Comment on North Korea is evading sanctions by animating Max and Amazon shows
CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 6 months agoWhat’s more likely is Amazon and HBO contracted a South Korean studio who subcontracted a Chinese studio for some of the more mundane animations, and they proceeded to sub-subcontract a North Korean studio.
There’s a lot of outsourcing for animation, this happened like 15 years ago with Avatar: The Last Airbender, where one of the South Korean studios involved with Book 3 subcontracted some work to China (cursory Google says DR Movie, which collaborated with a Chinese studio based in Qingdao)

Reposting part of a comment I made in another thread about this, but:
And that’s not to mention the western animation that gets outsourced to these places, South Korea especially.
The fact North Korea is also involved in this complex outsourcing process shouldn’t be surprising to anyone who knows anything about how that industry works.
