In this study, the method to generate facial animation of SVG format based online character AUtomatically was proposed. The re-targeted character can reproduce the modeling facial movements itself without losing the unique formative properties by modeling abundant facial movements of the character in the existing animation for movie theater through the mathematical calculation and 'retargeting' this to other character of SVG format. The method of retargeting facial movements like this can be applied to the various characters by only one facial data so although non-specialists, even not an animator can create facial animation of character easily and rapidly. The suggested facial movement in this study is nonlinear and an exaggerated motion so it is friendly to the viewers and it is lively. Besides, it is based on the SVG format, so the smooth facial movements can be implemented by less capacity than existing GIF animation.

Based on this study, it was derived the visual representation of the skeleton character featuring in and analyzed the role and function in the animation. As a result, the expressions by the skeleton's eyes, eyebrows, mouth, lips, and jaw played the most important role for the emotional expression and lines in , and the major characteristic for human facial expression was reflected in the design of the skeleton character. In addition, the various props were used to provide the detailed informations of the skeleton's character, and it was expressed the movement emphasizing its essential attribute.

With a successful fondation in animation toy industry, its market is expanding to film industry, at the same time, brings positive effect for benefit of domestic animation. Therefore, this study researched viewing rate of children's TV animation and analyzed character storytelling to help foster and grow the direction of future animation characters. For the analysis, I selected 20 animations with high viewing rate and analyzed the storytelling of 95 characters based on their roles. The results of this study are as follows: in children's animation appeared various types of characters helping each other to make the viewer learn socializing. In addition, character's external setting varied depending on its role.

The study looks a shape of hybrid character in animation and suggests extended discussion to develop the Korean creative characters and to repeat traditional culture that can reproduce in mass media. First, this study considers Jangseung and Dokkaebi that appear frequently in the Korean traditional culture, and prepares a way to try to develop the Korean hybrid characters. To do this, I analyze examples of hybrid characters direction in as-found animation characters, and grasp the meaning of it. Hybrid character is classified as a character produced by mix and combination of shape and a character produced by shape exaggeration. And I shed new light on characters and meanings of Jangseung and Dokkaebi remaining as cultural assets. Through this, the study wants to help handling measure about a problem of character that the Korean animation has. Therefore, this study looks characters of description about imaginary creatures expressed in existing animations, and wants to shed new light on the Korean Jangseung and Dokkaebi regarded as from an object of folk religion and custom, to an object that is possible to use in the Korean traditional character development.

The biggest purpose of sound is communication with spectator in animation. Animation sound delivers background to spectator more naturally through music age enemy, space enemy of fantastic, realistic work and use rhythm and rhythm according to smoke action of character and character delineation and specific character of character, atmosphere as is intimate to spectator. This research achieved research of connection literature data to grasp the importance of role and function that sound reaches in animation reflex. Because is companionate with reflex at animation sound manufacture process with this, in work whole atmosphere in Naereotibeu's structure progress of the event smoothly connect and focused to if make video and interaction of sound smoothly and deliver to spectator.

Usually, character fashion would give imagnation of products and companies themselves for aesthetic sense and can show possessive feeling and personality. And that mean fashion used by character like pictures and signals(that include words figures and special signals) and these fashion using by animation character was come out in 1929. In spite of third producer, Korea, back from USA and Japan about character fashion, we faced many problems. In order to solve these problems, we must make our own pure character that do not need to pay royalty and must spread marketing strategy with character fashion of more various designs.

In computer graphics, most animations of characters have been created using the traditional and often highly labor intensive key-framing technique. Recently, character animation is demanded increasingly automated techniques for animation according to interaction with the user or environment of the user. In this paper, we will propose a new method which can animate characters automatical/y with user interactions. The character's behavior is determined as a result of understanding the emotional condition of the user. Psychology and cognitive AI provide some ideas about how to approach this problem. Our study is based mostly on the theories of Ortony, Clore and Collins, which were designed to be implemented computationally. In our system, we can make 22 emotion types and some more behavior features and we apply to some characters.
