He Only Speaks Korean!

Introduction

This animation is called "He Only Speaks Korean!". The animation is based on a clip taken from a video by the Game Grumps, where the duo were playing a fishing game, and Arin was trying to talk to another player in the game. However, Dan is telling Arin that they are most likely Korean and don't know what he is saying.

How it was made

Just like alot of the other animations here, I made this one for a Stop Motion class I was taking for my degree. The assignment was to make a Robot Chicken style animation. That's where we get existing audio and try to animate with it only using extreme body movement to indicate who's talking.

When starting the animation, I really wanted to try animating with some Dummy 13 figures that I 3D printed. For the set, I just used the inside of a box and a couch I quickly made with some amazon cardboard. I wanted to make more like a window behind them and more props, but I had used all the time I could on the backgrounds by then. Afterwards, I started animating in Dragon Frame with straight ahead animation, so no real panning went into their positions or movement. Instead, throughout the animation, I was acting out what they were saying and did my best to intergrate that into the animation.
