    Manual de producción para cortometrajes de animación 2D: Guía de procesos a partir de una producción animada para la productora OscuraFilms, Cuenca, Ecuador
    (Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2026) Herráez Maldonado José Patricio
    The Ecuadorian 2D animation industry has increased its content output without independent production companies relying on documented production processes, a situation that at OscuraFilms, a production company based in Cuenca, results in technical bottlenecks, visual inconsistencies between phases, and difficulties scaling projects. Given this methodological gap, the present study aimed to design a process guide for the production of 2D animated short films, applied to the development of the author short film Ter: La casa. The study was carried out using the MOICAR methodology (Moya Méndez, 2026), composed of the documentary, experimental, and discursive stages, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques, including an interview with the production company's manager, a focus group with industry professionals, and a survey applied to animators and graphic designers in the region. The results showed that 48.4 percent of practitioners work intuitively and that 51.6 percent frequently experience visual or technical inconsistencies, while 87.1 percent of the sample considered it pertinent to have a technical creative manual to order the workflow. Based on this evidence, it can be concluded that the lack of a documented process system is a widespread problem in the independent animation sector of Cuenca, and that the proposed manual, validated through practical application in a real production case, offers a replicable tool to optimize time, visual quality, and technical communication in small work teams.
