This study aims to understand the using characteristics of TV animation and web-based animation of children and investigate the effects of change in viewing process on the purchase of character goods. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted for parents who have children as animation viewers. The results show that there was no difference by age or gender in using both TV and web animation. When parents get animation information on TV, they had their children watch animation through the same TV channel, but the web has no significant relationship between information acquisition path and main service they use. In addition, it is found that parent' perception of TV animation superiority is influenced by respondents' income and children's watching time of animation has no effect on it. Finally, monthly income of households, payment amount of web animation, watching time of TV animation, and perception of quality of TV animation have a significant effect on parents' active purchase of character goods. On the other hand, the purchase intention of the recommended goods is influenced by children's age, the parent's perception about the web animation quality, and the payments of the web animation.

전통적으로 3차원 애니메이션에서 캐릭터의 동작에 관한 연구는 주로 동작의 사실적인 표현에 중점을 두고 있다. 그러나 이러한 사실적인 애니메이션은 전통적인 2차원 애니메이션에 익숙한 관객들이 어색함을 느끼는 원인이 되기도 한다 이로 인해 전통적인 2차원 애니메이션의 기법을 3차원 애니메이션에 적용하는 비사실적 (non photorealistic) 애니메이션 기법이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전통적인 2차원 애니메이션기법 중 하나인 기대 효과(anticipation effect)를 3차원 애니메이션의 캐릭터 동작에 적용하는 자동화된 방법을 제시한다. 전통적인 2차원 애니메이션 기법에 따르면 기대 효과는 애니메이션을 더 설득력 있고 풍부하게 만드는 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 기대 효과는 주요한 동작이 일어나기 이전에 반대 방향의 동작이 이루어지는 것으로 나타난다. 3차원 애니메이션에서 캐릭터의 동작은 각 관절의 회전과 캐릭터 중심의 이동으로 표현되기 때문에, 주요한 동작에 대하여 각 관절의 회전과 캐릭터 중심의 이동에서 반대 방향의 움직임을 찾아 주요한 동작 이전에 연결하는 것으로 기대 효과의 동작을 표현할 수 있다. 모션 캡쳐나 키 프레임 방법을 통해 미리 제작된 애니메이션 파일로부터 기대효과를 생생하기 위해 동작 데이터를 분석하여, 기대 효과의 추가가 필요한 주요 동작의 각 관절별 회전을 외삽하여 반대 방향의 회전 움직임을 생생하고 무게 중심의 이동을 예측하여 주요 동작과 반대 방향의 움직임을 갖는 기대 동작을 생성한다. 이후, 생성된 기대 동작과 원래의 동작을 기대 효과의 타이밍을 고려하여 합성하는 것으로 기대효과가 포함된 자연스러운 애니메이션 동작을 얻을 수 있다.

The advancement of computer technology has blurred the border in image expression between live-action films and 3D animation to an indistinguishable extent. Despite the ever-evolving image expression, it has been found that animation properly incorporating abstractive expression receives more positive responses from the audience than the animation closely akin to live-action films. This indicates that animation-specific abstractive expression can exert more significant effects than that of live-action expression as proved in Dr. Mori Masahiro's 'Uncanny Valley.' Also, such effects apply only to characters, whilst the technology capable of live-action expression is acknowledged only for the background of 3D animation. Without doubt, animation has its own infinite world of expression, and thus more effective methods for its expression can no longer be considered a matter of technology. The present study analyzes the abstractive expression of 3D animation in terms of characters and backgrounds and explores a more effective method to apply the current technology of image expression to 3D animation with a view to proposing a direction for more appropriate application of 3D animation technology to future animation.

Now a day, lots of the animations include TV series Animations are made by the technique of 3D Animation. However, 3D Animation obstructs visual elements and deteriorates an acquaintance with the limit of unfamiliar material methods and dispersion of light. For this reason, a large of number of 3D Animations are repacked with the style of 2D Animation. Most of previous studies for the conversion of output 3D Animation to the style of 2D Animation are analysis for 2D rendering techniques. In case of Non-realistic 3D Character Animation, first and foremost it needs investigation of the basic producing method for the 2D Animation is different with the realistic expression way of the one for the 3D animation. For a case study, expression methods for the non-realistic and the non-actuality 2D Character Animation come with impossible ways in the real life. This study for the 3D Animation with the style of 2D Animation is to investigate on the keynote for effective expression methods, when we turn 3D Animation into the style of 2D Animation.

Most animation films running on cinema or TV are based on 3D images. Domestically, a lot of 3D animations are produced, and the number of 3D animation films are on the annual rise. Many human resources relating to animation participate in a variety of domestic and foreign animation projects of domestic producers. In the animation participate in a variety resources are of more importance. As a result, many university make the effort to raise human resources for 3D animation. In this paper, we will look into the curriculum of 3D animation. In particular, based on the questionnaire survey in which domestic 3D animation producers participated, this study analyzed the survey results and tried to discuss how to rise human resources for creative 3D animation in university. It is aimed at suggesting the directions of raising human resources for 3D animation in proper 3D animation education and of their contributions to the development of the domestic 3D animation industry.

The aesthetics of Japanese animation have developed in earnest since Tezuka Osamu produced TV animation . This is because provided the aesthetic foundation of '3-comma animation' and 'limited animation techniques based on 8 frames per second. In fact, Miyazaki Hayao and Takahata Isao of Ghibli studio have expanded the influence of the Japanese animation industry to the world through the production of feature animation based on 3-comma animation. Inoue Toshiyuki, who participated as an animator in many works representing the Japanese animation industry, also said that the essential feature of Japanese animation aesthetics is 3 comma animation that shows the impressive movement of the character concisely. As such, 3-comma animation technique is the main aesthetic background that has led to the industrial development of Japanese animation.

정부가‘일본문화 4차 개방계획’에 따라 올 1월로 검토해온 극장용 애니메이션 분야의 전면개방을 2006년으로 2년간 유예했다. 이에 따라 애니메이션 업계는 일단‘급한 불은 껐다’는 안도의 한숨을 내쉬지만 여전히 국산 애니메이션의 자생력을 기르기 위한 제도적 지원방안이 결여돼 있다는데 실망감을 내비치고 있다. 더욱이 극장용 애니메이션 개방이 보류됐다고 해도‘케이블TV · 위성 방송 중심으로 방송 프로그램 개방폭 확대’를 골자로 한 일본문화 4차 개방계획이 발표됨에 따라 각 방송사들은 각종 해외작품을 자사 방송사에 편성하려는데 전력을 기울이고 있어 국내 애니메이션은 설자리를 잃어가고 있는 실정이다. 이번 조치가 과연 국내 애니메이션 업계를 활성화시킬 수 있는 기회로 작용할지 최근 국내 애니메이션 업계의 현주소를 진단해본다.

Many of the modern animations have 3D technology, and as time goes by, their production technology becomes more diverse and sophisticated. When John Alan Lasseter insisted on studying CG animation technology, he might have taken our jobs to the computer in the near future, as many people were worried about. It may be premature to worry that an unstable future may become a reality at this point, but I do not think there will be any difference in the fact that many animations are being produced using 3D technology. Since the Toy Story was screened in 1995, the 3D animation production technology has started to develop rapidly and now it has been elaborately developed so that it can not distinguish the part where computer graphics technology is applied from the live film. On the other hand, Disney's 2D animation part falls into the decline path because the appearance of 3D animation was perceived as a new expression technique at that time, and the efficiency of the work process was superior to the 2D animation in addition to receiving the attention from the audience. Is it necessary to accept the retrogression of 2D animation technology, reflecting the environment of the animation industry that 3D animation production technology has become mainstream in the first 20 years since the first theatrical works appeared? Since 2D animation technology has a long history and is still attractive to the audience, it is not hard to find an attempt to combine 2D and 3D animation technology. In this paper, I want to study 2D hand - drawn character in 3D animation. Through this, it is hoped that animation convergence technology will be applied more actively in the future.

Independent short animation was the expression method for young animation creators through creative and progressive representation. Since the birth of animation, independent short animation has become a driving force for qualitative development and diversification of animation. This has brought many works to the world that emphasize experimentation and challenges in the history of animation and in countries that have the rich animation resources such as France, Japan, and Canada, they recognize its importance and supports young creators in order to maintain the value of it. However, Korean animations are evaluated the quality of works by the popularity of the children, moreover, companies that focus on developing and selling products, including toys, rather than animation works themselves and public awareness that accepts them are formed throughout the Korean animation industry. Because of these points, Korean animation creators can not express the creative vision for the future and philosophical awareness of the problem and they are trapped in commercial animation markets. In order to re-leap and expand the Korean animation industry, which has reached the saturation level with infant animation, it is necessary to reestablish the value of independent short animations with challenging and experimental characteristics and requires the creative environment and support system for the diversity of Korean animation industries, including the achieving commercial goals through good planning, story development and technological innovation. For this purpose, this paper analyzes the current state of production, screening, distribution, and government support of independent short animation in Korea, and explores the structural problems and solutions.
