film isleri / film business

efenim malum, gunlerdir cekime yetismekti, mobilya tamamlamakti, kostum hazirlamaktir filan derken buralari epey bosladim. velhasil, setin ilk fotograflariyla karsinizdayim.

well, since i've been busy with the shooting, furniture, costuming and all, i just didn't have any time to take care of this place. however, here are the first making of photos from the set.

yukarida, yasini da goz onunde bulundurarak cekim planinda ilk gune koydugum ve surada bahsetmis oldugun hanimefendiyi ve oyunculuk yetenegini gorusyorsunuz. tabi mudahale bicimimden de anlasilacagi uzere oyunculuktu yetenekti filan hak getire kendisinde. dusununce bu kuklalarin hicbirinde zerre yetenek, ongoru vs yok ya, neyse.

remember this old lady that i was talking about here? so, considering her age and everything i put her scenes on the first days of shooting. and here in the photo above, you can see her and her acting talent, which is almost none by the way. actually, when i come to think about it, none of these puppets have even the slightest talent for that matter. but anyway..

burada da yasli hanimin ve yaslanmadan onceki (nam-i diger genc) halinin yasadigi evi goruyorsunuz. renk ayari bozukca oldugu icin bir onceki fotograftan cok daha sicak gorunuyor tabi. artik meshur olmus olan su tekli koltuk disinda her sey fena halde el yapimi bu arada.

and here is the place where the old lady and her version before getting old (aka young) lives. it looks way warmer than the previous photo, thanks to wrong-ish white balance settings. and by the way, everything visible here is painfully handmade (well except for the armchair, which is getting quite famous already)

veee ilk konusmali filmimin ilk konusmalarini yaptiran bendeniz. sanci dolu (yok be, keyifliydi aslinda) bir cekimin ardindan "bakalim nasil calisiyor" diye bakip, gercekten konusuyor olan kuklalari gordugumde yasadigim "hanim kos kos! cocuk konustu!" heyecani ise bambaskaymis cidden.

and me, working on the very first speakings of my very first speaking film. notwithstanding the long hours of shooting, the first moment of "omg! the baby is has spoken!" excitement after testing the footage with sound was just priceless.

"stiny vzpominek"

aslinda bu arkadastan tee ne Zamandir bahsedecegim guya ama bir turlu yapim asamasi fotograflarini ele geciremedigim icin hep kaldi. aklima gelmisken sonucu paylasayim bari dedim.
"stiny vzpominek", "hatiralarin golgesi" filan gibi bir anlama sahip. filmin hikayesi petra hanim'a, kuklalar da bana ait. kuklalari haZir armatur kullanarak yaptim. bu armatur kullanma meselesini sevemiyorum malesef Zira kuklanin isi bittikten sonra kendilerini parcalayip armaturu iade etmek gerekiyor. ic parcalayici, evet.
filmin esas olayi 35mm deneyimini yasamis olmamiZdi, herhangi bir teknolojik cihaZ kullanmanin yasak oldugu bir ortamda bir haftada cekip bitirdik. animasyonlarda da golge animasyonlarini cam uZerinde paper cut-out teknigini kullanarak peter bey ve Zofka hanim kotardi, kukla animasyonu da benim isimdi.
velhasil iste, boyleyken boyle. deneyim deneyimdir..

actually, i should've been talking about this a long long time ago but i never got hold of the making-of photos. so i decided to share the result instead.
"stiny vzpominek" means something like "shadows of the memories". the story is written by petra and the puppets are made by me. i made them using stop-motion armatures. yet, i really don't like using those armatures since they need to be torn apart after the shooting. such a tragedy, if you ask me.
anywho, the main thing about this little film was to be able to experience the good ol' film magic with 35mm and without using any technological devices (such as computers, softwares and onionskins). the shadow animations were done by peter and Zofka, using paper cut-out on a glass. and i did the puppet animations.
and yet, experience is experience anyway. better than nothing, eh?
