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.

From a Jazzy point of view

I have found an interesting blog, from a musician ( identified just as Josh), who is embarking on a research project in which he'll be studying visual representations of jazz in animated film.

I liked a lot the opinions expressed on his posts, and found it interesting to read about animation from a non-animator point of view.

Among his posts, there is a very cool one about one of my all-time favorite shorts: Three Little Bops, directed by Friz Freleng in 1957.

If you like both animation and jazz, now you have a new link for your bookmarks.

(The link on "Three Little Bops" now points to the YouTube video. Thanks a lot, Kernon!)
