this similarity would be easier if the head was fiber!

What if the had was fiber?
Then let alone your animator dancing, running, would focus just to keep his nose up full attention
Fiber is a heavy, hard and fragile material. it is also harmful to health, uncomfortable.
this perfect similarity to artwork, gains a great advantage with this ultra light material.
Exactness in details provides exactness in whole!
Similarity just in main form is not sufficient.
Perfect similarity between artwork and mascot means perfect similarity from teeth to all details.
REVOLUTION OF LIGHTNESS!

both it is huge and light weight as a bird!

they both smile the mascot and animator!

jvind head size=10 kid heads
Above mascot head is one of the biggest in size. Considering additional two ears, we can say that animator carries three huge heads in weight indeed. In spite of that you will notice how easy he moves, runs, dances when you watch the video.

The reason of this advantage is ultra light material we use in production. Moreover, we provide extra lightness by a process eliminating all unnecessary material inside.

Light weight head is crucial for joyful, cheerful, dynamic performances on field.

impact of a huge one incomparable!

To catch sight fast in open fields!
The reason why mascot heads are preferred huge is they catch sight in broad field, from long distances, creating great impact. Having huge heads is not an issue any more by this revolutionary ultra light weight production method.
TECHNOLOGY!

technology is prerequisite of creating a distinction!

our profit returns back to our investment!

EPOXY RESIN CAST EYES

eye contact with the consumer!

eyes ! communication center of mascot!

impact of the look!
is one of the most effective issue in communication. Even in our life it is a fact, it is the same for a character having all attracted attention of audience! Consumers look at it's face first, and especially to eyes.
Dull, faded, fake eyes has no impact on memories! And the ones so glaring, bright ones are never forgotten!

to retain glaring looks in memories !

Three days for just a couple eyes!
We spend three days to produce eyes. Because epoxy resin is a chemical that takes so much time. It has three layers giving the depth in look. But it's literally worth of this intricate work!
DEPTH IN THREE DIM TEETH

teeth to teeth!

a great effort for a small teeth.

Briefly...
First model is constructed for 3D teeth.
Second step is shaping a hard mould of this model on CNC .
The mould is cleaned up.
used in vacuum press operation to get a plastic product of this shape
cutting out and adoptation phase follows !
Teeth of a mascot takes almost two days to finish, but the bright result deserves every hour of it.

teeth brands the quality of your brand!

BECAUSE OF ELABORATENESS

time to make up and delicacy!

To dazzle !
There are rights and wrongs in mascot production. But dazzling is not because of only mastery of a well produced mascot, moreover requires an artistic vision and touch. Therefore we consider a creative mascot producer as an artist too.

soft transitions in artistic coloring.

Here
dose
is crucial!

Elegancy of the whole
is determined by details!

elegant design of eye lashes for an impressive look!

Laser cut
As we have nothing standardized, we stick the design of eye lashes as essential complimentary part of looks
sharpness, twist of lashes, angles are important.
artwork
ANIMATRONICS

we have that sharp eye!

momy, that mascot winked at me!

Engineering and team work
It creates great impact makes a mascot character alive moving eyes side ways, blinking eye lids, waving tail or ears, lifting eye brows.
Thisi is the most special, time consuming part that requires the greatest effort.
it is precisely designed to fit inside of the head. all parts of this delicate electro mechanical instrument are elaborately designed and simulated on computer before it is produced, tested and assambled. each mechanism has to be designed and adopted individually to fit each different character head design.
FLEXIBILITY OF MOVEMENT

performance depends on comfort!

Actioon!
As character mascots are widespread all over the world, a high performance is expected as well.
they attract as attention of audience as they stay on the field, retain impact in memories. These mascot characters of ours are in competition with each other, on the stage, rocking and rolling, runnign and sporting.
to provid this dynamism mascots must have the right combination of materials and production technics.
An ultra light head, aergonomic body, flexible, durable shoes, and a broad sight of vision is a must!

preparing them to the field is also our business!

3 of the most important issues!
1. sight of vision
2. eargonomic body
3. comfortable shoes
SHOE

shoes are doping of a mascot costume!

special design shoes to each mascot!

Nothing is by heart, no standard moulds!
As each character has a unique visage, they have unique feet or shoes too.
We design them on computer and produce on CNC top to bottom.

light weight like a bird, flexible as well!

and it wraps the foot!
Because we ask the shoe size of animators and produce that perfectly fits their foot.

Now ! who cares the difficulties on field!

CHARACTER DESIGN

character comes first!

one that will represent the brand!

You are in search of a brand new character.
one thet can represent your brand, maybe a group of products, or maybe your service.
You are not certain about whether it should be an animal, or a human or a fantastic being.

Then, it is a good idea to consider qualifications of your brand.
Upon getting a brief from you, we build a proposal inspecting characteristics of the brand.
Muflon on the image, is a character we designed for Lefke European University.
They use their character much more than they expected because they get a comfort and functionality beyond their expectation.

There are certain issues in production of a mascot costume.
  • Uniqueness (remainding no other one)
  • Stick in the mind (increase brand awareness)
  • Distinctivity (bearing details that will catch eyes in crowd)
  • Effectiveness (whatever the mission is)
We highly recommend you paying attention to these issues, whether you prefer us or a free lance artist in character design process.
Since a long time, international world wide brands highly considers these issues in character design to properly adopt to mascot production to gain dynamic performance on fields.

OZAN KOTOĞLU
Production Manager
Graduated from Industrial Design Department of Mimar Sinan University Fine Arts Faculty. 
While he has been involved in a team designing and producing military drones he has found himsels in mascot production business. He not only has a dazzling talent in high tech design but also an incredable potential to transform these projects into perfectly working machines in real life. He is more than a mere industrial designer or engineer he is also a crazy dreamer with his bizzare proposals as solutions to problems. We owe to his talent line of all electro mechanical devices in our factory including Cnc Machine, vacuum press machine, 3D printer, foam casting system, laser cut system and many more. He knows everything except the money in his pocket. He has tolerance to anything but can be easily driven mad by lack of information and intelligence below average. It has never been possible to make him produce anything twice. that makes him change from Dr Jakyll to Mr Hyde. . 
Crazy inventor of Maskot !

first comes character!

our utmost priority is not materials, neither summit, not success. 
Our motto ‘first comes character’, not only for mascot production, 
it is a reference for our basic point of view in life. 
Our crew is deeply aware of that; what they produce is not a toy, representative of a brand. 
what they craft is not an eye, but a look that will take place in a kids memories. 
not mouth or lips, but a smile and expression. 
every detail is articulated with great care, elaborated with that feeling. 
to focus and love what you do is inseparable part of having a strong character . 
Being part of the same team, we share this feeling mutually.
