00:00Coming to Wales has been a real special treat as a filmmaker.

00:05These Welsh landscapes are literally the biggest playing fields for narrative action I've ever seen.

00:11Hi, I'm Lonnie Parasteer. I'm the executive producer and the director on Season 2 of HBO's House of the Dragon.

00:22Welcome to Wales, my friends. We are at the foot of what is going to be Harrenhal.

00:27You're going to see some unbelievable man-made structures that lead into a digital landscape that we're going to put on screen for you.

00:34And it is absolutely the biggest thing you've ever seen.

00:37And the landscape that we have here, which is the former location of giant man-made slate mines,

00:43is going to become the foundation for us of our castle of Harrenhal.

00:48Working in Wales is an incredible experience. You can have four seasons in one day.

00:57What does that mean? Rain, sun, clouds, rain, sun, clouds.

01:01Because we have these changing seasons, because we have these erratic designs, because we have this living, breathing anger of an environment,

01:09we get these vast, green landscapes that are pushed by strong winds, that are downpoured on by strong rains

01:16and basically become the rage and beauty of the world that is House of the Dragon.

01:23Our beaches go on forever, and that's where Driftmark is. Our green, rolling landscapes become the Riverlands.

01:30In addition to that, the low-lying clouds on the mountains evoke the height of the Vale.

01:35And so when we're in the Vale here, Wales provides those clouds in camera.

01:40And it's these kinds of elements, these clouds, this slate, that make this show great, because we're here making it in a real place.

01:49I feel extremely fortunate to work with our local crews, extremely fortunate to create sets inside of these beautiful landscapes,

01:57extremely fortunate to basically craft our story in Season 2 for House of the Dragon.

02:02These Welsh landscapes are a gift for all of us.
