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-02: CarToons

It's great to see that Pixar is also producing animated shorts intended for TV. :)

Nobody can argue on their fantastic quality, and I believe that this effort can help raising the bar on the quality of some animated TV series. CarToons premiered on Disney Channel on USA a few days ago, and the three first episodes were directed by no less than John Lasseter and co-directed by the great Victor Navone and Rob Gibbs.

I saw this news at Victor Navone's website, and you can watch some sneak peeks here.
