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.

The original name is "Братья пилоты готовят на завтрак макарончики", and I have no idea on how to say that. But the animation is so brilliant that I think it is worth learning. :)

"Pilot-Brothers cook macaroni for breakfast" would be the English name for this Russian short, produced in 1996 by Pilot Studio.

I met their beautiful work yesterday, at the celebration screening for the International Animation Day. There was some cool shorts there, others not so much, and then there was the Russian ones. In my humble opinion, they really stood from the crowd. I loved their style and nonsense humor.

Fortunately we can get to know a lot of Russian shorts on  YouTube. :)
