Abstract

This study analyzes into the characteristic appearance in distintion with emotional changes toward visual forms of psychology along with character development in the 3D animation industry. In this regard, the study seeks to propose essential targets of the five emotional characters from the Pixar's animation Inside-Out to prove psychological effects to the character's visual appearance. As a previous research, the study analysis the visual representations oriented toward both emotional facial expression and emotional color expression using both Paul Ekman and Robert Plutchik's human basic emotion research. The purpose of this study is to present the visual guideline of emotional character's appearance through the various human expression for differentiated character development in animation production.

본 연구는, 발전하는 3D 애니메이션 영상산업의 캐릭터 개발과 관련하여, 심리변화를 중심으로 감정의 표현방법을 위한 캐릭터의 외형별 특징 분석에 대한 연구로, 2015년 픽사의 인사이드 아웃을 중심으로 심리의 시각적 형태를 위한 5명 캐릭터의 감성별 외형 특징을 대상으로 분석논문을 진행하였다. 이를 위해 선행연구로 인간의 심리적 범주의 변화를 심리학자 Paul Ekman과 Robert Plutchik의 기본감정을 연구배경으로 선택, 이를 바탕으로 애니메이션 인사이드아웃 속 사춘기 소녀의 심리요소를 대표하는 다섯 캐릭터의 외형적 특징 요소를 감성별 표정변화와 감성별 색상변화를 심리적 관점에서 접근, 시각적인 표현의 방식에 대하여 분석하였다. 본 연구는 3D 애니메이션 제작과 관련하여 감성 표현을 통한 캐릭터 설정에 필수적인 외형 특징 연구가 필요하다고 판단, 향후 애니메이션 제작을 위한 차별화된 캐릭터 설정 및 개발에 필요한 가이드라인을 제시하는 것에 본 연구의 목적과 의의를 두었다.
