February 24, 2010 from abduzeedo's blog
Marcelo Souza is a 3D Animator/Generalist from Brazil with more than 12 years of experience working at all stages of the production pipeline. From the pre-production to the final compositing. Passing through the modeling, rigging, shading, lighting texturing, animation, editing and post production of the piece. As he says"In Brazil we are not able to work just on a single step of the production". We have to work always as 3D Generalists."
Marcelo was one of the greatest inspirations I had to start Abduzeedo. He was the founder and ran a very important site in the 3D/Animation/Design community in Brazil called 3donline. That was in the early 2000s. It was a very active community and I learned a lot from participating and sharing ideas with those guys.
As you may have noticed, i am from Brazil... I live in one of the biggest/richest countries on America. But, unfortunatelly, the money is on the governments hands, and we, honest citzens, just suffer month-by-month, with high taxes. :(
So,i just cannot afford to pay for Animation Mentor Classes right now. It's about lack of money and time for it (Fulltime job and family).
Some works
I like a LOT to animate, but never sat down and did some proper and deeper study on it. I have a bunch of animation books, and read them from time to time, but never followed any animation training program.

I was fortunate to work on that piece of animation too. It was very fun cause i have change to participate on the creation process of it. The look of the "light path" was developed by me and animated by me. The Camera and the "Growing Tree" too. The overall design was made with my friend Chico Jofilsan (vimeo.com/user1701592), and i've workd with Renato Ferro, Victor Hugo, Kleber Bertoldo.
