Prototype 2

Hope y'all had a great Christmas break. Back to the cutting table for us. Don't want to give to much away, but here a sneak of Henry sporting our prototype 2 Armour. Far from finished.

Edges of the Void

December is here, and in true Sakowski fashion our productions are getting underway. The edges of the image are beginning to appear that is "The Black Raven". Our workshop is set up and in full gear. First up some prototyping is required led by Art Department maestro Henry Aitken assisted by Mike Morgan.
In our free time we like to practice flying our newly acquired drones. These things are super fun to fly, once you figure out how to fly them.... Few tumbles along the way but they are proving to hold up to their high quality "made in china" tag. We are doing everything in our power to make sure they make it to the shoot ;) We are looking for pilots to learn to fly these as ill be behind the camera.
Finding the right location can be a tricky thing, but in this case we hit the jackpot.  Thanks to some tips from Craig Gainsborough from Doog Productions, we found our post apocalyptic overgrown carnage at the old burnt down freezing works Southdown.......Directors wet dream!
I knew we had found our location as soon as we drove into the driveway. Seeing locations for the first time opens up a world of ideas, and they flooded in while walking around southdown. I could of spent the whole day there just taking photos. Now to figure out how to light this baby and complete the story boards.
We are well on our way into the void and its going to start filling up fast. We are still looking for people interested in helping out so drop us a line at our facebook or website if you would like to be part of this production.

The Black Raven

OK time to get serious and start posting some tastes of what's to come. State of Mind and Sakowski and collaborating on a new project "The Black Raven". It's not really a music video, it's not really a short film, its a manifestation of colliding ideas. As much as I'd like to give everything away in one go, I think im'a drag this one out. Over the next couple months keep your eyes peeled for more drawings, fabrications, photos, triumphs and failures as we embark on creating a world of ideas.

I like to work with concepts throughout longer periods of time rather than in one focused moment, but eventually those ideas manifest and something is pulled out of a blank space. These designs are part of a much larger universe, State of Mind produced an amazing track that resonated with the style and look of this concept so we are working on fusing the concepts together, to practice for the future ;) So to start here is the coffee table sketch of some Federation Armour.... off course written on the back of my list of things to do.

Tank Animal

Have been doing some research on costume design recently. We have a new music video coming up which will require some pro art department costumes. Wondering how to fit a human into my "Tank Animal" ;) Wishing I had Stan Winston's resources at my disposal. Stay Tuned for concept art.
