About Mert Barut

2015 – 2020

Advertising Student

Anadolu University

I was always a little too creative for the target audience. Too much, honestly. I'd rather enter an advertising competition than sit through a lecture, so that's where my university years went: chasing briefs, not attendance.

2021 – 2023

Compositing Artist

Imaj Post Production

Early DALL·E, Photoshop's first generative fill, After Effects' auto roto. I always reached for whatever came next, and from day one I tried to sneak AI into every job: a little extra spice on top of the craft.

Freelance

Confidence earned, I rode out to war as a freelance knight. My swords: the Boris FX Suite, SynthEyes and PFTrack for camera tracking, Mocha Pro, Flame, Nuke, After Effects and EmberGen. Every shot got the blade it needed.

Zero Density

Time to feel the future. In live broadcast I packed Unreal Engine, Gaussian splats and code into my kit, wrote that code with Claude Code and Codex, and added a few futuristic architecture ideas shaped with AI.
