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.

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."

In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, not only artificial intelligence, big data, robots, and biotechnology, but also cultural industries that require human creativity will lead. Among the cultural industries, the animation industry has high industrial utilization value due to its high connection with other industries. Among them, animation characters play the most important role as the subject leading the story of animation. In particular, the villain character not only serves as a medium for the main character to lead the story, but also captivates the audience with a different presence from the main character, adding to the fun and completeness of the animation. These characters consist of visual elements such as form and color, of which color is a tool that effectively conveys the character's personality and role to the audience, and is the first visual element to be considered in delicately describing the character's emotions and the relationship between characters. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze the color of the villain character. To this end, we will select eight Disney animations to derive the characteristics of the villain character's color by analyzing the color, value, chroma, and color association of the colors used in the Disney villain character. As a result of the analysis, the colors mainly used by Disney to convey the villain's image were red (R) and Orange (YR), and there was no difference depending on the times or animation production methods. Second, the brightness of Disney villain characters appeared to be the same medium/famous regardless of the times and production methods, and the frequency of use of high brightness was very low. In terms of saturation, the frequency of use of high and low saturation was high. Third, blackish (Bk), Strong (S), dull (Dl), and deep (Dp) tones were mainly used for tones. In particular, in recent 3D animations than previously produced 2D animations, the use of low chroma and the high black mixing rate increased. Fourth, it can be seen that Disney uses color as a visual method to more clearly express the psychology of the villain character using color association. In conclusion, the color selection of animation characters should be carefully considered as a tool to convey the character's personality, role, and emotion beyond simply using color, and the color selection of characters using color associations and symbols strengthens the narrative structure. It is hoped that this study will help analyze and select the character color of animation.

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.

애니메이션이 고부가가치를 창출하는 콘텐츠산업으로 인식되면서, 애니메이션의 성공여부를 결정짓는 것이 스토리만이 아니라 캐릭터의 중요성이란 것에 대한 연구가 점차 확장되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 전 세계적으로 오랫동안 꾸준한 인기를 얻고 있는 <심슨가족>의 애니메이션 캐릭터를 관객성 이론을 토대로 충성도 높고 상호작용하는 관객 형성 요건을 살펴본 후 향후, 제작될 국내 TV 시리즈 애니메이션의 개선방향을 제시하는데 있다. 이에 구체적으로 애니메이션 캐릭터의 개념, 이데올로기와 애니메이션 캐릭터와의 관계, 사회현상과 조형성의 상호작용한 변화에 대해 알아보고, 관객성 이론을 토대로 <심슨가족>캐릭터가 어떻게 관객형성 요건을 지니고 있는지 분석하여 정리한다. 또한 국내에도 애니메이션 캐릭터를 상품으로 활용한 사례가 있으나 좀 더 다양한 범위로의 캐릭터 생명력을 확보하고 있는지 알아보기 위해 <심슨가족> 캐릭터의 활용범위를 조사한다. 결론으로, TV 시리즈 애니메이션은 극장용 애니메이션과 달리 쉽게 관객에게 오랫동안 반복적으로 메시지를 전달할 수 있는 특성이 있는데, 국내 TV 시리즈 애니메이션은 캐릭터 그 자체로써는 개성이 뚜렷하나, 그 캐릭터를 뒷받침해주는 매번 새롭고, 창의적이고 탄탄한 구성을 가진 스토리 부재와 <심슨가족> 캐릭터처럼 관객에게 동질감을 느끼게 하는 캐릭터성이 부족하다는 문제점을 인식하였다. 애니메이션은 시청자 즉, 관객의 공감대를 이끌어내는 것이 중요하므로, 이를 위해서는 사회적 담론 내용이 잘 융합된 캐릭터가 매우 중요한 요소로서 커다란 영향을 준다. 그러므로 국내의 애니메이션이 단명이 아닌 장수를 하기 위해서는 애니메이션의 캐릭터에 대하여 좀 더 심층적이고 전문적인 연구가 필요하다.

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.
