The characters fighting for Westeros in Game of Thrones are fighting mostly for CGI backdrops. Like many others TV series and movies, visual effects is a huge part of the production process as it handles details both great and small.

If you want to see the seams, you have to get a visual breakdown of how the shots are put together.
