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.

Every once in a while the folks at Animation Mentor release some pretty cool e-books, like the ones from the "Tips & Tricks" series by Shawn Kelly.

Case you haven't seen, there's a new one available: How to Become an Animator

After a quick reading, I saw there's some neat things like the description of common job titles in the industry and a pretty good book recommendation list.

Along this e-book also comes a little "gift": an industry survey made with students and professionals, to help you choose the best way to go on the animation field.

Recommended readings! :)
