2D Animation in video games is characterized by simplicity and a distinctive artistic style, allowing for greater creative flexibility and giving developers the ability to experiment with unique and captivating visual styles. In addition,2D Animation requires fewer computational resources compared to 3D Animation, making it easier to run on devices with limited capabilities. As a result, more and more companies in the industry are looking for highly qualified specialists. 

In this context,TECH  has developed this postgraduate diploma, covering from the basics of 2D language, to advanced techniques of traditional animation. Therefore, aspects such as frame animation, the elaboration of audiovisual scripts and the use of tools such as Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe Animate will be covered in depth. 

The course will also delve into the essential principles of 2D Animation, including concepts such as squash and stretch, anticipation, staging and complementary action. In this way, designers will apply these principles in the creation of fluid and expressive animations, using digital tools to optimize their creative process. In addition, advanced techniques such as animation cycles, full turns and the application of color and shading will be explored to bring characters and scenery to life. 

Finally, more specialized aspects such as lip-syncing, creating walk cycles and applying visual effects such as sweeps and blurs will be explored in depth. Likewise, professionals will receive practical instruction in stroke cleaning and rotoscoping techniques, to perfect their skills and prepare them to face the challenges of the professional world of 2D Animation. 

The syllabus will provide an unparalleled opportunity for graduates, offering a digital and adaptable format. This will allow them greater flexibility in managing their study schedules, helping them to more effectively balance their daily personal and professional commitments. All based on the revolutionary Relearningmethodology, a pioneer in TECH.
