At your own pace! The Relearning methodology used in this Postgraduate Certificate will allow you to learn in an autonomous and progressive way” 

Production in 2D Animation is an essential procedure for the development of video games. It allows developers to bring the characters and the story of the video game to life. Likewise, factors such as the movements or facial expressions of the protagonists are key to telling the story and creating an emotional connection with the players. Likewise, smooth movements, fluid transitions or convincing animations contribute to making the game more immersive for the audience.

For this reason, TECH has developed a Postgraduate Certificate that will provide the keys to Production in 2D Animation.  The syllabus will provide students with the keys to movement design, based on Facial Acting, Breakdowns and Spacing. In line with this, the syllabus will delve into the principles of Inbetweening both arcs and paths. The program will also examine digital shading and stroke-by-stroke techniques to enrich the students' style. In addition, students will learn how to use the program After Effects, allowing them to combine animations, visual effects and graphic elements to produce high-quality film sequences.  

On the other hand, this ground-breaking program will have an innovative 100% online study modality and a teaching platform equipped with cutting-edge learning resources. These will include a variety of multimedia materials such as explanatory videos, interactive summaries and self-awareness tests. Likewise, TECH will provide students with a very complete study system: Relearning. This will enable the assimilation of complex concepts through their gradual and intensive reiteration throughout the syllabus. In this way, graduates will no longer have to memorize the content and will be able to incorporate it into their work in a more flexible and efficient way. The only requirement for students is that they have an electronic device with an Internet connection (such as a cell phone, tablet or computer) to access the Virtual Campus and enjoy the most dynamic educational content on the educational market.

You will master facial acting and create convincing characters in your video games”

You will achieve your objectives thanks to TECH's teaching tools, including explanatory videos and interactive summaries"

With an eminently practical approach, this Postgraduate certificate will focus on the details of Production in 2D Animation. The academic itinerary will delve into the use of Rough Animation, which will allow developers to adjust game interactions before investing resources in detailed final animations. The syllabus will also delve into key character poses, emphasizing lip sync keys. Likewise, the program will cover aspects such as digital shading, gradients and shadow layers. On the other hand, the teaching materials will explore digital composition and cameras. 

You will extract valuable lessons through real cases in simulated learning environments”
