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.

흔히 애니메이션은 캐릭터의 표정이 얼굴에만 나타난다고 생각한다. 하지만 캐릭터의 몸도 얼굴만큼이나 풍부하게 감정을 표현할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문에는 캐릭터 움직임에 따른 동작이 어떻게 변화되고, 생동감 있게 움직일 것인가에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 애니메이션의 기본 동작원리에는 스쿼시, 스트레치, 동작의 속도와 타이밍, 관성, 선행동작, 포물선 따라 움직이기, 인비트위닝 등 많은 것이 있다. 이들 기본동작들은 모두 애니메이션 성공에 크게 영향을 끼친다. 애니메이션에서 캐릭터의 연기는 보는 사람들로 하여금 필요한 동작을 통하여 어떤 표현을 전달할 수 있도록 올바른 타이밍을 가져야한다. 본 논문은 애니메이션 동작을 표현하기 위해 각각의 이미지들의 표현방법에서 감성위주의 느낌들을 어떻게 보여줘야 할 것인가에 대해 다양한 표현들로 나타내었다.

2D애니메이션은 애니메이션의 표현에서 모든 장르에 기초적 이론적 배경에 바탕이 되어 현재에 이르렀다. 현재에는 컴퓨터공학의 발달에 애니메이션의 표현은 무궁무진하게 급속도록 발전되어 왔으며 이러한 특징적 요소에는 서로 공유되는 내러티브의 요소가 있기 때문이다. 하지만 현장에서는 공방스타일의 표현이 우선되어 애니메이터의 표현능력을 답습하는 경우가 일반적이다. 이에 인물표정에 대한 감성과 오성의 기초이론을 바탕으로 도출되어지는 감정표현에 대한 이미지를 정리하고자한다.

Without the involvement of time in animation, it cannot be possible to create movement. Therefore, tine is the important element to create animation. In animation, the expression of the emotion of character is more complicate than the appearance. Time is one of element to use for express of the emotion. It can be divided two types of time as the real time and the animation time broadly. The real time has linear, irreversible and analogue form which is in our daily life. And the animation time has multi-direction, reversible, and digital form which can be detected in the movie. For the animation time, there are many types of time that are the running time, the production time, the subjective time, the objective time, the ambiguous time and the universal time etc. This study is to extend and enrich the express as film language through various types of times in animation. Time is one of important element that can be useful method for expressing many unique scenes in film art as film language.

This study shows that there is an essential difference between colors of animation and live action film through the expressive colors of 2D animation as distinct from three dimension space. While live action film has an obvious object of representation, the image of 2D animation is a creature made by human without the process of mechanical representation. And this is revealed sharply in the expressive colors of 2D animation. Therefore the expressive colors of 2D animation are the important points in which the autonomous meaning of animation image is revealed.

최근 컴퓨터 그래픽스에서 비사실적인 표현에 관한 연구가 되고 있다. 그 중 애니메이션 분야는 기존의 2D 애니메이션 기법을 적용하여 비사실적인 애니메이션(Non Photorealistic Animation) 을 표현할 수 있다. 여러 기법 중 기대(Anticipation) 효과를 얼굴 표정 애니메이션(Facial Animation)에 적용한다면 조금 더 역동적인 표정을 표현할 수 있게 된다. 얼굴 표정 애니메이션(Facial Animation)을 제작하기 위해서는 실제 사람의 얼굴 표정을 캡쳐하거나 애니메이터가 많은 노력과 시간을 투자하여 작업을 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이런 방법으로 생성된 얼굴 표정 애니메이션에 사용자가 원하는 표정에 기대 효과를 자동으로 추가하여 더 좋은 표정을 생성하는 방법을 소개한다.

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.

Recently 3D animation can produce animation dose to real picture owing to rapid technical development of hardware and software and is used as entertainment factors for movie, ads, game and digital pictures. The process of making 3D animation needs the various making techniques and expression factors unlike traditional animation. Production technique and expression factors in making 3D animation are not acted as individual factor, but they can achieve an animation with high perfection when they should be combined. Therefore this study analyzes the technical expression methods based on hardware and software for operation by computer process and the artistic expression factors based on aesthetic, figurative, design and pictorial factors and then seeks a method of making animation with technical perfection.

This article focused on contemporary American animation since the 1990s and later detailed clues to the theory that contemporary pop art style influenced contemporary American animation art creation expression and contemporary American animation. Knowing why American animation swept the world summarizes the art creation characteristics of modern American animation. After a combination of theoretical and actual animation works, the main manifestations of the postmodern pop art style in contemporary American animation: exaggerated and superficial shapes highlight character characteristics; rebellious colors reconstruct emotional perception; creation impacts the mass media-dependence; bizarre collage and repetition, embodying the postmodern pop spirit of jokes and spoofs, Etc. Through this, it is expected that the current analysis of American animation will provide new innovative ideas for domestic animation design and increase the competitiveness of domestic animation in international video animation.

본 논문에서는 모션 그래픽을 이용한 컴퓨터애니메이션으로 실감 있는 영상 콘텐츠를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 합성기법을 적용하여 원본 소스 영상과 목표 영상을 합성하여 새로운 영상을 생성하는 합성 기법을 적용하고 합성한 영상을 애니메이션 기법을 적용하여 동영상으로 콘텐츠를 제작한다. 이렇게 합성 기법과 애니메이션 기법을 적용한 영상을 고전적 표현 기법을 적용하여 마치 고대 유물이나 조각상이나 동상 같은 무형의 조형물에 생명력을 적용해 마치 벽화 속에 있던 사물이 살아서 움직이는 신기한 광경을 연출한다. 이러한 연출은 다양한 효과를 적용하여 연출한다. 또한 현재의 사물에도 같은 방법으로 합성 기법과 애니메이션 기법, 그리고 다양한 효과를 적용하여 현대적인 표현으로 다양한 상황에서 다양한 효과를 적용하여 현대적인 사물 표현이 가능하다. 따라서 이러한 합성기법과 애니메이션 기법과 효과들로 시대를 초월하는 시공간 연출이 가능하여 다양한 광고, 홍보 등에서 효과적이다.
