Watch Daenerys flying into battle in thrilling 'Game of Thrones' behind-the-scenes video
Watch Next

No other TV show (and few films) can beat the spectacular special effects in Game of Thrones, and a new behind-the-scenes video shows us exactly what goes into bringing Westeros to life.

Sneakily, there's some Season 6 footage spliced in with the Season 7 shots, which makes it hard to tell which visual effects are old and which are new -- but the video does feature Daenerys Targaryen riding one of her dragons into battle against a greenscreen backdrop, and judging by her costume, this is part of her battle against the Lannister army, which was previewed in the Season 7 trailer and this photo of a dragon roasting some unwitting Lannister soldiers.

The video also reveals the visual effects behind a dramatic sea battle featuring Theon Greyjoy, who is likely being targeted by his uncle Euron. To see these scenes in all their glory, we'll have to wait until Game of Thrones Season 7 premieres on July 16.
