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:

2007-Nov-01: Pixar in 2D!!! =)

The acclaimed 2D animated end credits for Ratatouille gave us a taste of what those guys at Pixar are capable of doing in this medium.

Now I've just read the news telling that the upcoming DVD and Blu-Ray Ratatouille discs will bring us the first 2D short from Pixar! =)

I have already bought my Ratatouille DVD (in pre-sale) and now I have one more reason to be counting the days until the release date. While we wait for the release, Animated News shows us how's it going to look.
