대만애니메이션의 발전과 그 동향 분석

Abstract

대만 초기애니메이션은 미국과 일본의 영향아래 발전하였으며, 대부분 하청위주의 위탁가공이었다. 1970-80년대 이후 애니메이션 산업의 기술적 정착과 체계적 관리는 현재 대만애니메이션 산업의 발전과 디지털화를 가능하게 하였다. 1990년대 이후 정부의 장려금지원정책도 있었지만 기업투자의 열망과 창작자의 실험적 창의성이 산업경제구조와 잘 조화되면서 애니메이션의 급속한 성장을 가져왔다. 2000년에 이르러 인터넷과 영상매체의 발전으로 애니메이션 산업은 새로운 영역으로 확대되었지만 여러 문제점도 함께 나타났다. 이는 대만정부의 소극적인 애니메이션 보조금 지원정책과 전문적인 인재양성 계획 부재, 전문교육기관과 교육인력 미비, 창의적인 스토리텔링 고갈과 해외작품의 형식위주 모방 그리고 문화산업간 국제교류 부족 등에 기인한다. Animation in Taiwan has been profoundly influenced by the production of labor intensity for American and Japanese in the early days of its development. This phenomenon of the labor intensity reached peak in the 1980s. Information Bureau of Taiwan began to establish a system of supportive funding for its animation industry in the 1990s. During this period, the animation industry in Taiwan gave special emphasis to the theme of the local culture and to the creative works of the animation. By the 2010s, the elements of Chinese culture were introduced in the animation production in Taiwan. Through cross-national cooperation in production with other advanced countries, the Taiwan-made animation was successfully expended to the international market. However, the animation industry in Taiwan is facing the following problematical challenges: Firstly, the Taiwan government gives special attention to the financial support of animation industry rather than training university students to become professional experts in animation production. Secondly, there is no professional higher institution established to train specialized professional animation film-makers. Thirdly, Due to the lack of the cultural inspiration and the original mind, the form of its creative animated production is primarily imitated from other advanced countries. And fourthly, despite the fact that there is a cooperation and exchange programs between Taiwan and other foreign animation industries.
