Talk:Serdar Copur
From interview 1
So, who is Serdar Copur?
Serdar is a seasoned producer whose experience in interactive entertainment and software development spans two decades. He spent the early part of his career working on the SimCity and the Sims franchises at Electronic Arts. At the turn of the new millennium, he decided to take the road less traveled and contributed to several start-up companies, producing everything from top notch internet gaming portals (Gamers.com) to interactive entertainment titles based upon film licenses (Sinbad.) More recently, he was the senior producer in charge of design for Apple Computer's Emmy Award winning professional applications division (which included Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Shake and Motion.) For the last three years, he's been producing one of the greatest MMORPG's ever created; City of Heroes.
What does he do?
Hi gang! My name is Serdar Copur and I'm the Cryptic Studios Producer on City of Heroes & City of Villains. As the Production Lead on the project, I am responsible for making sure things get done. That responsibility ranges from managing schedules and resources to providing positive leadership in day-to-day operations. Production is as much an art as it is a science. It's about setting clear expectations, predicting the future and motivating your team to get there from here. Can I be more esoteric? Perhaps...but at the end of the day, Production is about people.
