Despite the fact that culture and the industrial market is growing rapidly and becoming competitive, Disney animation studio has kept its reputation. They have their own know-how accumulated for a long time to stimulate the audience's sensibilities beyond time and space. This study is looking for the strategy of Disney animation using effects and forms of Hero's narrative. As a result, the original works have been adapted by 3 spaces of hero's narrative and songs was prepared according to the journey. Characters was constructed by combining original and it made an antithetical Antagonist and the triangle of helpmates. These strategies satisfy contemporary needs, as well as Disney's ideology using transformational resilience. Research will be needed to utilize the elements of culture through the analysis of the common strategy for success in spite of the time change.

In domestic game market, the video game market is getting smaller and also decreasing funds and high level developers. So we need the software that can help us to make more realistic and high quality contents by non-expert developer in poor environments. In this paper, we selected global studio's animations which were scored good evaluation by public and critics as a well-made emotional expression that can convey the emotion properly. We selected movements that express emotions from the animation scripts by using Ekman's 6 basic emotions and Greimas' dynamic predicate, and then we had analyzed and categorized with the data. We also analyzed the movements for which data we needed to create specific movements to express emotions by using 'Animation Layer' that used in Unity's blending process. And suggest concept of the program that to create the emotional expression movements by using those analyzed data.

This research attempts to provide greater understandings about 'Transbranding' theory by an analysis of , a 3D animation produced by Disney Studio released in 2013 partly in comparison with . Furthermore, this research shows the branding strategy of "Disney", reputed for its well-devised marketing strategy, in the era of Transmedia. This research analyzes the animation with four components of 「Transmedia Mix strategy」 and the 「2F(Flexible Fit) strategy」. In the 「2F(Flexible Fit) strategy」 analysis, is compared with another Disney-made animation . not just maintains the core values of Disney animations but also implements diverse strategies for developing the evolving interactions, the collaborative creation, and the multi-experience. has achieved successful branding identity/image by securing the strategic flexibility by differentiating itself from the existing Disney animations. Disney also establishes itself as a new and modern brand through 2F strategies.

So far, the Studio Ghibli's major masterpieces, and have been studied extensively from mythical and psychological perspectives due to the films' intrinsic symbolism within their characters and events. However, there have been insufficient in-depth research on the types of love the two works have. Therefore, this study will focus on how the types of love in the two animations mirror the concept of love in Plato's theory of Eros through the analysis of two films' characters. The desire for memory and recovery can be seen in , and glimpses of each phase of aim towards changes in physical appearance can be shown in . These describe the function and the purpose of Eros that Plato states in Socrates' terms in Phaedrus and Symposium. Plato ultimately defined Eros as a spirit that leads to the world of Ideas and suggested the five stages of love that are divided in accordance with the ultimate purpose and attitude of mankind towards Eros. The cognition area, changes in appearance of the characters and spatial ranks in and critically reveal such core concepts of the theory of Eros. It is noteworthy that the two works show the origin of the most universal ideology of the West. These two animation films are particularly significant in terms of that they reflect the western epistemology while covering exclusive and covert ethnic emotions.

Motion synthesis using physics-based controllers can generate a character animation that interacts naturally with the given environment and other characters. Recently, various methods using deep neural networks have improved the quality of motions generated by physics-based controllers. In this paper, we present a control policy learned by deep reinforcement learning (DRL) that enables Luxo, the mascot character of Pixar animation studio, to run towards a random goal location while imitating a reference motion and maintaining its balance. Instead of directly training our DRL network to make Luxo reach a goal location, we use a reference motion that is generated to keep Luxo animation's jumping style. The reference motion is generated by linearly interpolating predetermined poses, which are defined with Luxo character's each joint angle. By applying our method, we could confirm a better Luxo policy compared to the one without any reference motions.

As the LED or LCD technology has been developed, if we use LED or LCD pannel, more wide color range coluld be obtained as CRT monitor. Specially, full color LED display is developed by high brightness blue LED. It can be applicable to display pannel with a long-life, wide visible angle and high brightness. A display pannel shows the images of CRT monitor performed by the main computer. Graphic application in the main computer is therefore more important in the market. Conventional 3D STUDIO, one of graphic softwares, has difficulties in manipulating and understanding the specific terminology so that one may need more time to learn it. We, therefore, developed graphic application which can recycle the conventional 3D images by creating or editing the image easily.

Today, 3D softwares have become an essential tool in all areas of Video, including Movies, Animations, CFs, Motion Graphics and Games. One of the most commonly used fields is the 3D character video part. However, these 3D character animations and motion graphics softwares are difficult to learn and too much to learn, making it difficult to learn them all in a university education with a limited time of four years. In this paper, many Inverse kinematics tools, which are essential in the 3D character animations and motion graphics field, compare and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each tool, focusing on Bone, Character Studio, and Character Animation Toolkit, which are most commonly used in work fields. And use Delphi techniques for 3D experts to secure objectivity. Therefore, for universities that require large amounts of teaching in a limited time, I propose an analysis of which of the above three Inverse Kinetics tools is advantageous for students to select and focus on for efficient education.

A 3D virtual character playing a role in a digital story-telling has a unique style in its appearance and motion. Because the style reflects the unique personality of the character, it is very important to preserve the style and keep its consistency. However, when the character's motion is directly controlled by a user's motion who is wearing motion sensors, the unique style can be discarded. We present a novel character motion control method that uses only a small amount of animation data created only for the character to preserve the style of the character motion. Instead of machine learning approaches requiring a large amount of training data, we suggest a search-based method, which directly searches the most similar character pose from the animation data to the current user's pose. To show the usability of our method, we conducted our experiments with a character model and its animation data created by an expert designer for a virtual reality game. To prove that our method preserves well the original motion style of the character, we compared our result with the result obtained by using general human motion capture data. In addition, to show the scalability of our method, we presented experimental results with different numbers of motion sensors.
