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.

Interviews with FJORG! winners

After winning the first FJORG!, where groups of animators were locked for 32 hours into Siggraph until some seconds of animation came out, Team Mocap gave two interesting interviews.

The first one, to Spline Doctors, has among other things a link to their funny Demo Reel which helped to get them into the challenge.

The oher one, given to Keith Lango, has some considerations from the interviewer.

For the Blender users around, if you watch the documentary about the competition there's someone there who used it in the production. All teams received workstations with commercial apps but someone preferred use Blender for some tasks instead.
