It's a place to create high-tech media concepts to design leading media productions | https://unzi.net/ |
| Future Media Art Lab | Jin Wan Park | In line with the rapidly changing media era, FMA LAB aims to produce commercial results by applying future-oriented new technologies to research new expressions of artists and applying them to works. By narrowing the distance between Art studies and Technology, FMA creates new content that has never been experienced before, giving each other the opportunity to use the latest technologies from basic training on programming to achieve the desired results. Produced works develop into papers, providing an opportunity to increase academic value in works. | http://fma.cau.ac.kr/ | |
| Animation | Art of Motion & 2D Trick film Lab | Jae-woong Kim | 2D animation theory, planning, and production are studied. The narrative structure of animation stories, popular culture, planning and marketing/producing theory, the technical and aesthetic meaning of modern formative art theory and new media, the analysis and interpretation of animation images, and the academic system of culture and arts education using animation are studied. (Multi-modal Sentiment Analysis) | https://cauanimation.modoo.at/ |
| Contents Producing & Character Animation LAB | Tak-Hoon Kim | The content production lab studies the production method for each production characteristic through case-study of the overall process of discovery, planning, and animation production of animation projects. We distribute produced animations at home and abroad, study the overall process from product planning to production and sales through licensing, and take the lead in animation-related marketing. | https://taktoon.modoo.at/ | |
| Immersive Media/Animation Content Lab | Wok-Sang Jang | The Immersive Media/Animation Content Lab produces 3D animation content and immersive media content such as AR and VR using advanced technology. We are teaching content production and directing theory in parallel, through this, we want to develop the ability to create dynamic and experimental animation, the animation that values breathing with the audience, and the animation that captures both solid narrative structure and powerful directing. The goal is to develop and foster high-quality human resources in the 3D animation field, including directors, producers, artists, and educational personnel. | https://blog.naver.com/w00ksang | |
| CAD Lab | Gyu-Hyun Kim | Character Animation Lab (CAD Lab) is a place to produce and research animated works based on passion and innovative research in character animation and related fields. Our laboratory is actively conducting research and creative production activities in various fields such as Animating, Layout/Previs, Character Design, Storyboard, etc. to produce excellent results in the animation field.

In addition, since 2022, it has been selected for the OTT content specialization graduate program by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and has been operating the "Research Institute for OTT Content (RIOC)" to carry out scholarship, education, training, and research projects with the new major name of "OTT Content Planning/Policy/Business". The related research fields can be largely divided into two. One is industrial study to develop the capability to function as an expert in various fields of the audiovisual industry, especially in planning leaning K-content IP for global media platforms, and the other is study on policy measures to develop the content industry and realize cultural welfare and a balanced media ecosystem. | ||
| Film, Animation & Media Studies LAB | Jae-cheol Moon | boasts the best history and tradition in Korea. It has produced the largest number of professors at domestic and international universities, and a significant number of film critics and international film festival programmers are graduates of this major. Many graduates are active in related organizations such as the Korean Film Council and the Korea Film Archive, and are also achieving good results in the film production field, including producing award-winning documentary directors. The main research areas are aesthetic, historical, technical, and philosophical understanding of film phenomena, but film studies are being expanded to include socio-cultural and media studies. In addition, we are responding to new trends by expanding the scope of research to various areas such as digital content and media art through interdisciplinary links with animation and engineering majors |
