Game of Thrones Studio Tour Case Study

Game of Thrones is a highly successful American fantasy drama series based on George RR Martin’s best-selling novels, which after nearly a decade on television came to an end after its eighth season. 

With legions of fans mourning its departure, the Game of Thrones studio tour attraction opened in February 2022. Located at the authentic filming location of Linen Mill Studios in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, the immersive studio tour invites visitors behind the scenes of The Seven Kingdoms and beyond.

From an engineering standpoint, the colour lighting of the sets dramatically changes their appearance, and it was equally important that the colour quality of the projectors and the displays was of the same high standards.

Panasonic’s best in class projection colour reproduction ensures the immersive experience stands out from the crowd and its 4K solutions show the finest levels of detail, without any visible pixels, for the most realistic and natural experience. The range of flexible installation options, such as Ultra Short Throw lenses, ensures the hardware stays invisible and the immersive illusion is never broken. Visitors can stand up close to the content without ever casting a shadow.

As well as the main Panasonic projectors, there are other Panasonic technologies within the space ranging from smaller projectors through to professional displays.  Some of these are blended into the set designs to hide the magic, while others are interactive displays.

David goes on to say that the ability to work with Panasonic has been fundamental in delivering what the tour set out to achieve. “Thanks to Panasonic, it is now possible to see the best that Game of Thrones can be in Northern Ireland.”
