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:

2008-Jun-20: Animation Tips And Tricks Blog

Now the three Animation Mentor founders have a blog. =D

Carlos Baena and Bobby Beck have been writing for a while, but now Shawn Kelly also joined the bloggers club. I found it very cool that he used his famous column "Animation Tips & Tricks" on Animation Mentor as the subject of his blog. Another one to be on my daily read list. =D

And talking about Animation, Tips and Tricks, I found this cool video at Spline Doctors. Interesting as reference for facial rigs:
