Study from the comfort of your home and update your knowledge online with TECH Global University, the biggest online university in the world”

Pre-Production in 2D Animation is a key procedure that allows video game developers to plan and organize all aspects of their projects. This includes the story, the characters, the scenery, the level design and the game mechanics. In this sense, solid planning is essential to ensure that the video game is executed efficiently and within budget. Likewise, during this phase, potential problems can be identified and resolved before they become costly obstacles during production. This saves both time and resources by avoiding major changes in later stages of development.

In this context, TECH has implemented a Postgraduate certificate that will delve into the Pre-Production stage in 2D Animation. The academic itinerary will delve into Animation Management, focusing on important aspects such as style, vision and responsibilities. Likewise, the syllabus will address online production and workflow.

 In this regard, students will acquire basic notions of the Shotgun program,  in order to assign tasks or monitor development activities. On the other hand, the teaching materials will focus on the recording of final voices and digital audio editing.
As for the methodology of the Postgraduate certificate, the program is based on a 100% online methodology, thereby providing greater flexibility and convenience to the students. This allows students to balance their studies with the rest of their daily responsibilities. It is worth highlighting the use of the Relearning teaching system, of which TECH is a pioneer. This focuses on the repetition of key concepts to consolidate knowledge, facilitating solid and lasting learning, and avoiding the extra effort that memorization would entail. In this sense, the only thing that the specialist will need to enter the Virtual Campus will be an electronic device with an Internet connection.

You will learn more about the Layout to create attractive and challenging experiences for players"

You will design locations that stand out for their high degree of realism”

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the industry who contribute their work experience to this program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to prepare for real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will address advanced communication techniques with the creative and production teamsw"

The Relearning system applied by TECH in its programs reduces the long hours of study so frequent in other teaching methods"

This Postgraduate certificate will provide graduates with a comprehensive overview of Pre-Production in 2D Animation. Designed by experts in the field, the syllabus will delve into the creation of a script breakdown, using planning software. In line with this, the syllabus will thoroughly analyze the design of props and their respective model sheets. In addition, the teaching materials will highlight the narrative value of color, so that students evoke a wide range of emotions in the players (from joy to fear).

A high-intensity program that will allow you to advance quickly and efficiently in your learning"
