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.

2009-Feb-15: Brazilian MTV News

One of the things that have keeping me away from blogging is rigth below: the new opening for the Brazilian MTV News.


Notícias MTV / MTV News from Virgilio Vasconcelos on Vimeo.

I still don't have the final audio track, but I liked the result. The direction and final composition was made by Marck Al, from NitrocorpZ studio. I made the models and animation in Blender, based by some boards sent by Marck.

A feature promised for Blender 2.5 that I really missed when making this video was the ability to edit multiple objects at the same time. Adjust the animation of multiple objects will be very pleasing when the new version arrives. :)

Hi, Matt. Thanks for your comment. :)

Yes, I made that as a freelancer. My current job is with web development, which doesn't require me to use Blender at all.

Basically all animation I do is either freelance or personal stuff, and I really hope to change that soon. ;)

Cheers

Great work Virgilio! You really should switch jobs! (not that I think your web work is bad, it's just that your animation work is great! LOL!
