When Taehoon Park started work on Korea, an experimental video animation project, his main objective was to create something funny. At the end of the process, however, the video animation project is not just funny; it is also beautiful.
Korea is the 10th video animation project by Park and his study group. The main purpose of the video project, according to Park, “is to study and practice cloth simulations.” It was also an opportunity for him to try some different concepts of his usual work.
The idea for the project began soon after Park finished studying Marvelous Designer and Mixamo, two important tools for animation and 3D projects. As proof that he understood what he learned, he decided to create an experimental video animation project with the tools. The result is Korea.
Taehoon Park began the project with research. “While considering and researching, I found the Korean traditional things (clothes, environment, and accessories) are very beautiful and detailed,” he explained. That was when he decided to create a fun, funny, and kind of weird animation.
Korea is a beautiful animation project of dancing Korean attires. Even Taehoon Park is pleased with his creation. “Studying Marvelous Designer was really fun and easy,” he said. The fact that he could create a dancing simulation after studying only one day of Marvelous Designer and Mixamo is a confidence booster for this young motion graphic designer. The texturing of the traditional Korean clothes and creating the environments “were super fun.”
