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.

2007-Dec-17: Back to work!
Back to work!

Well... my vacations are now over.

My little project isn't, though. =/

Fortunately I've managed to do a lot of things on it. I think I could end up with something cool, but now I'll have to slow down the production because of my job.

I'm trying to apply on it some aspects I want to study: animate acting and weight, create layout and backgrounds and develop a reasonable plot. It's important to notice that - besides Blender - I'm using Audacity, Gimp and Inkscape a lot. I'll be giving you some updates soon. =)

--------------------------

Found a great commercial, made by the great director Sylvain Chomet, from the classic "Les Triplettes de Belleville". I don't know how old is this commercial, but I had found it last week. =)

I'm really looking forward to his next production (The Illusionist), which will be out on 2009.

--------------------------

The new Horton Hears a Who trailer, from the awesome guys at Bluesky, is fantastic. I had already liked a lot their teaser, but this one makes sure that we'll have at least one great movie next year. =)

--------------------------

Well... basically it's all for today. Now that my vacations are over I'll be updating this blog more often.
