When using SMP, I love to use helpers (markers) and lines to draw trajectories of flying or bouncing objects.\u00a0I also like to use a keypad and dual screens to make animating easier.<\/p>\n

Hi Beko, please tell us about yourself.<\/h5>\n

I was born in Instanbul and moved to France when I was 3, I knew that I would make stopmotion movies when i was 5 thanks to an English TV show called “Dream On” (Declic in France) full of funny pixilation and graphic works.
\nAs a teenager, I started filming with my parents Super8 camera and after University I studied 3D computer graphics and became a 3D animator (3DS Max \/ Character Studio…) and worked on cinematics for video-games on PC and Playsation.
\nIn 2002 I became a freelancer, creating 3D, 2D, Clay and pixilation animations.<\/p>\n

Recently I finished 4 short movies for an International company called SPIE. Two clay characters who explain the worldwide activities of this company.
\nI teach stopmotion in schools, festivals and sometimes in prisons and hospitals.<\/p>\n

What sort of equipment do you use?<\/h5>\n

Canon DSLR 450D and 60D with 17-55mm f2.8 – 50mm f1.4 – 70-200mm f4 L
\nLights :
\n2 softboxes and LED spot lights<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

How do you use Stop Motion Pro?<\/h4>\n

SMP is used for filming, of course and sometimes for still pictures ;
\nUsually, for clay animation I take still pictures of drawn storyboards and characters. When the customer approves the storyboards and character designs we can start. Thanks to the background image and overlay (rotoscope), I can build the final scene by matching the elements with the overlayed picture exactly.?<\/p>\n

When you animate, how do you like to use Stop Motion Pro??<\/h5>\n

Onionskinning is always ON.
\nI love to use helpers (markers) and lines to draw trajectories of flying or bouncing objects.
\nI also like to use a keypad and dual screens to make animating easier.<\/p>\n

Can you tell us a little about how you make the imagery in your work?<\/h5>\n

Everything start with a vision, a drawing and only then the choice of the clay, puppet, paper etc… To make the puppets recycling is the way I prefer. Electrical wire, parts of toys, extruded polystyrene are my best materials. I use (cheaper) techniques inspired by Aardman Studios.<\/p>\n

What’s next for you and your animation?<\/h5>\n

After “Vroom” and all our commercial work, I want to revist two animations written a few years ago.
\nOne is to explain the nonsense of the actual economy (2D cutout paper), the second will teach a secret to children (using clay).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
