Welcome /
Welcome to Sakowski Studios new website. A portfolio of our crew and work spanning video, design and photography. Stay tuned for more updates, photos, and work opportunities.
We would like to thank all who have helped us along the way, without your support none of these creations would have manifested. The Holofractographic journey has only just begun.
Brooke Duff - "Somthing New" video shoot /
Recently we completed a new video for Brooke Duff. Directed by Alan Morrison - Filmed at Oktober Studio, we completed 52 shots in one day and wrapped the edit in 4 days... talk about fast turn around, the pop world moves fast. Here are some stills from the shoot.
The River Jesters - "Pony" video shoot /
We flew down to Dunedin to shoot the River Jesters new (and first) video. It was one hell of a time. Horse heads, bar brawls, cow girls and more. We brought Tom and Mikes vision to life... a most uncanny vision. Thanks to INCH bar for the use of their bar and all the extras who brought their A game to the bar brawl (seems like they had some practice ;) was a great day and night.
Asia /
For the past month me, my partner and some friends took a break to asia to attend a mates wedding and explore the surroundings. we spent 2 weeks in Bali and 2 weeks in Thailand. No doubt I will be returning to this beautiful part of the world - Aleks
Alien Worlds /
A new Photographic Exhibition From Sakowski Studios
Solstate /
Over the past month we have been making some graphics for Solstates new Album. Troy came to us with very few graphical directions. We decided the main theme was the separation between light and dark. After Aleks concepted the initial idea, Samantha Haehae came in to do some texture work for us, Then end results showing above. The Album is released 11th march.
The Shoot /
So 2 weeks ago we completed the "Black Raven" shoot. And have been recovering ever since. Now on to the post-production to polish this baby up. I have no words to describe the shoot. It was something else. Here are a couple shots. we will release more in time.
6 Days /
2 months of preparation for a 2 day operation. Like a battle plan, you only have so much to work with over the 2 days. You prepare for as many scenarios as possible and execute everything to the best of your ability with the resources at hand. That is why pre-production is more important that the shoot. The better prepared you are, the smoother your shoot will go. However you never know what can happen on the day, you can only prepare for it. High concept hand made in camera productions that tell a story don't happen often, especially at our scale of production. I could not have done this without the help of some amazing individuals whose dedication and hard work has kept me going.
Federation Armour /
2nd week of 2013 and Sakowski Studios is manufacturing armour, fitting drones, building laser guns.... you know..... the usual sort of summer fan fair. Recently new import Hendrikus DeVann came all the way from New Plymouth to help us out, check his work out here www.hendrikusdevaan.com
The Cutting Table has definitely seen some millage as the team has been hard at work in between being convinced by Sakowski that hot glue is the answer to all humanities problems, (well some of them anyway). Henry Aitken our art lead recently jet set for asia, we wish him luck on his travels, it's unfortunate he's going to miss out on one bass ass production ;)
In the mean time Mike Morgan (pictured below) is stepping in. It's quite an odd thing to take something completely new and make it look old and used, so I'm trying not to work him to hard...... but what I really mean is by the time we are finished this armour will look like it's seen some battles.
