In celebration of the start of Game of Thrones Season 6 and to promote their new Game of Thrones range of notebooks, Moleskine has remade the opening in paper using only paper architecture models. Created by Milan-based animation studio Dadomani, the stop motion video uses over 7,600 paper cutouts. That’s a crazy amount of effort for a promo vid. The new Game of Thrones stationery is very tempting. Looking to get your hands on a boxed set, including wax seals, Moleskine book and letterheads? Embiggen Books in Melbourne has the Lannister and Stark sets, the last we saw (end of April 2016).

In other Game of Thrones news, you can also watch the cinematic in 360 video via the show’s official Facebook page. Via the Verge:
The video shows all the usual haunts, starting at the capital of King’s Landing, before zooming up to Winterfell, the ex-Stark stronghold of the North, and up to the Wall that keeps the White Walkers out of Westeros. The tight-angle zoom means you’re not free to explore the chunky map at your own leisure, but by spinning the camera around, you can get an idea of the surrounding geography of a city before you’re whisked on to the next location. Spin it too far, however, and you get the weird image of the continents of Westeros and Essos appearing above you, wrapped around as if they were trapped inside a reverse globe.
