The Game Of Thrones Opening Credits

John Axelrod of Forbes:

How to construct one? They have approximately three months to produce the credits, and create the sequences for all 10 episodes in one batch. The credits change weekly as campaigns expand or end in ignoble defeat, and all every location in the episode must appear on the atlas. 

The music alone might make it the best title sequence in all of television, but the intricate animation work — which changes week-to-week — just puts it over the top.

Game Of Thrones Premieres To Record Ratings, Piracy

Ryan Lawler for TechCrunch:

What’s clear from the data is that not all the pirated downloads are coming from markets that didn’t have access to the show in the hours immediately after airing, and in fact, there’s a large number of viewers in the U.S. who just aren’t paying to watch the show.

Those behind Game of Thrones have suggested that a lot of the piracy stems from places like Australia, where the show faces a very long window before it’s available. And there is clearly quite the piracy problem there. But it’s not the number one market when it comes to pirating the show. That would be the U.S.

And it will remain the U.S. until we can legally buy the show immediately without a cable subscription.
