There’s a lot of excitement brewing for the next season of Game of Thrones. One of the most exciting things is that we’ll finally get to see what’s become of Daenerys’ dragons.
If you watch above, you can get a glimpse into the special effects work that goes into creating the fire-breathing creatures, but in a new interview, the Washington Post went one step further by speaking with some of the people behind the effects work. As it turns out, those fearsome dragons are nothing more than animated grocery store chickens:
“I was looking for an animal so we can really discover how the muscles underneath should work,” said Sven Martin, Pixomondo’s visual effects supervisor. “I called over all the animators and they all had to just play with the chicken … You could feel how the muscles underneath are moving and what are the restrictions, where the bone can’t go. We built our dragon basically the same way.”
Huh, who knew that dragons were made out of such delicious creatures? Wonder if they taste just as good, too.
