Steven Wilson – Transience

6 February 2016

Hello, fellow Blogreaders!
In last December, after I found out that on his new tour Steven Wilson will be playing Transcience (the only song from the H.C.E. album that wasn’t being played in 2015), partly because I wanted to prepare something that would be entirely mine, and partly because I just felt that I had to (this is one of my favourite tracks from the album), I decided to create a video with Karolina ‘Carrie’ Grzybowska that would complement the concerts visualizations. I am the one responsible for the idea, shooting, directing and editing, and the main character was played by sterling Karolina. For the reasons that were not dependent on us, the material will not be among the official visualizations on 2016 tour, however, Steven didn’t mind us publishing it as an unofficial music video. Feel free to watch our material, and to read more about the H.C.E. visualizations here and here. I can now officially tell you that Carrie and I are working on two more video projects – but for now I’ll let the fact whom they are for remain a mistery.

Jędrzej Wróblewski – Masseur Promo Video

16 December 2015

Hello, fellow Blogreaders!
Today a quick post and a bunch of photos from my last video realization. Our goal was to present a massage service in an original way. The masseur was super talented Jędrzej Wróblewski. Our studio was the basement of the Gaja hostel in Poznań, and the scenography was prepared by Jędrzej alone. The people who were being massaged were Monika and Julek – very positive guys. The video, photos and lighting description below – hope you enjoy it!

Butterfly Effect

7 April 2015

Hello fellow Blogreaders!
Today I’m going to show you a project that I started in August 2014, and finished just now, in March 2015. A part of the photos was taken during my previous meeting with Magda Zawada. Then I got the idea of putting these few experimental frames together into a short story, and this is how ‘the butterfly effect’ was born. We were missing three frames to complete the story, and we took them a few days ago in a completely different location. The most interesting aspect of the whole undertaking is its minimalism. The model was covered with a cheap plastic film, and then I reached the cocoon effect by a creative use of the liquify filter, which has been in Photoshop since forever. The lighting was one small system flash with radio trigger on a light stand, placed between the model and the background. You can see the whole postproduction process on the video.
Hope you enjoy it.

Silence, darkness. Delicate air movement, and rough sound wave breaking the biting cold of the cave…

Hand. Cannot. Erase. part.I

26 March 2015

Hello fellow Blogreaders!
This is the first post concerning my newest project, one of the biggest projects I’ve ever realized. Since August 2014 I’ve been hard working as a part of a team responsible for the visual side of the new Steven Wilson’s solo album ‘Hand. Cannot. Erase.’. But first, a few words of inroduction. The album was inspired by a real history of a young woman named Joyce Carol Vincent, who, despite living a perfectly normal life, having social relations and a steady job, by her own choice decides to break off contacts with everyone. As a result of doing so, for 3 years nobody noticed that she died from asthma attack, left alone in her apartment…

Hello fellow Blogreaders!
It’s been said many times and in many ways that we learn on our mistakes, but it doesn’t change the fact that, despite having quite decent experience, I still can mess something up like a total newbie. Luckily, at times like this the rescue comes with one and only Photoshop, which allows you to fix many (or even all! 🙂 ) mistakes, although it might be a real fight that takes hours.I usually try to show you only the most interesting of m projects, and I boast only about the fact that everything went according to plan and turned out amazing, but this time it was different…

Gone Girl

9 January 2015

Hello fellow Blogreaders!
Today’s post has a few purposes. First, cheering up. I’ve dug a session that I made back in August, and with the current weather there’s nothing better than a memory of Summer. Second, a side effect of this session is a video that I shot rather casually, and after long enough time spent on my drive, the material finally turned into one video. Third, and the most important – I shared this photoshoot with an amazingly talented person – Ania Borowa. She is known for creating surrealistic graphics that use photography only as a base – make sure to check out the rest of her work!
