"Game of Thrones" fans may be familiar with the fact that production for the show took place in exotic locations like Croatia, Iceland and Spain. But fans may not know that some of the sounds for the show's dragons were recorded closer to home in Florida.
Paula Fairfield, the sound designer "Game of Thrones," visited White Oak Conservation in Yulee to find the voice of Danerys' dragons in the latest season. She used sounds from the conservation center's rhinos and cranes to bring the mythical creature to life.
A video posted to Instagram by White Oak shows Fairfield crouching near the rhino’s enclosure with a microphone. Fairfield told White Oak that using vocalizations from endangered animals was important to her.
“We live in a world where our animals are disappearing at a rapid rate," Fairfield said, according to the post. "So it's powerful for me to listen to their beautiful voices and use them in this space."
