What's it like working on Game of Thrones? Rob McLachlan shares details 6:19

After a shocking end to last season, Game of Thrones fans are abuzz with excitement as they ready themselves for Season 4 in the epic fantasy series.

Vancouver cinematographer Rob McLachlan works on the show and shares a few details about what fans can look forward to.

What was it like working on Season 4?

Well it was actually my second season. The season that just aired this time last year, I had the privilege of working on the "Red Wedding" episode. My primary goal on that was not to give anything away visually, so the viewers would go down that much more.

These episodes look like feature length films. How much attention is given to cinematography?

A lot, but you've got to remember that we're also taking pictures of very beautiful things. It doesn't matter how good a cinematographer you are, if you are given a crumby looking set or an uninspiring location to work in, you're always going to be working to polish something up that doesn't polish up anymore. And that's the inspiring thing about Game of Thrones.

When I first got there, the director and I walked over to look at the sets, it took my breath away. This show has a big investment in infrastructure with absolutely stunning sets. There is a huge amount of attention and care by the producers, who have impeccable taste. And as a cinematographer your heart leaps because you can really do something special.

What impact does that have on the storytelling ?

It impacts all the technicians, but also the actors. They get there, they're garbed in these incredible costumes, and you've got all these elements in place. It makes all of us want to bring up our game.

The other thing, and I've worked on dozens and dozens of TV shows, but usually you get the script, if you're lucky a week before you start shooting. But it looks like I'm going back to work on Season 5 in August, and we were just handed the outline for the whole season.

So months in advance I'm already chewing on stuff and I've got an idea of the locations, so all that stuff impacts the quality of the finished product.

You along with director Michelle McLaren have been called something like the demonic Canadian duo - how do you feel about that title?

Actually, what happened was aftera particularly debauched scene, it prompted Dave Benioff, the show's creator to call us his "demented Canadian duo". From him, on that show, that was a big compliment.

So Michelle and I both looked at the season and thought we've really got to take it to the limit.

Let's talk about the "Red Wedding" episode. You directed the photography for it, how much debate went into how graphic it was?

Here's the thing, There was more graphic violence in other episodes and on other episodes of TV. But here's the big difference, with that episode, everybody loved those two characters so much. So that made it ten times worse because it was people who the viewers, myself included, cared about.

The other thing was that no one saw it coming. If it's a battle scene, or a trial, you know there's going to be blood, but with this, I tried to light it and shoot in a way that made everybody think they were going to get the happy ending they were so badly hoping for.

Game of Thrones at the best of times, at the best of time is very dark and moody and there's often a lot of darkness and shadow, but I really wanted to make that wedding feel really up, almost Disney-esque, so that when we pulled the rug out from under the audience, they would fall that much harder.

We did a lot of travelling for the show, at one point I think I was on about two dozen flights over the course of the season. I was going through passport control in Holland, and the young border guy was being quite officious.

He questioned why I'd had all this back and forth travel, and he asked me what I did. I said I worked on a television show, and he asked which one, so I said "Game of Thrones". And he completely dropped his officious demeanour, said "Game of Thrones! That Red Wedding episode, I couldn't sleep for a week afterwards" and then he wanted to question me for ten minutes while a big long line up of people gathered behind me.

What can you tell us about Season 4 and 5?

Well the season that's about to air is bigger than season 3 in scope and scale. There are some amazing story points, and season 5, from what I can tell is going to be even bigger still.

The show just gets bigger and bigger as the audience gets more universal. So the best thing about it is that while the scope and the scale goes up and up, the writing at its core is still spectacularly good and you can't help but get invested in all these amazing countries. It's going to be big and you're going to love it.

Everything You Need To Know For Game Of Thrones' Season 4

There's only a few short days until the Season 4 premiere of "Game of Thrones," and we know you're literally counting down the hours.

Last season ended with a lot of characters headed in different directions, and we were left emotionally scarred after that episode. Since there are far too many characters and storylines and locations to keep track of and remember, we're here to help you brush up on all things "GoT" before Season 4 airs on Sunday, April 6. Don't worry, there are no spoilers for the new season, but obviously there are major spoilers for Season 3.

Here's everything you need to know before you return to Westeros on Sunday:

There's a new character: Prince Oberyn
Get ready to welcome a new face in Season 4 when Prince Oberyn Martell waltzes into King's Landing. Played by Pedro Pascal ("Graceland"), Prince Oberyn is the brother of Prince Doran and is known as the Red Viper of Dorne. In the first episode of Season 4 we'll find out what his agenda is.

Jaime is back in King's Landing
The Kingslayer has returned home! It's all great and exciting that Jaime is no longer a prisoner, but on the other hand (pun intended -- sorry we had to!) his reunion with Cersei probably isn't going to be all lovey dovey as we thought. Lena Headey teased a bit about their relationship to EW, saying his loss of manhood (his hand, not that) is definitely going to change things.

The number of eunuchs has doubled
Speaking of cut-off body parts, Varys isn't the only eunuch in the Seven Kingdoms anymore (or at least that we know of). Poor Theon Greyjoy had a terrible Season 3 when he was tortured by the sadistic Ramsay, resulting in the gruesome removal of his ... manhood. At least the season ends with his sister Yara heading out to rescue him.

Arya killed a man
Arya grew into a much more aggressive character last season and finally let out all her rage on an innocent man. She (repeatedly) stabbed him to death and was hardly fazed by it. Maisie Williams hinted at Arya's growing brutality and dark side in the coming season, and we're not surprised.

The Hound saved Arya
The Hound took Arya with him outside of Walder Frey's castle following the Red Wedding, saving her life and further proving he really is a good guy. It looks like the two of them are going to be a bit of a team in Season 4, which sounds nothing but awesome.

Joffrey and Margaery are getting married
The Royal Wedding is on the way in Season 4, so expect lots of extravagance, lots of Joffrey bitching, and feeling really, really sorry for poor Margaery -- but hey, at least she'll be wueen!

Dany embarks on a new path: freeing the slaves
Daenerys freed the people of Yunkai, a slave city, at the end of Season 3 and they all called her "mhysa" meaning "mother." Freeing slaves is definitely her new mission now. Oh, and she still has her dragons, which have definitely grown up a lot by now.

Daario Naharis is going to look a lot different
We first met Daario last season when he vowed to serve under Daenerys last season. He was the long-haired, stern-jawed, Legolas-looking one -- the kind of dreamy guy we'd expect Dany to go for. But Ed Skrein, who played Daario last season, has been replaced by Michiel Huisman in Season 4, whom you may recognize as Liam from "Nashville."

Ygritte shot Jon Snow with 3 arrows
Jon Snow ditched Ygritte after betraying the Wildlings and killing the warg, but then she caught up with him and shot him with three arrows. Things were definitely left off pretty bad between the two (ugh just make up and kiss already), but Jon managed to safely arrive at Castle Black, although his fate remains unknown after betraying the Night's Watch.

Sansa Stark is now Sansa Lannister
Let's not forget that Sansa was forced to marry Tyrion last season, but technically the bedding ceremony still hasn't been completed (thankfully). They're both Joffrey's least favorite people in King's Landing, so it will be interesting to see how the two interact as husband and wife in the coming season.

Cersei is still supposed to marry Loras Tyrell
According to Tywin Lannister, Cersei is supposed to marry Loras Tyrell, meaning her soon-to-be son-in-law will become her husband. That also means Joffrey (her son) would then become her brother-in-law, or something messed up like that, and we're not even taking the incest into account.

Jaime made a promise to Brienne
Remember how he swore a vow to return Sansa to her family once they got back to King's Landing? Will Jaime keep his promise? (Although Sansa doesn't exactly have a family anymore.)

Bran is heading North of the Wall
Bran's going on the scariest journey of any "Game of Thrones" character this new season. He said goodbye to his little brother Rickon and Osha as they headed toward safety and he trekked North of the Wall with Hodor and the Reeds siblings. Luckily he has Sam's dragonglass blade in case he runs into any White Walkers.

Sam and Gilly have returned to Castle Black safely
They survived! The baby is okay! Sam's not in trouble with the Night's Watch! Now that Sam's killed a White Walker, rescued a damsel in distress and her baby, and safely returned to the Wall, we have some pretty high expectations for him this season.

Littlefinger left King's Landing
He sailed off to Vale of Arryn at the end of Season 3 after unsuccessfully trying to get Sansa to come with him. Who knows when we'll see him again, but we honestly won't miss the guy that much.

News of the White Walkers is out
At the end of Season 3, Davos reads Stannis the message from the Night's Watch that the White Walkers have returned. Stannis says he'll march north to help protect the Wall, but he seems like too selfish of a guy to do something so noble.

Davos helped Gendry escape Stannis' dungeon
After sharing the news with Stannis, Davos helps Gendry escape imprisonment and sends him off to King's Landing in a row boat. However, Gendry can't swim, so who knows if we'll be seeing him again.

And Robb Stark, his wife, and Catelyn Stark are dead (duh)
In case you missed it, this horrendous, shocking, terrible, devastating thing known as the Red Wedding happened. It was awful and we're still not over it, but before you go into Season 4 make sure you've said your goodbyes to the last older Starks; now only the children (and Jon Snow) remain.

Season 4 of "Game of Thrones" premieres April 6 at 9 p.m. EDT on HBO.
