Nikolai Kotowski (Director & Visual Engineer)
Kotowskifilms is the brainchild of director Nikolai Kotowski.
His mission? To make tabletop commercials more efficient—without losing the WTF?!”.
It all started with a simple question:
What if one person could pull off complex tabletop effects—alone? What would it take?
The answer: a fully equipped studio, clever workflows, motion control robots, and a healthy dose of obsession.
Today, Kotowskifilms delivers high-end results with lean teams and smart setups.

Yes—he actually cooks like a chef, too. 😄
