초록

인터넷 네트워크 기술의 발전이 촉발한 새로운 OTT 영상 콘텐츠 플랫폼은 콘텐츠에 대한 수요를 늘리고 소비 패턴을 변화시키고 있다. 이러한 흐름은 한국 애니메이션 산업에 긍정적인 변화를 가져오고 있으며, 다양하고 고품질의 애니메이션 콘텐츠가 점점 더 중요해지고 있다. 기술 투자가 증가함에 따라 영상 제작 기술도 계속 발전하고있다. 특히, 3D 애니메이션과 VFX 제작 기술은 이전에는 생각할 수 없었던 효과들을 가능하게 하며 정교하고 사실적인 그래픽을 구현하게 해주고 있다. 4차 산업 혁명은 이러한 기술 발전에 새로운 기회를 제공하고 있다. 인공지능(AI)의 성장은 반복 작업을 자동화해 제작 효율을 향상시키고, 기존의 제작 기술을 넘어서는 혁신을 가능하게 하고 있다. 첨단 기술이 기반인 3D 애니메이션과 VFX는 지속적으로 연구되며, 제작 과정에 더욱 적극적으로 통합될 것으로 예상된다. 디지털 기술은 또한 아티스트의 창의력을 확장하는 역할을 하고 있다. AI와 첨단 기술의 미래는 무한한 잠재력을 지니고 있으며, 이를 통해 영상 콘텐츠 산업이 어떤 새로운 단계로 나아갈 수 있을지 기대가 높아지고 있다.

The advancement of Internet network technology has triggered the emergence of new OTT video content platforms, increasing demand for content and altering consumption patterns. This trend is bringing positive changes to the South Korean animation industry, where diverse and high-quality animation content is becoming increasingly important. As investment in technology grows, video production technology continues to advance. Specifically, 3D animation and VFX production technologies are enabling effects that were previously unthinkable, offering detailed and realistic graphics. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is providing new opportunities for this technological growth. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is automating repetitive tasks, thereby enhancing production efficiency and enabling innovations that go beyond traditional production methods. Cutting-edge technologies like 3D animation and VFX are being continually researched and are expected to be more actively integrated into the production process. Digital technology is also expanding the creative horizons for artists. The future of AI and advanced technologies holds boundless potential, and there is growing anticipation for how these will elevate the video content industry to new heights.
