viking research

So we wanted to get the research right and also have fun watching lots of viking films :) so we watched a few episodes of a game of thrones. In this it showed the costumes vikings would have worn the patterns and textures of pillars and buildings. What they sounded like. Here's a clip from youtube, it's a really good show i recommend it.

In my spare time i also watched some other movies that would help with research. Thor was a good one to watch as Odin's in it we based some of the costume of this. I also watched Outlander and the 13th warrior which are awesome and show the way they lived and what they lived in etc... Here's some clips.

Thor

Outlander

The 13th warrior

I've posted two more on the 13th warrior below because it's just a brilliant film, one of my favourites. From start to finish it's just so good, every time i see bits of it i just wanna watch the whole thing.

Here's a language scene. You tell em Antonio Bandajdbjbjnve :D

prayer scene

Also looked at a few games for research skyrim and viking proved to be useful. 

Skyrim had great sounds and music references. There is lots of norse chants and language in skyrim. Viking was good for costumes and lifestyle too. 

Here's the theatrical trailer too that bethesda created for the tv

good for our research

and lastly here's the viking game.
