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 Genk Research Unit, in the 'Critical reflections of and through animation' cluster. 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.

Hugh - one more time, the French...

Probably some of you would tell me that I think everything that comes from France is brilliant.

I don't believe that this is true, but I admit that the shorts which made me smile recently came from there. Basically, I think they achieved something that's pretty hard to do: to beautifully join technique and storytelling.

The last one to achieve this is Hugh, made by students at ESMA. On the official site we can only watch the hi-res versions with audio in French. If you are like me and do not (yet) understand French, you can watch a version with English subtitles here.
