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:

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.

2008-Mar-24: Monters Vs Aliens, Andreas Deja and Horton
Monters Vs Aliens, Andreas Deja and Horton

Seems that the guys at DreamWorks are pretty busy.

It is online the site for Monsters Vs Aliens. I liked the visuals, although there isn't much info on the site yet. DreamWorks artists are also working on Kungu Fu Panda, the Madagascar Sequel, How to Train Your Dragon and another Shrek movie! If you guys need some help, just write me an e-mail and I'll go. ;)

There is an interview with Disney animator Andreas Deja, made in occasion of the new 101 Dalmatians Platinum Edition DVD.

 

And today I will finally watch Horton Hears a Who. It's a shame I couldn't go earlier... =/

 

Rotten Tomatoes has an article about The Art of Horton Hears a Who. Mike Thurmeier, Senior Supervising Animator on the film gave an interview about the style on the movie.

As a personal note, the way this article was presented is terrible! It has 13 (yes, thirteen) pages for you to browse, and each of them has lots of extra information and just a very small area dedicated to a 1/13th of the article. Very painful to get though it on its entirety.
