Delve into Dialogue Animation at the world's best online university according to Forbes"  

2D Character Design and Animation play a fundamental role in the quality and success of video games. These aspects are essential for telling stories within the game. The personality, motivations and relationships of the characters can drive the plot, adding depth and coherence to the narrative.

 In this sense, designers must create pieces capable of connecting with the minds of users through their realism. To do this, professionals must focus on the design of details such as body language, gestures, personality or movements. 
For this reason, TECH has developed a Postgraduate certificate that will give students a comprehensive approach to 2D Character Design and Animation. The syllabus will examine the importance of detailed model sheets, to provide complete visual references to guide the animations. Likewise, the syllabus will provide numerous acting tools, thereby analyzing the characters and their stimuli. 

In turn, the program will analyze pantomime or body language, with the aim of providing the protagonists with gestures and movements. In addition, the teaching materials will examine techniques for animating dialogues, taking into account the contribution of the voice actor. 

All this will be possible thanks to a program that is taught in a completely online modality, which allows the student to distribute the workload according to their needs.

 Likewise, the methodology used, Relearning, is based on the repetition of concepts, without the need to invest extra hours in memorization.  The only thing that students will need is an electronic device with an Internet connection to access the Virtual Campus and enjoy high-quality teaching materials. Also in this virtual environment, they will find a library full of multimedia resources that will reinforce their knowledge in a dynamic way.
