Project Details:
A video clip for a song from the first solo album of Batuhan Mutlugil, the founding member and guitarist of one of Türkiye's most famous rock bands, Duman.
- Two digital handycam cameras were used in the shooting. VHS aesthetics combined with documentary style.
- The aim was to create a documentary style film that would allow us to closely observe the artist's daily routines during the Covid period in the summer resort.The creative director's perspective, which also made metaphorical references to the artist's inner world and head voices, was met with great interest by listeners and fans. For the first time, images of the artist during his time off stage were reflected on the screen outside of the intimate and classical narrative.
Structural Challenges of the Project:
- Shot in continuous 3 days during the Covid 19 restrictions.

SCREENWRITER, DIRECTOR & CO-PRODUCER
Project Platforms: TV, Digital Music Platforms (Spotify, Apple Music), META, Google, Printed Media
Project Timeline: 2 months (March-May 2021)
Project Details:
- Directed and co-produced a trilogy of music videos, portraying different stages of a relationship.
- Designed an episodic production format for the trilogy, which was released consecutively and garnered significant attention.
- Wrote and directed a detailed script, aiming to create a short film effect narrating a cinematic love story
- When watched one after another, short stories in a narrative style, linked by the concept of time transitions, turn into a short film format of approximately 11 minutes.
Structural Challenges of the Project:
- Shot over three days during the Covid 19 restrictions. In the shootings that took place for 3 consecutive days, the shooting of a clip for 1 song was completed each day and we obtained a total of 3 music videos.
- The biggest handicap of the project was completing the shooting with a team of approximately over 40 people in accordance with all health inspections under Covid-19 restrictions.
- As required by the scenario of the 3rd clip, we gathered many people around the same table for a celebration scene and these were volunteer actors and musicians. Due to the Covid bans of the period, it was not possible for people to come together and have such meetings, and we thought that these images would make everyone who watched the clip feel good and give them hope for better days, and it happened as we expected. The 3rd clip of the serie had exceeded 1 million views and over 1000 comments in its first week of Youtube broadcast.
