Insanin kendisi hakkinda yazmasi ne zormus... Biz -biz derken Cengiz Keten ve Sahin Alparslan- yillardir birçok sirkette, birçok projede çalistik. Ama yapmak istedigimiz kendi projelerimiz de vardi... Ee, yas da ilerliyor artik... Dedik ki: “ Simdi degil de ne zaman?; o projeler degil de hangileri?†Arkadaslar da verdi gazi... Sonuçta Mart 2006’da dükkani açtik, bize gaz veren arkadaslara da dedik ki "disardan konusmak kolay, hadi sizde gelinde su islere basliyalim!". Valla gül gibi islerini birakip geldiler. Sirketi kurduktan sonra Star Tv’ye Ümit Milli ’yi, Kanal D’ye de Ah Polis Olsam adli dizileri yaptik. Açikca hiç beklemedigimiz halde bizi destekleyen bu iki kanalin yöneticilerine, ilerde Oscar töreninde mutlaka tesekkür edecegiz. Kurulduktan on ay sonra isler büyüdü simdiki yeni yerimize tasindik.
Bir de çalisirken kendi montaj ve ses islerimizle daha rahat ilgilenebilmek için kendi post production birimimizi kurduk, özel efekt ve animasyonlar daha çok filmlerde ve reklamlarda görünüyor ya; biz dizilerimizde kullanmayi çok istedik, birkaç animasyon firmasi ve animatörle görüstük... Gören de zanneder ki Star Wars’ i falan bunlar yapmis, bir de fiyat çekiyorlar ki, is yapmak mümkün degil. Kurduk animasyon sistemimizi. Kendi islerimizde bir sürü efekt ve animasyonlar yaptik, fena da olmadi yani :) Disardan isteyen olursa onlara da yapariz dedik... Yeter ki zavalli dizi yapimcilarini Gaddar animatörlerden ve onlarin yerli isbirlikçilerinden kurtaralim!
Sagolsun kanallar da her hafta dizi görünümlü TV filmleri istiyorlar, 80 dakika dizi mi olur? Burda oluyor ne yapacaksin :( Hal böyle olunca da setler gece gündüz çalisiyor. Bu ülkede nedense kostüm, aksesuar kiralayan, tasarlayan , çesitli sarf malzemeleri bulunduran kapsamli bir sirket yok, mecburen onu da biz kuruyoruz; FilmLojistik . Hem de 365 gün 24 saat açik olarak.
Simdi de Türksat’a taktik! Yayin iki de bi gidiyor, uzaya uydu mu firlatsak ?... Neyse sira ona gelmedi daha, yapacak bir sürü proje var zaten...
Isn’t it so hard to write about yourself ? Well, let’s try. We -Sahin Alparslan and Cengiz Keten- had been working in different projects for different companies for many years. However we had our own projects which we wanted to realize. Time was passing us by without hesitation and we thought “If not now, when ? Which projects if not those which we dream? Moreover our friends put fresh hearts into our enterprise. Consequently, we established Istanbul MassMedia in March 2006. We also said to our friends: “It’s easy to speak from outside; come here and let’s begin to those projects together. So did they. They gave up their own works and joined us without hesitation.
After establishing the company we produced the TV serials named “ Ümit Milli †for Star TV and “ Ah Polis Olsam †for Kanal D, two of the biggest TV channels in Turkey. To tell you the truth, we will absolutely thank these two TV channels in Oscar Ceremony for their unexpected support to our company. Ten months after the foundation of Company, our business has widened and we moved to our new facilities.
We have set our post production unit to be able to deal with our own editing and dubbing works more easily. In addition to this; although special effect and animations are seen majorly in feature films and in advertisements, we wanted them very much in our tv serials as well. So we’ve met some animation companies and animators. But we didn’t get what we expected. They were talking in such a way that you could think that they were the creators of Star Wars. No need to say, their prices were so high that it’s impossible to do business, so we set our own animation system and made a lot of animations and effects. They were not so bad at all :). We thought that we can do this for the projects that is not ours if there is request. Just in order to save the tv producers from the cruel hands of animators. (No Offence) ;)
There is one more point. Thanks to the TV channels. They want tv serials of the same length of a feature film. Can a tv serial be 80 minutes long? It’s possible in our country. So while the situation is this, the film sets are working day and night. So we thought that while the sets are working so intense why there is no company designing and renting accessories, costumes and providing consumable supplies. Seeing one has to do this, we decided to be that one. Film Logistic . It’s open 365 days 24 hours. Wow..
Nowadays we have taken Turksat (Turkish Satellite) into our minds! The broadcast network is interrupted so often. Should we send a satellite to the space? No no, not now. We already have many projects to realize... Which projects? Go into the pages. Let’s see if you will like them..
