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.

Our Wonderful Nature

Isn't this little rodent on the picture really cute? ;)

This is screenshot from a very well done short called Our Wonderful Nature. In a Discovery Channel style, I found it very funny. There are some cliches, but they worked pretty well. I laughed out loud.

It was animated by Tomer Esched and Dennis Rettkowski as a part of the animation study at the Academy for Film and Television "Konrad Wolf" in Potsdam.

Worth viewing.

I've seen that before, it's great! When I first saw it, I actually didn't realize it was CG until they did the slow motion recap. Very well done!
