gnctrkcll: Kurucesme


This project is a not-so-distant cousin of gnctrkcll / cornetto project, and was produced over the weekend break between the two parts of its bigger relative. The main concept remained the same - a stop-motion actor, t-shirt with a character, busy background.

Turkish Airlines: Globally Yours Teaser


This is a teaser TVC created for the launch of Turkish Airlines' new international campaign Globally Yours.

Still, it was by far one of the most complex projects we have worked on - not due to the animation and effects - but to the sheer amount of layers used in the compositions. The final animation is build out of nearly a thousand 2D layers animated in a 3D space.
