The steadicam effects is widely used in production of the 3D animation for natural camera movement. Conventional method for steadicam effects is using keyframe animation technique, which is annoying and time consuming process. Furthermore it is difficult and unnatural to simulate camera movement in real world. In this paper we propose a novel method for representing steadicam effects on virtual camera of 3D animation. We modeled a camera of real world into Maya production tools, considering gravity, mass and elasticity. The model is implemented with Python language, which is directly applied to Maya platform as a filter module. The proposed method reduces production time and improves production environment. It also makes more natural and realistic footage to maximize visual effects.

Recently, Cook and Weisberg(l989) presented dynamic graphics for regression diagnostics. They suggested animating graphics which could aid to understanding the effects of adding a variable to a model. In this paper, using the Cook and Weisberg's idea of animation, we propose a dynamic graphical method for residuals to display the effects of removing an observation from a model. Based on the information obtained from these animating graphics, it is possible to see the influence of outliers on influencial observations for regression diagnostics.

Even if shots in frames may be variable in both movies and animations, close-up reveals the significance of the subject in the focus. Because directors and animators take the place the actor as character in animation while performance of actor plays an important role in the close-up in the movies, it is significant to understand the close-up in the animation. In the present study we investigate the dramatic effect of close-up in the animation narrative in animations for theaters. Among the various dramatic effects of the close-up, the natural flow of the narrative and the induction of immersing in emotion are focused. Descriptive close-up is analyzed as a dramatic effect of inducing the natural flow of the narrative. Psychological close-up is analyzed as the induction of immersing emotion by effective delivery of internal mental state of a character. By analyzing symbolic close-up as the induction of immersing in the play by producing a dramatic effect, we expect that the close-up contribute to the advance of animation narrative structure.

This study is to identify the elements, the types and the degrees of intimacy for animation character by the intimacy process through viewer. Firstly it is identified the element of intimacy by 1)Viewing, 2)Purchasing, and 3)Visiting. And secondly utilizing the psychological theory that is the Sternberg's triangular theory of love and then classifying the types and the degrees with the love to animation character in order to establishing the intimacy process. Finally it is considered mainly the type and the degree of intimacy by concept of completion and existence, the elements of intimacy are applied to 8 types of Sternberg's triangular theory of love. Those 8 types were compounded by those three elements of love. The results of study said that type 1.2.3 are uncompleted and low of the intimacy level, and type 4.5.6 are also uncompleted and average of the intimacy level, type 7 is completed and high of the intimacy level, and finally type 8 is nothing and no level. And the degree of intimacy is to be revealed by the relative comparison. It was concluded that the three elements have to be equally effects to animation character for establishing the high level of intimacy.

In contemporary performance arts, we can see diverse types of performances that use advanced technology and visual media. It is notable that animation based on narratives and images, is grafted on to performance arts. Cases emerge that introduce animation in opera performances as part of a new stagecraft. Regietheater that turns on directors' interpretation, has been expanded in full scale through major music festivals and theaters through many different attempts to embody. In this state, recently visual media have been actively employed in opera performances. It has led to expansion of time and space along with more attempts. Not least of all, introduction of animation has been conducive to reinforcing functionality of opera performances in many aspects. This study suggests requirements for ideal Regietheater production in opera performances. For this end, the functions of animation strategically used are evaluated through analyzing $Zauberfl{\ddot{o}}te$)> production of Komische Oper Berlin. Through this research, this study is to look deeply into effects created from new and different attempts by grafting animation on to opera performances.

The Avengers film produced by Marvel Comics shows visual effects that were impossible to produce in the past. Companies that produce film special effects were initially equipped with large personnel and equipment, but technology is gradually evolving to be feasible for smaller companies that do not have high-priced equipment and a large workforce. The development of hardware and software is becoming increasingly available to the general public as well as to experts. Equipment and software which were difficult for individuals to purchase before quickly popularized high-performance computers as the game industry developed. The development of the cloud has been the driving force behind software costs. As augmented reality (AR) performance of mobile devices improves, advanced technologies such as motion tracking and face recognition technology are no longer implemented by expensive equipment. Under these circumstances, after implementing mobile-based facial capture technology in animation projects, we have identified the pros and the cons and suggest better solutions to improve the problem.

The 21st century is the age when a sensational image has more explanatory power and can deliver a more powerful message than a message consisting of logical thinking. Powerful visual images create a big impact on many people throughout the world, overcoming linguistic barriers and even replacing language as a means of communication. In the fashion field, the concept and power of visual images within the new multimedia of the 21st century are becoming increasingly important. In recent years, other than the above methods, videos, movies and animation features have been produced directly to enhance visual effects and attempts are increasing to use these new tools as communication methods. This study focuses on animation contents that have been used in the fashion industry to overcome prejudice of luxury international brands that feature images that emphasize value, quality and heritage. The purpose of this study is to focus on the specific character of fashion animation in order to overview the concept of 21st video fashion communication and to show how the collection concept that includes color and detail places an emphasis on visual images. Analysis of previous research, theoretical research through literature and case study on Prada fashion animation led to the following conclusion. The common features of two different Prada fashion animation show that both animation have the following features in common : realism, dramatic impact and convergence for expression methods, and creativeness, hybrid and a happy ending for contents. Beginning with this study, I believe that various angles of interest and concern about communication in the fashion world, which is a social and cultural phenomenon that changes rapidly, can be will be looked at and learned from.

Animation creates meaning and affection by combinig image and sound like film. directed by Yuri Norstein is a good text for analyzing animation sound in that it combines image and various music and sound effects well. This study focuses on analyzing the way that sound function to make meaning in this text. Generally sound is categorized into dialogue, music, and sound effect. And animation has its own characteristic in each category. The voice for dialogue is created corresponding to the image of the character and the rhythm is very important in Animation. Plus Sound effect in animation can be said to mimic not just sound but also movement. This study analyzes sound based on three sound factors and the concepts of the point of listening, subjective sound, and sound bridge. Subjective sound using the point of listening of the wolf and the baby bestows a special position on the main characters in the text. It is the overall characteristic of the sound use of this text that the repetitive combination of sound and image, the linguistic and annotative function of sound effect, and comparatively conventional use of music and sound effect enhance the affection and readability.

With all the recent progresses in computer hardware and software technology, the animation of fluids in real-time is still among the most challenging issues of computer graphics. The fluid animation is carried out in two steps - the physical simulation of fluids immediately followed by the visual rendering. The physical simulation is usually accomplished by numerical methods utilizing the particle dynamics equations as well as the fluid mechanics based on the Navier-Stokes equations. Particle dynamics method is usually fast in calculation, but the resulting fluid motion is conditionally unrealistic. The methods using Navier-Stokes equation, on the contrary, yield lifelike fluid motion when properly conditioned, yet the complexity of calculation restrains this method from being used in real-time applications. This article presents a rapid fluid animation method by using the continuum-based fluid mechanics and the enhanced particle dynamics equations. For real-time rendering, pre-integrated volume rendering technique was employed. The proposed method can create realistic fluid effects that can interact with the viewer in action, to be used in computer games, performances, installation arts, virtual reality and many similar multimedia applications.

The 2D animation screen is a screen work that is produced on the plane. So, it is superficial in terms of space. Therefore, we expressed via picture technique that uses the movement of camera and back-ground in order to recreate the image of realistic feeling that has multiple effect. Though all multiple-effects were expressed realistically in the early Disney animation of the United States, Japan used the expression of Follow Pan profoundly to provide the animation with economic expression of picture and the depthof screen in order to realize a new technical expression of limited animation while it was producing TV series works in 1960s. Now it is positively expressed even in the United States, too. This study tries to analyze the example that applied the long piece works of Japan which was expressed via the Follow Pan, that is, the movement of camera, to the real approach.
