Ravens At Odds

Ravens At Odds Ravens At Odds specialises in film, photography & branding for the architecture & creative industries

We tell stories about architecture, people and place

Led by filmmaker and producer Nikolas Strugar, Ravens At Odds works extensively within the architecture and creative industries; telling stories through film, photography, graphic design, web development and brand strategy. We aim to work with practices and people who through their work:
– Make meaningful contribution to one or many forms of su

stainability; ecological, cultural, social, economic;
– Are engaged with the issues of housing affordability, housing diversity, or homelessness;
– Who seek to tell meaningful stories in a way that is honest and authentic;
– In an aesthetic that responds to the nature and context of each individual project, rather than commercial trends or hype

About Nikolas Strugar
My career began in architecture, before a shift into film production. It’s with intimate knowledge and understanding of architecture that I approach filmmaking, and draw upon a visual language that relates to the project. I’ve developed aesthetic sensibilities and compositional skill in several design and production fields. With this range of professional skills, Ravens At Odds has the necessary experience to produce bespoke creative solutions for your project.

Some thoughts and observations from Innsbruck, Austria 🇦🇹

There is beauty in art, architecture and the things we create, but we're humbled by the natural world

Building scale and planting is crucial to the structure and experience of streets and squares

Many streets and footpaths aren't delineated by curbs. The onus is on all vehicles and pedestrians to keep safe

Service in cafes and restaurants is slow, but you're also allowed to take your time. I sat for hours reading or just taking in the surroundings despite only drinking a single coffee or beer. There's no rush nor is there any obligation to consume more

Old buildings are old. New buildings are new. There's no confusing archeologists

A big part of the European experience is people, not aesthetics. Public spaces are for everyone. Young, old, poor, rich, people from all nations and walks of life

Travel with a book it'll strike up so many conversations with strangers. Likewise caring a cages and tripod around. You'll be everyone's holiday photographer ☺️

Note to self: Don't shy away from colour

Gelato on the steps of a statue is a good idea

As is getting out in nature

When Dylan McPherson approached us wanting video and photo content, we suggested taking a step back to look at his overall brand strategy.

His business had a good reputation and beautifully executed work, but his website didn't communicate what made him different from other builders in the region. The messaging was buried in dense text with no hierarchy. 

We started with client interviews to understand who he’s talking to, built detailed personas of his ideal architects and clients, then developed a visual identity and messaging framework that reflected how he actually works.

The result is a brand that speaks directly to homeowners and architects interested in design-focused projects. Dylan now actively uses his site in conversations because it represents his approach and filters for clients who are the right fit.

Just putting this here for all the videographers who are asking about my slider setup. I've changed from a tripod to the Kupo stand as it allows much easier height adjustment and not that much more weight gain

Most architects and builders in the high-end residential space do great work. But their messaging tends to blend in. Quality workmanship. Attention to detail. Committed to excellence.

None of it’s untrue. It just doesn’t tell anyone why they should pick you over the next practice or builder.

McPherson Constructions had this exact problem. Great reputation, solid work, but the old website buried the message in text no one was reading. Good work needs a clear story to back it up.

I went into more detail on the brand work and content we did for McPherson Constructions in a recent blog post (link in bio)

Documenting houses and the surrounds for a client in the Northern Rivers of NSW

They watched the process unfold, the time, care and attention that goes into every shot

I’ve embraced using AI to help streamline my systems and workflows. But of course there’ll be some forms of photography and video production that it may replace completely.

Framing the shot, finessing the composition, styling the scene, collaborating and sharing the excitement of creating images together
