In the chat Özdamar shares how he got his start working on commercials, then branched off to publish his own work on YouTube - receiving more than four billion views for his funny stop motion videos for kids. Tune in to Özdamar, Çaydere, and Ibele to hear: *How Özdamar has animated over 6,000 minutes of stop motion animation *How much money Özdamar was making from YouTube on a monthly basis *The next big project Özdamar is working on.
