I started to work in Filma-Cass Film Production as a member of post production and desktop ad films team. The firm and environment is quite well and funny, also I am doing something apart from web design here and that makes me very happy. I will try to develop some After Effects and other post production software systems.

Hi to all, I finally gave my graduation project at school this term with a pleasant B. That is an awesome thing for me, although there are a few unimportant classes left to take to finish the school completely, it doesn’t really matters. I succeeded the hardest part. Unfortunately I had a very small amount of time to spend working on this project, so a B is a very satisfactory grade for me.
The subject was game design, my game was a modernization on the traditional theatrical Turkish shadow-play widely known as Karagöz.  I tried to give the characters a new look and make them playable in today’s computer games world. I will convert the project to a web optimized and browser compatible format soon,  and then post a detailed explanation using my graduation thesis on the subject.

Btw,  “Güldürüklü Temaşa” means “Funny Show” or “a Show with Laughter” in old Turkish spoken during the Ottoman Empire era. The origin of the game comes from the very beginning of the empire, like 1300s. Small 2D puppets, in size of a hand, made of camel leather, reflected to a half transparent paper curtain by shivering brightish candle lights , the play can be stated as an ancestor to today’s multimedia environment.

Here are some screenshots from the gameplay screens for now..

Finally I could choose a brand new Apple core2duo iMac 20″ for my design and computing needs. Thanks to my colleagues at Networked Concepts, they helped me a lot during the purchase process.
My first impression on this machine is that these machines rock! They are simply the best computers Apple has produced by now. Both in osX and Windows XP (thanks to bootcamp beta) platform; the core2duo processor powered with DDR2 667Mhz rambus make dreams come true. As stated in the user’s manual on migrating to osX from Windows; lose ctrl, gain command! Personally I loved this motto..

This is a project we work on for about 6 months, it will be a competitor to Turkey’s leading food delivery service yemeksepeti.com. It is planned that site opens betatesting on December 15th for now, if all the coding work goes right on the way. I am working with my freelance team members Cenk Sarı and Kağan Çam on this project. The carrier firm will open a logo design contest after the site starts serving later on January 2007.

Here’s a small preview on this project:

After completing official website for the movie Sınav, we have made an agreement to design and maintain the websites of the production company of the film, Böcek Yapım, starting with its own corporate website and Derinsu, upcoming movie to be shot in summer 2007.
Links will be added as we make progress on these two projects.

I have been accepted to the core team of the Chicago based new media start up, NetworkedConcepts.
This is a revolutionary start up as mentioned in the company’s name, also as much as it is Networked Concepts, it also brings “networked” talents from all around the world together on multiple innovative web based new media projects. I am working as an Art Director on branding design and GUI design on these projects.
