Founded in 2010 by Jae-myung Yu, Kwang-il
Han and Seung-wook Lee, the name "Studio Mir" comes from the Soviet
space station Mir, the first space station launched with the intention of
having humans live in space for a long period of time before the International
Space Station came into being. The project proved that collaboration can result
in significant scientific breakthroughs and Yu wanted the animation studio to
reflect that sentiment. Ultimately, he wanted Studio Mir to be a place where
the best and most passionate animation artists could work together to produce
greatness.
Due to Yu's work as the animation director
for Avatar: The Last Airbender and
his relationship with the creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko,
Studio Mir's first animation project was an enormous one: The Legend of Korra, the sequel series to Avatar. In an interview with Polygon, the directors cited their
work on Avatar, which made it
possible for the creators to place their trust in Studio Mir to work on The Legend of Korra. Aside from their
animation, Studio Mir also worked on the pre-production and storyboarding stage
with Han using real-life martial arts choreography to animate the fight scenes
in The Legend of Korra and the combat
scenes in Voltron. Although Avatar
Studios has announced more animated series will emerge from the Avatar universe, including a new earth
Avatar television series, they have not confirmed whether Studio Mir will
participate in the production.
