What was is like shooting that scene?

It was a little surreal but mostly fun.

I mean you have to make it fun to take the nastiness out of it on set.
His character takes a nose dive into darkness this season in some respects.
And I thought fantastic; this is going to be both poignant and horrible.
And that’s what we did.
Poor Iwan took it on the chin a few times but he did an amazing job.
Really disconcerting and kind of disturbing.
When Ramsay had his hounds attack Lady Walda the choice was made to not show anything really.
What options were weighed for how much to show here?
In a way I agree, this is not a time to be morally ambiguous.
Ramsay needs to die, and horribly.
This is what the audience has been waiting to see.
That said, there’s no need to dwell on the actual carnage.
What’s left to our imagination is always way worse.
The other thing I loved was the close-up shot of Sansa as she watches the dogs attack.
It’s my favorite shot of my episodes this year.
