애니메이션 캐릭터는 아이디어 지향의 고 부가가치 산업으로 다양한 시너지 효과를 창출하기 때문에 경제적인 측면만으로도 그 가치가 높다. 무엇보다도 애니메이션 캐릭터의 가치는 대중문화 커뮤니케이터로서의 역할에 있다. 애니메이션 캐릭터의 범람속에서 생활하는 대중들은 캐릭터에 의해 표현되는 다양한 성격과 행동에 영향받고 있다. 그러나 범람이라고 할만큼 대중의 생활을 둘러싸고 있는 애니메이션 캐릭터들의 성격과 행동들은 주로 극단적인 성향을 나타내고 있어, 대중사회의 유지와 존속에 필요한 역할모델의 제시에 부정적인 기능을 하고 있다.

본 논문에서는 캐릭터 애니메이션의 효율적인 동작 제어를 위하여 익스프레션을 이용한 애니메이션을 제작하였다. 익스프레션을 이용한 애니메이션은 움직임의 표현에 있어서, 자연스러운 애니메이션을 좀더 쉽고 유용하게 표현하기 위한 방법으로 캐릭터의 동작 제어점들을 분석하여 익스프레션에서 애니메이션을 제어할 수 있는 요소를 찾아 그 식에 사용하였으며, 이것을 토대로 캐릭터의 동작을 자동적으로 제어하는 애니메이션을 구현하였다. 익스프레션에 의한 애니메이션은 간편한 조작으로 자연스럽고 현실적인 움직임을 생성할 수 있다는 익스프레션의 효율성이 장점으로 나타났지만, 애니메이터에 의한 키 프레임 방식에 의한 애니메이션보다는 어색함을 보였다.

Due to increased interest in character costumes, the field of animation character costume design is gradually developing into a specialized domain. The costume-making process for animation characters presents many differences from the costume-making process for regular apparel. However, there remains insufficient research on the actual process of making the character costumes used in stop motion videos both in Korea and abroad. The purpose of this study is to establish a costume design process for animation characters. Furthermore, this study presents a case study on the costume planning and making process for 3D stop motion animation characters. The character costume-making process was segmentalized into the following stages: character analysis stage, character modeling stage, and character costume making stage. In the character analysis stage, the investigator analyzed the character's movements, designed the character images, and analyzed the movements and motions of the animation characters. After completing character modeling, this study proposed a method for making the character costume. The style of the character costume was designed, and the structural design reflected the position and size of joints as well as the angle of movements. The patterns of the character costume were produced through dimensional tailoring after measuring the body size of the character. Afterward, the costume was completed after passing through the fitting and revision stages. The clothing material was selected to fit the colors and feelings shown in the illustration. To complete the costume after comparing it with the initial illustration, it was revised based on the assessment of its volume and overall atmosphere.

This study focuses on the behavioural lexical classification for extracting animation character actions and the analysis of the character's upper and lower body movements. The behaviour and state of characters in the animation industry are crucial, and digital technology is enhancing the industry's value. However, research on animation motion application technology and behavioural lexical classification is still lacking. Therefore, this study aims to classify the predicates enabling animation motion, differentiate the upper and lower body movements of characters, and apply the behavioural lexicon's motion data. The necessity of this research lies in the potential contributions of advanced character motion technology to various industrial fields, and the use of the behavioural lexicon to elucidate and repurpose character motion. The research method applies a grammatical, behavioural, and semantic predicate classification and behavioural motion analysis based on the character's upper and lower body movements.

Animation character market in Korea has been dominated by licensed characters (e.g., Walt Disney′s) of which market share is 80%. While market share for Korean characters such as "Mashimaro" and "Little Dinosaur Dooly" is increasing, the application of such characters to fashion products is still limited. For the development of the Korean character market, application of original animation characters should be applied to various fashion products. The main purpose of this study was to design toddler apparel line using "Little Dinosaur Dooly," one of the most popular domestic animation characters. The design focus is the green color of Dooly because the color is the distinctive concept of the brand. Results of the study indicated that developing toddler apparel line with a Korean animation character was a meaningful attempt, as imported licensed characters were dominant in domestic fashion market. The key differentiating factor was the use of green color. In addition, use of various supporting characters, namely Dooly′s friends, demonstrated potential line extension forming animation character groups similar to Warner Brothers′"Looney Tunes."

영상은 어린이들의 호기심을 불러일으키고 많은 것을 접하게 하여 자연스러운 학습을 유도한다. 특히 애니메이션은 어린이들을 사회화시킴은 물론, 자아 정체성을 형성하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서 애니메이션 캐릭터의 젠더 정체성 재현은 중요하다. 애니메이션 캐릭터의 젠더 정체성의 재현 방식은 시각정보를 통한 재현방식과 내러티브를 통한 재현방식으로 나누어 볼 수 있으며, 내러티브를 통한 재현방식이 시각정보의 재현방식을 더욱 확고히 해줌을 알 수 있다. 또한 애니메이션 캐릭터의 젠더 정체성의 양상을 살펴보면, 보수적이고 상업적인 이데올로기를 투영하는 젠더 고정관념과 일치하는 캐릭터와 젠더 고정관념에서 탈피하고자하는 캐릭터로 구분되어 진다. 그러나 젠더 고정관념을 탈피하고자하는 캐릭터의 재현 역시 젠더 역할의 과장이나 희화를 통한 비판에 그치고 있다. 따라서 애니메이션 캐릭터들은, 여성이나 남성으로 구분되는 스테레오타입으로 재현되는 것이 아닌, 하나의 인간으로서의 가치를 주체적으로 형성해 가는, 미래지향적인 젠더 정체성을 가진 캐릭터들로 재현되어야 한다. 미래지향적인 젠더 정체성을 재현하는 애니메이션은 어린이들에게 올바른 자아 개념과 젠더 역할을 심어주며, 이미 획득된 전통적인 젠더 정체성을 완화시키는 역할을 수행한다.
