There be dragons! Fire-breathing creatures co-star with cutting-edge special effects at Consol Energy Center

TribLIVE: Shield and sword-bearing Vikings tussle, tumble and breakdance while attempting to ward off the attack of flame-breathing dragons, who threaten to burn their village. Hiccup, a teen-aged Viking misfit, finds his calling through a swiftly moving succession of stunningly beautiful locations.

The pictures of the production are very impressive. I personally enjoyed the movie and will always be a dragon fan. To be able to bring to life these creatures for children and adults to experience is an incredible feat. Having corporation willing to experiment is what makes this field so exciting and also what gives us the next innovation in entertainment technology. It would be a dream to one be able to build creatures of ones imagination.

After reading this article I couldn't help but look up a video of the production on youtube. If you haven't already watched it this 20min sneak peak is really interesting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG79bpPFeLc). I had no idea that this was such an incredibly vast and technically complicated/advanced show. This is mostly attributed to the fact that I previously knew very little about it, but even after watching this video there are elements that I'm still trying to wrap my head around.
