3DTotal : So do you spend a lot of time in the concept stages of your creations?
Adel : The idea of a concept may pop out of your mind in a second but sometimes it takes days to reach what you want and in this case it becomes kind of disappointing. But if you get the result soon it will be motivating and you’ll really enjoy starting the work.

3DTotal : How do you relax on your days off from being the Managing Director for your company, Tarahan?
Adel : Nowadays I am trying to focus on my freelancing more and I don’t want to involve myself in managing the company, because it mostly deals with graphics. Also I am in the process of starting an animation studio (Leda Studio). To tell you the truth everyday is both a holiday and a working day for me, because I enjoy my work. I am either working on my contracts or my own projects. I also enjoy being with my family more nowadays.

  
3DTotal : It sounds like you have a good working environment, how big is your company?
Adel : With the new technology and easy correspondence, today’s companies can be as big as the whole world. Now I’m working with a few artists around me and also I’m in touch with some artists from other countries.

3DTotal : So do you have anything planned like a short movie for example, when you finally get Leda Studio off the ground?
Adel : Yes, a good demo reel can be a portfolio for the studio. I have plans on working on the Rostam (a hero in ancient Persia), or a story based on Star Olympics.
    
   

3DTotal : How do you feel about the importance of forums are to any aspiring artist out there?
Adel : Good forums are a suitable place for sharing our ideas and if somebody is in trouble, they can get hints from other artists’ comments.
 
3DTotal : Well it has been a pleasure talking with you, and I wish you all the best. One last thing before we finish. Could you tell us one thing that we would learn from you, if we where to hang around with you for a whole day?
Adel : Once again thank you for doing the interview. If I want to say something as a freelancer, I would say: be patient and keep your clients satisfied. But some advice for those who want to be a good artist is to have a strong imagination. When working, try to provide the same condition as the theme of the project for yourself to feel the mood of it because you have to work with all your heart; a good work needs all your feelings and emotions.
