This Is What Vikings Really Looks Like Without VFX & CGI | OSSA Movies

Vikings final episodes are about to launch, and it’s the right time to check out the how cleverly VFX is used in the series. So, how real is Kattegat and how much is CGI? Why the cast members had to manually drag Viking ships through up the mountains?

How much CGI is used to create the sea travels and geographical locations? And what is the most difficult task for the Vikings special effects team? The world of Vikings is as impressive and authentic as possible. But occasionally the production uses the power of computer-generated visual effects. Most of the Vikings episodes were filmed in Ireland, with the great fjords added in post-production.

But the main tasks for the special effects team was to realistically simulate the ocean. And, of course, extra boats are always added to the handful of actual ships, so the Viking fleet looked much larger. Can you ever tell where is the real location on Vikings and where is CGI?
