany's death sequence, we watched it with some big fans on the production side — and they had tears in their eyes," Mohsen recalls. "They got so emotional knowing what was going to happen. Even though it had no sound, and it was all green, just watching the edit still had a big impact on them."
