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:

2008-May-09: Kung Fu Panda - Second Trailer

It is online the new trailer of DreamWorks' Kung Fu Panda.

I'm really looking forward to watch this movie. In addition to everything we can see for ourselves in the trailer, it also has a strong recommendation: Jerry Beck, from Cartoon Brew, watched the movie in a pre-release session and recommended it publicly.

"I believe is one of the best CG animated films I’ve ever seen.

Yup. Right up there with The Incredibles. Dreamworks has done it. No joke."

Would you believe in him? Would you go for his taste? Well... I did when he recommended Surfs Up while everyone was talking only about Ratatouille. I can say I didn't get disappointed at all. =)
