The title sequence of the HBO fantasy television series Game of Thrones, which first aired in 2011, depicts a three-dimensional map of the series's fictional world, projected onto the inside of a Dyson-like sphere[1] and lit by a small sun surrounded by an astrolabe at the sphere's center. As the camera swoops across the map and focuses on the locations in which the episode's events take place, complicated clockwork mechanisms let buildings and other structures emerge from the map and unfold. Meanwhile, accompanied by Ramin Djawadi's title music, the names of the principal cast and creative staff are displayed. The sequence concludes after about one and a half minutes with the title card and brief opening credits indicating the episode's writers and directors.
The title sequence was created by Elastic for HBO. Creative director Angus Wall, art director Robert Feng, animator Kirk Shintani and designer Hameed Shaukat received the 2011 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Design for their work on the sequence.[2]
