Excuse us for living under a rock, but we just discovered this video of Cebu being GOT-ified, and color us impressed. Filipino 3D artist Carlisle Tabanera gave Cebu the full Game of Thrones treatment with an epic theme video that reimagined the city through a GOT lens.

The animated video, partnered with a fantasy-esque Sinulog theme, has been gaining buzz online—and for good reason.

It’s dope. 

Made with 3D software tool Blender, Carlisle of House Tabanera created the whole project from scratch—including the music that he arranged and produced himself. The details of the animated intro go toe to toe with GOT’s intro. In place of the Dothraki Sea and King’s Landing, the artist reimagined the white facade of the Cebu Provincial Capital and the circular layout of Fuente Osmena.

He even incorporated Spanish galleons at the beginning of the video for a dash of history. And before this video, we’d never seen Fort San Pedro or Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño de Cebu in such fine animated detail before.

To top it all off, even the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway made an appearance.

“I still have so much to learn and improve on, but I am very happy with how it turned out. I hope you all enjoy this very humble work of art that's dedicated to this beautiful island,” shared Tabanera on Instagram.

This one’s definitely for all the GOT fans out there. The artist definitely gave justice to GOT and the wondrous city that is Cebu. Now, Cebuanos can imagine they’re living in a GOT fantasy thanks to Tabanera’s video… but let’s just keep the GOT politics in fiction.

We’ve got enough political drama happening in reality.
