LO1/2:With the new rig i decided to start with the controllers first and then move to the painting of weights when i was happy with the controllers as the painting of weights is the most time consuming part of the process. This time i reference in the model file so i can change the model if i need to without messing up the rig.

This tutorial series is a god send with easy step by step instructions with written notes below which when clicked on take me to the right point in the film I have been able to create leg and back controllers for the rig.
To create the controllers I found a tutorial on how to create nurds controls that are more advanced that my nurds circles. This will allow the controls to easily accessible when animating.
