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.

God bless YouTube and the kind people who upload those things. =)

Via Animated News, I came across three video rarities (which already got their place on my hard drive) which I share with you:

  1. Walt Disney, Ward Kimball, Frank Thomas (among other masters) in a video reenacting the brainstorming process for the Three Little Pigs:

  2. The Making of Pinocchio:

  3. The Making of Bambi (in two parts):


It is so inspiring to watch masters like Ward Kimball, Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas talking about their challenges and discoveries made while making those masterpieces. =)
