See Mawhēriki's work ↗Nova T: commissioned artwork
Painter, visual thinker and multi-disciplinary creative. His art carries the same energy as everything else he makes.
Art across the whole project
Cover art for a release, visuals for a campaign, or artwork that lives inside a film. It all comes from the same team.
THE
PROCESS.
Every project starts with a kōrero.
- 01
We get to know you.
Before we talk cameras or timelines, we want to know who you are, what you're making and why it matters. A kōrero over coffee, a call, whatever suits.
- 02
We get to know the project.
The audience, the feeling, the deadline, the budget. We dig into the detail so we understand what it actually needs, not just what it looks like on paper.
- 03
We lay it all out.
You get a clear plan and an honest quote: what it'll cost, what we'll deliver and when. No surprises halfway through.
- 04
We make it, together.
We shoot wherever the story is, then edit, record and mix in-house in our own space. Same team from the first kōrero to the final files, with you in the loop the whole way.
