About

I'm an Animation Professor at LUCA School of Arts, campus C-mine in Genk, Belgium. I teach at the Re:Anima Joint Master in Animation and I'm a senior researcher at the Inter-Actions Research Unit. My research interests include philosophy of Technics, power relations inscribed in and reinforced by technical objects, and decolonial perspectives in animation. Previously, I was an Animation Professor at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Brazil. MFA and PhD by the Graduate Program in Arts at EBA/UFMG. I'm also a free software advocate, animator, rigger and I also like to code. You can see some of my works and know a bit more about me at:

Blender Animation Book

I've written a book about Rigging and Animation in Blender for Packt Publishing. You can get the files here.

Old Blog

Yes, I had a blog. Haven't updated it since 2011. Anyway, if you need something from there I have kept backwards compatibility and you can read it below.

Got today a really great tip from Kernon, founder of BlenderNewbies:

Its a series of videos. Three of them are about a TV special called "I Drew Roger Rabbit", with the great Richard Williams.

I have this movie DVD - which is one of my favorites - and I can say those videos are not on the extra features.

For those who don't know (or remember) Williams gave to the animation world some other gems, like the "Bible" Animator's Survival Kit.

The fourth video is another rarity: the workprint intro from "The Thief and Cobbler", an animated feature in which Williams worked for 26 years. This movie was released (without him and with modifications) on early nineties. You can read more about the history that involves this movie production here.

Now, for your delight:
