01 How would you describe your work?
Combining architecture in filmmaking will create a different stroke and colours to the diversity.
I usually do that. I love to create a different world in filmmaking which I didn’t manage to do it in architecture field.
02 What do you seek for prior accepting a creative project?
A creative freedom. By meaning, we should have a freedom to explore all the possibilities within the boundaries.
Also the team members you work with, who in the same wavelength with you on the direction of the work.
03 What do you hope to achieve throughout your creative career?
I hope that people will call me for my input, touch and direction in art. Same goes to everyone in the industry, people will call you for your capabilities. Not asking you to produce someone else’s style of work.
04 Which was the most interesting project you’ve ever worked on?
It’s hard for me to choose because all of my projects have different kind of joy and challenges. For example, in ImagiNur I have to design the 80’s looks for a sci-fi love story movie like a sci-fi head gear and its machines.
As for Kree Raya Fashion runaway, it is our first time doing these kinds of things. One of it was we have to set a dessert setting in 8100 sqft theatre hall filled with 20 tonnes of sand.
