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.

2008-May-28: John K on Composition, backgrounds and hierarchy

I think one can never recommend enough to everyone stop by John Kricfalusi's blog. Maybe he is a little too radical sometimes, but there is no doubt he knows what he is talking about.

This time there is a post (long as usual) about scene composition, backgrounds and visual hierarchy.

----------

As a side note, I'll be at Universidade Salgado de Oliveira giving a lecture on Blender tonight. If you happen to be there, go there and say hi. =)

And it is totally confirmed the short Blender course on Friday at Free Software Forum. I'm glad to say that all positions were filled some days ago. =)
