### Bending New Corners
#designer #director #styleframes #concepts
Designing concepts through the utilization of LiDAR data and manipulating it with [[● Node Based Visual Programming]] tools presents an exciting frontier in creative exploration. By harnessing LiDAR data, which provides detailed 3D representations of real-world environments, and integrating it into node-based visual programming platforms I can seamlessly collage various real-world locations together, fostering new abstract locations. This fusion enables me to sculpt immersive and intricate environments, enabling the conception of novel concepts that seamlessly blend the physical and virtual realms.

### Stranded + Distorted
#designer #director #styleframes #concepts
#### 01 stranded
Lidar data is highly dense and contains extensive information. Converting it into subdivision surfaces lacks the flexibility needed for animation or dynamic use. I began experimenting with creating strands from the point cloud data to explore motion possibilities.

I'm sure you've come across examples where photos are manipulated and distorted. I'm applying a similar effect to explore how it can alter the visual perspective. What if we delve deeper into these distorted locations? It's like bending time and revealing a new horizon.
### For All Man Kind
#designer #animation #filmtitles
Exploring the possibilities that might exist if the global space race had continued.
For All Mankind is an American science fiction web television series created and written by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi and produced for Apple TV+. The series dramatizes an alternate history depicting "what would have happened if the global space race had never ended" after the Soviet Union succeeds in the first manned Moon landing.

For the All Mankind Jamestown Tour, I joined the project during mid-production. In my role as Designer and Animator, I was tasked with approximately 10 to 12 shots.

### Imagine Entertainment
#designer #director #styleframes #branding
The project aimed to maintain the original concept of Imagine Entertainment (Drop of Water) while introducing a fresh look and art direction. I endeavored to keep the imagery and water as dark as possible to convey a sense of depth, reflecting Imagine Entertainment's rich history.

### Ghost Hunter
#designer #director #animation #filmtitles #concepts
The sequence begins with a three-dimensional audio waveform, capturing the voices of people calling for help at their location. I was tasked with creating the waveform scene to reflect the transition from the urgent calls for help to the next scene in the show's opening.
![[elsatic_ghosthunter_emrah_gonulkirmaz (2).jpg]]
![[elsatic_ghosthunter_emrah_gonulkirmaz (4).jpg]]
The collective sound of voices gets louder and the waveform spikes and grows more erratic. The waveform starts to create a vortex, and we begin to move inside the eye of the storm.

### SEE Main Title
#designer #filmtitles
Imagine a world in the future where humans no longer have eyesight. That is the premise of SEE-- and the starting point of our main title design. We worked closely with the show’s blindness consultant, props and art department to create the aesthetic and sound design behind the sequence. Using ropes, walking canes and echo-locating clicks for communication, See delves into a dimension beyond sight. Stream the original series on Apple TV+

### Nike Hyperfeel
#creative #director #designer #animation #experimental #shorts
The Art + Science of Feeling" delves into the essence of the line as the purest form of quantity, embodying only length without width or depth—a mere flow. This film draws inspiration from Nike's Hyperfeel running innovation, seeking to animate this flat line. It is shaped by data gleaned from running experiences captured through the Nike+ Running App and Nike+ FuelBand, breathing life into the raw essence of movement.

Fluidigm is the first company to make single-cell testing commercially viable, enabling scientists to run genomics testing on low-concentration DNA samples and provide genetic test results in less than three hours.
After finishing the opening animation for the brand, visuals are implemented in to interface of the machine.

### Nike Vapor | Performance System
#designer #director #animation #commercial
The approach was to pursue a bold and sophisticated aesthetic, aiming to showcase the intricate technologies and engineering behind the Nike Vapor Performance System. The objective was to illustrate how this system enables athletes to move more comfortably, lighter, and faster. The images were carefully crafted to capture the body in motion, effectively highlighting the innovation and functionality of the uniform.

### Avengers: Age Of Ultron
#designer #animation #filmtitles #styleframes
Several styleframes have been developed to create a holographic presentation that showcases the impact of the damage caused by superheroes in the world. The concept is to present a "Sales Pitch," but in reality, it serves as a propaganda piece aimed at persuading superheroes to sign up for an act.

### EA Sports Madden 20
#designer #director #animation #commercial
I collaborated closely with Director [Tim Tadder](https://www.timtadder.com/), both onsite and offsite, as a Design director. My responsibilities included leading a team to create content for the LED walls and coordinating the motion graphics with live action performances on stage. It was a rewarding experience working with top athletes on set, who showed great patience and professionalism throughout the shoot.

### Starz Rebrand
#designer #director #animation #branding #experimental
I collaborated with Yu+Co to develop and implement a visual language for the Starz network brand. This language permeates across all Starz platforms, aligning with their new tagline, "Taking You Places."
<div style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;"><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/68432089?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" title="Starz IDs (Director's Cut)"></iframe></div>
Conceptually, I opted for organic and solid sculptural forms characterized by fluid motion. While the overall approach remained consistent across the brand package, the distinction between the main and sub-channel or program IDs was defined by the forms and motion.

The story revolves around Leonardo's personal journals, known as Codex Atlanticus, which contain over 6,000 pages of handwritten notes and drawings. Award-winning actor Peter Capaldi narrates the translated text and passages directly from Leonardo's journals. Our task was to help develop the look and feel, and then animate the "mind-scape" that immerses the audience in Leonardo's thoughts and ambitions.

### COLR
#creative #director #designer #animation #experimental #shorts
Abstract painter Kenneth Noland's work, particularly his painting "Beginning," is often associated with the Color Field Painting era. This movement emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by large fields of flat, solid color that aimed to evoke emotional responses from viewers. Noland's exploration of color and form aligns closely with the principles of Color Field Painting, which sought to emphasize the expressive potential of color itself.
Noland drew inspiration from fellow Color Field painter Morris Louis, whose innovative techniques and vibrant use of color deeply influenced Noland's artistic approach. Louis's Color Field paintings, characterized by their large, unbroken expanses of color, served as a catalyst for Noland's exploration of similar themes in his own work.

### BRINK
#creative #director #designer #animation #experimental #shorts
Brink endeavors to transcend the concept of identity through a shift in perspective. The piece commences with a suspended moment, inviting the viewer to engage with close-up clusters of forms that serve as abstract visual cues. By viewing the subject as a landscape and exploring within an organic realm, various spaces emerge from its context.
