The roles of the characters of 3D animation Toystory3, which was released in 2010 and achieved worldwide success, can be classified into typical, simple and easy-to-understand roles such as hero, villain, princess, and assistant. However, the process, in which each character's role is finally recognized by the audience, is embodied in a very colorful and exquisite manner and makes the curiosity of the audience continue effectively. The stream of the diverse role changes of the characters of Toystory3 is represented through "visual rhythm of the lighting design" and such rhythm can be confirmed most clearly in the digital colorscript stage. This researcher analyzed the characters' role changes in the work based on Propp's folktale character analysis theory, and extracted the core scenes that lead to inference, doubt, performance, reinforcement by character in order to grasp how the audience gasps major characters' role changes. The visual differences of the lighting design, which the four core scenes of each character show, were represented in graph and analyzed, and the results showed that the changes that one character has constituted rhythmical, visual contrast gradually and the rhythms of each independent character achieve visual contrast and harmony each other like the voice part of polyphony. This researcher calls this "the visual counterpoint of character's changing" and derives the conclusion that a dual visual counterpoint is hidden in the character production of the full-length animation Toystory3. Along with this, this researcher proposes the production of full-length animation that actively utilizes constructive aesthetics.

본 논문에서는 캐릭터 디자인 프로세스의 필요성을 충족시켜주기 위해 프로토타입 이론(prototype theory)에 대한 문제점을 파악하고 이를 보완하기 위하여 전형성과 동시에 중요하게 인지되는 또 다른 속성 즉 형태 심미성의 개념적 구조를 파악하였다. 그리고 심미성을 측정 할 수 있는 척도를 검증한 선행 연구를 바탕으로 심미적 영향요소중의 하나인 비례(proportion)를 추출 하였다. 이를 적용한 새로운 캐릭터 디자인 프로세스를 구축하여 캐릭터 디자이너의 아이디어 발상의 한계성을 극복하고 소비자가 선호할 수 있는 캐릭터 디자인을 창출하여 캐릭터 디자인의 성공확률을 높이고자 하는데 연구의 목적이 있다.
