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.

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.
