About this episode
TVP Podcast #33 | Jamie sits down with award-winning filmmaker Gökalp Gönen to chat about his unique animated filmmaking process and his vision for a transformative future.
Based in Turkey, Gökalp Gönen has made a name for himself with acclaimed short films such as 'Golden Shot,' 'Avarya,' and 'Lal.'
He takes us behind the scenes of his latest masterpiece, 'Lal,' unravelling the process of bringing his short films to life. As a dedicated user of Maya software, he opens up about the challenges that come with managing a large animation team and why he finds fulfilment in working with a smaller, more agile group.
Interestingly, Gökalp envisions a future where he can embrace solo filmmaking aided by AI, addressing the downsides of prolonged computer use.
This episode is a unique window into directing animation, filmmaking, the impact of technology on health, and the possibilities that lie ahead in the world of solo filmmaking enhanced by AI.
