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:

2008-Nov-05: Monsters Vs Aliens - looking good

It is online the trailer for DreamWorks' upcoming feature Monsters Vs Aliens. :)

I think it's looking pretty good so far. These movie-genre parodies being made by DreamWorks are coming along pretty nicely until now. First was the great Kung Fu Panda in the shaolin-noodle 70's style, and now this 50's alien invasion thing.

Make sure you don't miss the behind the scenes. ;)

P.S.: I'm going tonight to AnimaMundi and the Brazilian Blender Conference in Belo Horizonte. I'll possibly be away from blogging these days, but I promise to come back with some good things from this trip. :)
