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-Nov-05: Monsters Vs Aliens - looking good

It is online the trailer for DreamWorks' upcoming feature Monsters Vs Aliens. :)

I think it's looking pretty good so far. These movie-genre parodies being made by DreamWorks are coming along pretty nicely until now. First was the great Kung Fu Panda in the shaolin-noodle 70's style, and now this 50's alien invasion thing.

Make sure you don't miss the behind the scenes. ;)

P.S.: I'm going tonight to AnimaMundi and the Brazilian Blender Conference in Belo Horizonte. I'll possibly be away from blogging these days, but I promise to come back with some good things from this trip. :)
