The verb we use for 'to translate' in Turkish is 'çevirmek' which literally means to turn, change to or switch to.. These are just a few of the many other meanings of the verb in Turkish. It is really interesting to see how do we use physical actions/motions defining other things. It's so exciting to see what's behind the curtain and how a language evolves in...

Another unexpectedly great and inspiring week. I liked the technique pixilation and marvellous works of Dougal. I got interesting ideas and wrote down already on my notebook. Great course with great hosts and their magical works. Thanks for inspiring us!

It seems to me that they have been used green screen technique and 3D animations to bring t-shirts life. Well, I can only say that I love it! I haven't seen it before. I always like adverts of IKEA but here it's something really very specific Dougal brings into the project.

It is clearly visible that this project costs a lot, takes long time and effort to do. But in the end you can see it's very unique something. Great job!

At first sight of this course I was more interested in stop motion as we focus in week 1 because it is more traditional but as I see it in week 2 that 2D or cell animation has a lot traditional process which I love! I like very much the movie of the week "Sleeping with the fishes". It has strongly inspired me and made me thinking of different ideas.
Thanks a... -

So here is my second try of a short slow motion. This one fortunately longer than previous one. I used a small figure made of wire which I got it from South Africa. I just got an idea of a story ( which you will see as short description below the video on YouTube) and it took me about two hours to make it all. I enjoyed the process a lot. Hope you like it!! I...

Animation is a unique way of bringing your imagination into reality. as John Lennon says; "imagine!"

Of course I remember many cartoons which I was hypnotised while I was watching. But I can say that Tim Burton's stop-motions were inspiring me most. Especially the stop-motion scenes of the great movie Beetle Juice.

Old school effects are making the movie is more than a movie. One of my favorite movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" brings all the crazy fantastic ideas to the screen with old school effects which makes everything more real even if they are fantasies. So Michel Gondry is a Guru of old school effects of our time in my opinion.

Thanks for the recommendation. Impressive movie!

I just watched it. Such a good idea and professional work. I like the actor's performance too. Thanks for recommending!
