Game of Ro Sham Bo is Still Better than this Freaking Show

So this article is all about the dragons and how they're made in HBO's golden goose. The rigging and animating is outsourced to a studio in Germany where they... have the guy from Amazing Spiderman and Hunger Games call the shots... Don't get me wrong, the guy is pretty decent at his work, but these three things? Seriously? This guy has worked on the three most painfully average things, with nothing that hasn't already been done better elsewhere, that get hailed like gods that change things. They don't! But I digress... Let's see their toys that shape animation's future. Okay... it's their technique, kinda... So the dragons rigs were simple pretty much lizard rigs at the beginning, but as the dragons get bigger and beefier more controls pivots and features are added. The rigs are rebuild each season (yikes) and get more controllers, now they're at around 400. Bet everyone LOVES playing with it. They have controllers for the back spikes, frill, and much more. Next season there will probably controllers for each individual scale. While they go through the effort of building a new complicated rig each season they do play favorites. They build one rig from scratch and change some colors and sizes. Before you say "oouuoouu building rigs is hard" just remember: Four Hundred Controllers. Beyond that they also hide stuff they want to animate, like the rest of us. They also use bats for reference and several other animals which is genuinely insightful. While most of this bantering nothing new that is pretty useful. Honestly the rest ain't worth the time analyzing, we've heard before.
I don't want to sound mean, but article is not really all that special. While there was some decent advice it's the same basic techniques being regurgitated as if they were revolutionary. Come to think of it... This studio has a bit in common with their movies...
