Rise of the Ottoman Empire
TED-Ed
In the late 13th century, Osman I established a small principality sandwiched between a crumbling Byzantine Empire and a weakened Sultanate of the Seljuk of Rum, in what is now Turkey. In just a few generations, this territory had outmaneuvered more powerful neighbors to become the vast Ottoman Empire. What enabled its rapid rise? Mostafa Minawi details the early days of the Ottomans.

Identity Crisis
Matt Simons
We collaborated with Maspeth Music BV to produce a new music video for Matt Simons.
Working on Identity Crisis video was a very fun process mostly because the song is very catchy and so good.
We tried to visualize different identities a man can get by showing various visual artistic styles. Each style comes with its limitation and freedom. As we run through this life like a marathon runner we have to change or reinvent ourselves in order to adjust the current environment. Like the famous Heraclitus said: "The only thing that doesn't change is change itself."
While it is good to know what direction we are headed in, you can't get paralyzed due to impending change, nor can you change what you do today for a future problem or issue...
