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-May-12: Igor

It is online the trailer of Igor.

It looks pretty promising to me, although I think that this article on it has a pretty unfair question:

could this be the next Nightmare Before Christmas?

I think that the movie could be very good, but the standards set by Tim Burton's movie are pretty hard to achieve. Not that it is impossible, but the trailer didn't make me feel like that. The influence is pretty clear, but I have to see the movie first.

This is being produced by Paris based Sparx studios, and it is one of the movies I'm looking forward to. =)
