Penulis 
How did you get your nickname 'koopz'? Tell us about it. |
Was searching for fonts one day and found a koobs font, which sounded cool but looked terrible, so I modified it a little, and back then it was 'the real deal' to use z instead of s and shit like that :D
Why did you got interested in movie making and graphic designing ?
I used to photoshop a lot, made banners for virtual soccer sites and such stuff - was hell of fun. My mate introduced me to counter strike, and after playing that for some months I discovered frag movies, and found them interesting to make.

Tell us about your film and graphic designing education?
I'm not educated as a designer nor a visual artist. I'm just an amateur, doing it for fun.

What do you do to make your movie different from other movies?
Try to stay original. I never liked being just like everyone else. I've always been 'that strange kid', no matter what - music taste, clothing, interests and such stuff. People should stop thinking about what people think. Hell, I don't give a fuck if you wear Canada Goose or some unknown brand that’s 10 times cheaper. Respect to the few who are themselves, without getting affected by whats "in" and whats "out".

What kind of movie making and graphic designing do you like the most?
Started digging the real life- fantasizing mind blowing kind of deal. As long as my productions makes people think, I'm satisfied.

How would you describe your movie making process?
Hectic, unknown and un-organized. I never know where my clips will end. I most likely drag in a song I like, start cutting it and from there it can go anywhere - to YouTube with thousands of hits, or to my recycle bin with yea, no hits.

How many hours do you put in for your movies and graphic designing?
Way too many. Increased Value took me half a year to record, develop and produce. It's not that I'm lacking motivation, I just can't get satisfied with my own stuff.

List down some of your favorite movie makers and graphic designers.
Oh well, talking about CS:S editors or gameplay editors in general, I really like FGW from InfProd. He has been doing his thing ever since I saw his first clip - yet he never disappoints. Quality stuff indeed.
