Domestic kids TV animation industry is settled well in domestic animation industry by adding both entertainment value and educational value. Specially, the character that represents various rolls in the kids TV animation is the core visual element. This study is the analysis for character's subject matter of expression. For this, I established the tool which could classify character's subject matter of expression, and apply the tool to the character which were selected in broadcasting kids TV animations on EBS. Through this procedure, I analyzed character's subject matter of expression with the distribution chart as the final step. In addition, I hope the result of this study could intend to provide the index of the character creation in the kids TV animation and also informed the current situation about the character's subject matter of expression in the kids TV animation.

Specially, the character in the kids animation is the fundamental visual element, and also has the high value which is to connect to various related businesses. The main purpose of this study is the analysis for character's appearance by the basic plane figure, and it has studied on the authority of recognition capability which is to catch the simple shape rapidly and clearly rather than complex shape. For this study, I established the standard of analysis and then applied that to the characters which were selected in broadcasting domestic kids animation on EBS. Through this procedure, I analyzed character's appearance with the distribution chart. As the result, the circular and oval shapes are the most frequently used shapes for character's appearance. Finally, I expect the result of this study could be one of the design index for the character creation in practical environment.

The potential competency from the animation industry, as known as a foundation which spawned a variety contents from the piece of work, has a high importance in the content development field. The pivotal role of the domestic animation industry has produced the term of convergence content which composed by both educational elements and entertainment features especially from the domestic kids TV animation industry. This study analysis the ideal indicator of the preferred characteristic design being broadcasted on EBS, not only presenting the status of the character proportion rates but also proposing the creative aesthetic indication where the substantial leverage would be available as the purpose of this research.

최근 개봉하는 영화들을 살펴보면 2D Animation이었던 작품들이 3D Animation으로 제작되고 있다. 먼저 1981년 미국 NBC에서 방영된 후 2011년과 2013년에 실사합성 Animation으로 개봉된 'The Smurf'가 있고, 1999년 'Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards'에서 처음 방영되어 2015년 2월에 실사합성 Animation으로 극장에 개봉한 'The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water'이 있다. 과거 만화책과 TV에서 방영되어 아주 큰 호응을 받은 작품들을 기억하는 관객들에게는 3D Animation에서 만들어지는 3D의 공간감과 입체감이 보는 관객들로 하여금 이질감을 느낄 수 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 이질감을 프로이트의 논문 '두려운 낯설음'에서 이야기한 Uncanny현상에 대입한다. 2D Animation이 원작인 작품을 3D Animation으로 만드는 데는 적지 않은 어려움이 있고 각 작품들만의 특징이 있기 때문에, 본 연구를 통해서 2D Animation을 원작으로 하는 3D Animation작품에서 감상하는 관객들로 하여금 이질감을 느끼는 Uncanny현상이 작품에 미치는 영향 대한 연구 결과를 도출하고자 한다.

Stop-motion animation is highly valued for realistic imagery and its ability to captivate the five senses of the audience. Despite this, practical research in this area is limited to date. The long hours required to produce stop-motion animation and turn these into profits can be attributed for the lack of knowledge in this area. In production research, the matter is made worse as it is difficult to protect the intellectual property made through the collaborated efforts of students and teaching staff through each laborious stage of planning, broadcasting and making 2D models. Meanwhile as the animation industry finds the investigation of new production processes taxing, it has maintained its focus on pre-existing processes such as the use of pipeline. This paper aims to shed light on new production methods that can be used to improve the effectiveness of existing stop-motion production. In addition, by working with Taktoon Enterprises on its T.V series Galaxy Kids the paper will revise real world production methods including the traditional use of hand made models. Thus by investigating the use of graphic technology such as 3D printing the paper will be able to extend current business models. Research conducted in this paper is a necessary part of overcoming various contents production obstacles. Furthermore, it may help publicize issues faced in production leading to the discussion and sharing of new innovations.
