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.

Our Wonderful Nature

Isn't this little rodent on the picture really cute? ;)

This is screenshot from a very well done short called Our Wonderful Nature. In a Discovery Channel style, I found it very funny. There are some cliches, but they worked pretty well. I laughed out loud.

It was animated by Tomer Esched and Dennis Rettkowski as a part of the animation study at the Academy for Film and Television "Konrad Wolf" in Potsdam.

Worth viewing.

I've seen that before, it's great! When I first saw it, I actually didn't realize it was CG until they did the slow motion recap. Very well done!
