Kimchi and Butter's Making Teokbokki!

I have been neglecting my blog lately, so I'm going to take some time and update about the last few weeks.

In March, my friend, JiSung, and I started filming for the 2nd Annual UCC Video Competition. The contest is run jointly between Google and KoreaBrand.net and is trying to increase global awareness about Korea and its culture. This year's contest was "My Korean Recipe."

We have been keeping our meetings/filming a secret for the most part, however we are finally done now and ready to reveal our video! It is making Teokbokki which is a favourite Korean snack made basically from rice-cakes and hot-red pepper paste. We decided that we wanted to do something fun and unique instead of a typical 'cooking show' and so we made it a stop-motion video, which turns out to be not as unique as we hoped as there were about 4 or 5 others who made a similar movie. However, I think ours has good taste (no pun intended) and is very entertaining.

In total it took about 20 hours to make and around 1000 photos. I hope you enjoy it! The competition is won by a panel of judges, and by youtube comments and views. So be sure to click on it again and again! The contest runs from April 1st to April 30th.
