The Power Behind The Throne
"Powering through ice and fire with Sean Savage, Assoc BSC, ACO, SOC.
After nine years, eight seasons and 73 episodes, 2020 saw HBO mega-hit “Game of Thrones” reach its epic conclusion. The final season pulled in over one billion viewers across 170 countries proving that appointment to view television is still alive.
As “A” Camera Operator (Dragon Unit) Sean Savage, BSC has contributed to every episode, shooting lavish sequences in acclaimed episodes “The Long Night”, “The Spoils of War”, The Rains of Castamere (AKA “The Red Wedding”) and “Blackwater”.
Shooting in parallel with “Wolf Unit”, Sean’s Dragon Unit took on creating the show’s signature wild and wintry scenes. “We shot anywhere that was minus ten degrees,” says Sean, “Wolf Unit got Croatia, Malta, Spain and Morocco, Dragon Shot in Iceland and Ireland - it was tough”. Powering the Dragon unit through nine tough years, Anton/Bauer’s DIONIC and VCLX battery solutions proved to be the power behind the throne."
