The VFX artists explained why Dune: Part Two's sandworm scene is much better Dragon house's dragon riding scenes reveal the main differences between the two.

now, Corridor staff they reacted to both Dune: Part Two's sandworm scene and Dragon house's dragon riding scenes VFX Artists React Episode 150. Starting at 13:06, presenters Clint, Jordan, and Nico discuss the lack of real quality in the series' dragon ridingdespite the use of a mechanical system called Bull to make the footage look realistic.

In addition to dragon flight, The crew is also comparing dust clouds in the sandworm sequence Dragon house 1 season 9 seriesWhen Rhaenys' dragon Meleys tore through the floor, scattering dust and people everywhere. They explain how the lighting isn't realistic to the level of dust thrown up, but admit that this comes from not knowing what the final product will look like when initially shot on blue screen. Check out the video below and what the Corridor Crew had to say:
Clint
: Anyone who rides a dragon always seems funny to me.Jordan
: It is difficult. And that's what's so crazy about it. All those standalone shots of the dragon itself and all the fire effects look really, really, really, really good. The moment you try to put together a person – an actor – riding one of these things, you have to go a lot in the paint because of how they're thrown around. While they have something called a Bull…like a big rodeo mechanical bull. And they shot it on a half-volume half-blue screen, like, this really cool hybrid… and the camera setup had the same programming as the money.Clint
: Dune [Part Two] sandworm scene. I expected this level of quickness, but in this way [director] Denis [Villeneuve] was that scene? Man, I loved every second of it.Niko
: It's filmed like you're going to shoot someone riding a sandworm, so every shot is like you have to get the crew there.Jordan
: Literally where is this? It's like you're riding a dragon… the most we see is it sliding left or right. Is the physical actor's lifter shifting, jumping and lifting from the saddle and stuff?
What VFX Artists' Reactions Mean for Dune: Part Two and Home of the Dragon
There are reasons why Dune stands out more
Dune: Part Two's sandworm scene is impressive for its heavy use of practical effectsensuring a high level of realism for consistency in the process. In contrast, HBO's fantasy series mostly uses digital effects to create dragon-riding scenes. Dragon house Season 3 will continue this trend. The biggest difference between the two products is that one is a movie and the other is a TV show, potentially leading to budget discrepancies and time constraints to make their presentations so different.
story Dune: Part Two Paul (Timothée Chalamet) summoned only one giant sandworm riding scene as he proved himself to the Fremen by managing to ride one. Dragon houseon the other hand, almost every episode of the show necessitated dragon ridingmeaning his budget was spread more thinly and likely had to cut corners in some areas. While this results in some less-than-stellar sequences of characters riding their dragons, it doesn't negate the concept, as its presentation wasn't as polished as the sci-fi film it's being compared to.

It is clear which one is more effective
Although Dragon house there are many reasons why its effects are not so effective Dune: Part Two's, the theatrical film is clearly distinguished by the level of effort put into creating a realistic sandworm riding scene. It also shows how a fantasy series can still develop their dragon riding scenes even if there is some limit to the effects they can use in each episode. Either way, both the movie and the show manage to live up to expectations for their respective stories.
