The appearance of digital culture swiftly has changed the culture in domestic and international arenas before and after the year 2004 and the image and animation have become two of the most important expression media in contemporary age. Among the Japanese animations that have demonstrated the rapid development of cartoon and animation in the world, the director Dakahata Isao's 'Graves of the Fireflies' that has influenced many works has been evaluated as one of the noticeable works that has a unique method and scenario dramatization in terms of producing the original novel into an animation. This study investigates the metaphor and symbolism shown in this work according to each sequence, divides the production ability in the work into three elements and applies them to the important elements such as camera, colors and mise-en-scene when the original work is depicted into image. It can be summarized in more detail as in the following: firstly, I study the rhythm of camera corresponding to the symbolism of the angle that the camera has and production; secondly, I analyze the artistic elements appeared in the process of expressing the original work into the image, especially the production for the colors and symbolism contained in them and the composition of screen. Thirdly, I analyze how effectively the atmosphere for the situations for the original work is expressed in animation with the aid of one of the image elements, mis-en-scene. It is expected that the analyzed findings will be effective as a way of overcoming the limitation of expressions that the original work in text and the study on these processes will become good examples to the relevant workers and will be the good references to the producers who are interested in the creation of animation in Korea.

The purpose of animation is to give interesting stories to an audience through motion. To achieve the purpose, over the past century since its inception, animation has adopted many kinds of technologies, and thus developed diverse narrative methods and visual expression techniques. In addition, with the advancement of expression techniques, all elements making up animation have gradually been systemized, and at the same time, have helped express the worlds beyond the reality. As a result, people have faced the era when an audience can watch everything imaginated by an animation director on a big screen. These days, more efforts have been made in order for the audience to feel much more than enjoy pictures moving in a frame. In other words, the purpose of the animation is changing from the passive viewing of animation to feeling and sensing stuffs through the animation. In the center of the changing process is 3D technology which gives new interesting to an audience. Sometime ago, a 3D animation movie was produced in Korea. But it did not bring out box-office profits, for it failed to give satisfaction to an audience who expected high perfection and beauty being able to be rivalled to those of international 3D animation movies. The failure is attributable to the fact that the domestic 3D animation production industry is merely in the early stage, and has not sufficient human resources, technology, and experiences in producing 3D animation films. Moreover, the problem is that most studies on 3D focus on the technologies related to reenactment, but that few studies on the images, which an audience directly faces, have been conducted. Under the domestic circumstance, the study on stereoscopic image screen of , a 3D stereoscopic animation film which was released in 2010 and has been seen as the best successful 3D stereoscopic animation, is worthwhile. Thus this thesis conducted theoretical consideration and case analysis focusing on the visual direction that creates the pictures to deliver abundant three dimensional effect so that it can be used as a basic data when producing high quality-domestic 3D animation and training professional labor forces. In the result, it was found that the 3D animation was not a new area, but the area which has been expanded and changed by applying the characteristics of 3D image based on the principles of the existing media aesthetics. This study might be helpful to establish the foundation of the theoretical studies necessary for producing 3D animation contents for realizing the sense of reality.

This study is to create and develop Korean cartoon & animation through the comparative study on those activities in Korea, America & Japan. Three countries advance highly in the art creation and industry development of their cartoon & animation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the following activities related to the education ${\cdot}$ art ${\cdot}$ culture ${\cdot}$ industry of their cartoon & animation; 1) The education of their cartoon & animation is deeply specified in the establishment of department, composition of curriculum, and research & development. 2) The art of their cartoon & animation is widely diversified in the art creation of cartoon & comics, vanguard experiment of animation, and awarding system. 3) The culture of their cartoon & animation is clearly distinguished in the setup of organizations, expansion of cultural facilities, and festival events. 4) The industry of their cartoon & animation makes ultramodern contents of cartoon & comics, film digitizing of animation, and brand merchandising of characters. Finally, we must research and develop the ${\ll}$digital cartoon, webtoon, and mobile animation${\gg}$ in Korea.

Works of director Robert Zemeckis have attracted much attention after the appearance of in which realistic digital characters appeared. Although he quitted animation production after , his 3D animation contributed to the 3D stereoscopic animation direction considerably. This study compared and analyzed representative 3D stereoscopic works of Robert Zemeckis with special reference to the theoretical background of 3D stereoscopic, cubic effect awareness factor using single eye sight and dual eye sight and matters of consideration in the direction of 3D stereoscopic image. This study also examined an expression method used in his works to improve cubic effects focusing on and .

As the first, about symbol and metaphor of visual culture animation, I research what is the de-centered reading focused on relationship between the semiotics text and the audience. Secondly, I will study about an animation text and their relationship within it's metaphor, animation work's analysis and art directed intension(and process) on aesthetic view as a visual representation.

An animation is synthesis art. It is very important to synchronize between background music and picture's image. In this animation, B.G.M. is not selected by picture's story to be an abstract images' animation produced with feelings of artist by B.G.M. It is necessary to study ＆ produce various experimental animation to educate in the original work & to develop the Korean animation industry at dept. of animation of University

애니메이션 영웅 캐릭터는 캐릭터의 한 카테고리로서 캐릭터 특유의 특징과 함께 전통적 이데올로기를 암묵적으로 전달하고 있다. 이들 애니메이션 영웅이 전달하는 전통적 메시지는 문화적 개성에 대한 심벌을 재해석하여 관객들에게 전통문화가 거부감없이 쉽게 받아들여지도록 하는 것이다. 애니메이션 <백사(White Snake, 2019)>는 중국에서 잘 알려진 백소정과 허선의 사랑이야기를 소재로 한것으로서 전통사상과 전통의상을 살리면서도 스토리텔링과 이미지 컨셉, 애니메이팅등의 시각적 요소들을 글로벌한 공감대를 얻을 수 있도록 노력한 흔적들을 보여주고 있다. 본문에서는 동양 애니메이션에서의 히어로 캐릭터와 디즈니 캐릭터 간의 차이점과 그 가치를 애니메이션<백사>를 통해 분석해보고 이를 통해 애니메이션 창작에 미치는 영향과 역할을 도출해보려 하였다.

In directing a film, aesthetics are use for visual manifestation of narratives to audiences. Especially, colors have important roles in that process to express emotions and to convey the story. For 3D animation, they may play even more important roles due to the nature of colors being generated by computers. This paper studies the relationship between narratives and colors by analyzing how colors change by the rise and fall of tensions in narratives, and by investigating how emotional expressions are affected due to color changes.

애니메이션에서 가장 중요하게 고려해야 할 문제는 프레임간 유사성을 어떻게 유지하느냐 이다. 각 프레임간 영상의 유사성이 없으면 프레임이 바뀔 때 좋지 못한 영상을 보여주기 때문이다. 또한 3차원 애니메이션을 위한 비사실적 렌더링에서는 프레임간 유사성뿐 아니라 렌더링을 수행하는 방법도 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 프레임간 유사성을 유지하기 위하여 파티클 시스템을 사용한다. 파티클을 물체의 실제 크기에 따라 분포시킴으로써 적절한 파티클의 수를 유지한다. 이때, 물체가 확대, 축소될 경우에는 화면상에서의 물체의 크기에 따라 동적으로 파티클의 수를 조정하게된다. 그리고 비사실적 렌더링을 위하여 붓의 터치를 표현할 스트로크를 사용하는데 스트로크의 방향, 색, 크기 등을 결정하기 위하여 참조 영상을 사용하는 렌더링 방법을 소개한다. 이렇게 결정된 스트로크들의 속성들은 붓 모양의 텍스쳐를 이용하여 렌더링 된다.

영상의 시작은 시나리오의 내용을 가장 밀도 있게 담아내기 위해 피사체를 카메라를 통해 특정 부분을 찾고 선택하는 일에서부터 이루어진다. 이러한 의미에서 영상의 최소단위인 프레임에 대한 이해와 연구는 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 작품연구에서는 사각의 틀에 고립된 피사체와 고립 전 피사체의 본래 의미를 살펴봄으로써 프레임 공간의 관계성을 이해하고 밀도 있는 애니메이션의 화면 구성을 연출하기 위한 단초를 마련해 보고자하였다. 이러한 맥락에서 스토리가 있는 입체방식의 클레이툰 형식으로 작품을 제작하여 의도적으로 선택된 틀 속의 인물과 틀 밖의 대상(인물과 자연)에 대한 가치이 동일성을 제시하고자 하였다. 또한 작가 자신의 다양한 역할에서 요구되어지는 이중적 사고의 명암을 상징적인 사각틀(삶의 공간)을 통해 내면적인 포용과 갈등의 관계로 표현하였다. 그러나 이때의 포용과 갈등은 삶의 전체공간에서 용해되어 새로운 가치를 이끌어 내는 원천이 되고 이는 곧 일상 속의 다양한 행태(틀)가 삶이라는 전체의 공간과 동등한 가치를 갖고 있음을 진지하게 생각하는 계기가 되었다.
