Macula Lutea started as a happy accident - I've been working on one of the projects and wrote a small script to control the movement of the lens flare. Due to the calculation error (my bad) the light source ended up in completely wrong spot, resulting in highly exaggerated flare on the screen. Rather than discard the mistake, I decided to pursue intentionally misusing flares and discovered an entire world of cool abstract imagery that can be created in this style.

This project was my first venture into the world of slow motion demo shots, and a pretty successful one, if I may judge it myself. It's been shot over the course of 24hrs on Phantom HD and edited in my standard After Effects environment.

Tim Minchin: Storm

Over a year ago I posted a trailer for a fantastic animated short entitled Storm. The film was to be written and performed by Tim Minchin and directed by DC Turner and scheduled for release in 2010. They year has gone and passed and I assumed the film was cancelled. Apparently I haven't followed it closely enough. The film was released in festivals in 2010 - and in April 2011 it premiered on YouTube.

I woke up late to the sound of cars crossing the Istanbul bridge. I remembered how quiet and peaceful this city can be at dawn, and decided to capture that feeling. Fortunately I had quite a few great shots taken by Bora SÃ¼bakan a few weeks ago. I put on some music and started editing and compositing.
