You will reinforce your key knowledge through the innovative Relearning methodology for an effective assimilation of the subject”   

More and more companies dedicated to the video game industry are looking to incorporate specialists in 2D Animation Principles in their teams. This is because, through these techniques, more realistic and impactful character animations are created. In addition, they can be used to tell stories through character animation, which is essential to connect with users' minds. In this context, to take advantage of these opportunities, animators need to acquire a competitive advantage that differentiates them from other candidates.  

To help them with this, TECH implements a Postgraduate certificate that will bring together the most effective techniques to design fluid and realistic animations within games. The syllabus will delve into the details of staging, providing students with attractive visual resources to capture the interest of consumers. Likewise, the syllabus will offer the keys to perform pose changes on the characters to provide a richer and more immersive game experience. Throughout the program, students will gain new skills that will enrich their professional practice. In addition, they will be highly qualified to successfully overcome any challenge they face during their work. On the other hand, graduates will be able to contribute innovative animation proposals to stand out in an artistic industry that offers multiple job opportunities.  

It should be noted that this Postgraduate certificate has an innovative methodology in a 100% online format where the disruptive Relearningteaching system stands out. Thanks to it, professionals develop theoretical and practical competencies in a faster and more flexible way while they consolidate complex concepts thanks to the reiteration of concepts. In turn, to access the didactic materials, graduates only need a device with an Internet connection, avoiding unnecessary travel and rigid schedules. 

You will apply 2D Animation Principles to your creations to bring your characters to life and communicate effectively with players”

This Postgraduate certificate in 2D Animation contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of case studies presented by experts in 2D Animation
• The graphic, schematic and practical contents of the book provide theoretical and practical information on those disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

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

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector 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 learn in 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 academic year For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will delve into the composition of parallel and inverse forces and their narrative value"

You will master character pose changes to provide visual feedback to players"

This course will provide graduates with a comprehensive approach to the principles of 2D Animation. To achieve this, the syllabus will delve into various techniques aimed at enriching the staging through attractive visuals and strong drawings. In this sense, the syllabus will delve into character pose changes, in order to make them express moods. In this way, the program will delve into changes of direction as well as speed. On the other hand, the didactic materials will offer resources to trace reactions of the characters and provide them with greater expressiveness.  

You will learn through real cases and by solving complex situations in simulated learning environments”
