Hayko Cepkin — Sıkı Tutun
A music-video production role focused on assembling illustration assets into cel-animation sequences, effects/VFX work and the final edit.
Role
My part in the Sıkı Tutun video was centered on motion production rather than illustration authorship: combining the supplied drawings into animated sequences, building cel-animation movement, adding effects/VFX and shaping the final edit.
Process
Working from static illustration assets meant creating motion without losing the character of the drawings. Timing, compositing, transitions and effects had to support the graphic language rather than overwhelm it.
The result sits between animation, compositing and music-video editing: separate visual elements become a continuous moving piece through layering, timing and treatment.
Why it belongs here
This work represents an earlier period of hands-on motion/VFX production and helps show that the visual side of my portfolio did not begin with generative tools. The same concerns — structure, rhythm, transformation and making disparate source material behave as one system — were already present.
