In anticipation for the final season of Game of Thrones, HBO released a short video detailing the extensive prosthetic work done on set. Designer Barrie Gower gives fans an overall view of the daunting process, revealing the tiring hours the team spends applying and removing the special effects makeup.

Starting off with six White Walkers in season four to an entire army this coming season eight, Gower and the rest of the prosthetics department made sure that Game of Thrones doesn’t end in vain.

Watch the full video above. Game of Thrones season eight premieres on April 14.
