Cokau Lab believes on the fusion of editing, motion design and sound design. The Lab is always experimenting, trying to deliver the best and the unexpected to its clients.
Andrew Proctor
When asked, Andrew would say, "I'm a picture maker". An answer as clear and direct as his own professional trajectory. An artist at an early age, the medium has been his only reform. Receiving his Honors BA in Fine Arts from Nottingham University in England, his first two years were spent developing his craft as an abstract oil painter before transitioning into digital design and animation.
Having drooled over films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien and Star Wars, it was only a matter of time before he connected the dots between his education and his true passion. Upon graduating, Andrew moved to London to start his first job at The Mill. Andrew swiftly moved up The Mill ranks receiving many awards along the way including the prestigious BTA: Best new animator Award and the First Boards Award for animation. Initially earning his stripes as a lead CG artist specializing in lighting and rendering and visual effects supervision, Andrew played a huge hand in award winning spots like Coke "It's Mine," Honda "Cog," Barclaycard "Rollercoaster" and Ford "Puppets."
From London to NYC and now LA, Andrew has been a force in the industry for some time. Evolving alongside its early champions, The Mill has since opened its very own production company, Mill+, where Andrew has been a premier director for the past 3 years. Rising up out of the visual effects industry, Andrew offers a new perspective and unique skill-set rarely honed by traditionally trained directors. Not only can he capture worlds through the lens, he can build them. Directing title sequences, music videos and commercials for huge brands like Pepsi, Adidas and Nintendo it's only a matter of time before he can add features to his growing reel.

Solve Sundsbo
Norwegian fashion photographer and filmmaker Sølve Sundsbø infuses his imagery with sharp, otherworldly concepts and experimental techniques, including x-rays, 3-D printing, and pyrotechnic and smoke effects. He arrived in London in 1995 to pursue a short course in photography at the London College of Printing and became a photography assistant for acclaimed experimental imagemaker Nick Knight .
That pivotal role and Knight’s mentorship, which spanned four years, helped Sundsbø become a highly decorated fashion photographer in his own right. Voted best newcomer at the International Festival of Fashion in Hyeres, France, in 1999, his editorials have also featured in publications like Love magazine, i-D, Vogue China, Interview, Numéro, and Dazed & Confused. His advertising campaign clients include Gucci, Chanel, Hermès, H&M, and Yves Saint Laurent .
He has also branched out into filmmaking, having directed short films for Nike, SHOWstudio, and Alexander McQueen, notably setting model Eva Herzigova on fire for the Florence Biennale. Although his works appear digitally altered, owing to the frequent use of trompe l’oeil and dramatic colouring through manipulation light, movement, and water, Sundsbø is actually employs many “old-fashioned techniques” and prefers considered snaps to a ‘shoot now, fix later’ mentality.
