When making a comic film, the comic presentation that uses stress and exaggeration is the important subject among other things. In this study we tried to investigate the comic effect using the movement of three-dimensional shot. To conduct this study, we extracted the shot manufactured through the Flow Motion of a 3D Production Program Virtual Camera and a High Speed Motion Picture Camera. The shot manufactured applying this manufacturing skill and using three-dimensional production method for the video contents efficiently made was classified into several scenes. The focus of this study is to search for the factor that makes the atmosphere of a story comic through three-dimensional production shot. According to the shot analysis, three-dimensional production method plays a role in developing more stories on space and time by visualizing stories in three dimensions, which makes the most use of the movement of camera, lens and the utilization of focus. In addition, in the presentation where many comic and exaggerated factors are provided, we used the technology that stresses a scene using the size of a shot and the lasting time and presented the method that exaggerates space using a 3D Production Program Virtual Camera and a High Speed Motion Picture Camera.

Black/white comic rendering is one of the researches in the field of non-photorealistic rendering(NPR). Black/white comics have been produced manually as yet. But these previous systems require lots of time and manual work. So we propose the COmics Rendering system on VIdeo Stream (CORVIS) which transforms video streams into black/white comic cuts. Stylized font, one of comic representations, can be used to express onomatopoeic words and mimetic dialogue exaggeratively. But current comic generation systems do not provide enough effects of stylized font. This paper proposes a model for stylized fonts to express various effects. Effects of stylized fonts we proposed include geometric deformations. Thus we could represent stylized fonts on the still cut of movies and the background texture on a cuts of plain black/white comics. The final quality of our system produced is good enough to compare with manual black/white comics.

Comic book has a different story structure from western movies, i.e. New Character->reaction->food->master mediation->effect of food->disappearance ->conclusion. Comic book is full of media traits. The master is like a shaman, who console people with food of memory. Food also is a media, which carries message of memory instead of savor itself. Restaurant is a media, in which many events occur and rhetoric of rumor pervade. Foods of memory massage our feeling sense, like a media. In conclusion, comic book has a analogous role to that of Marshal Mcluhan's Media theory.
