Lau Nau: Kuoleman tappajan kuolema

Kuoleman tappajan kuolema was relatively ambitious project taken into account I had very little budget for it. First idea that came to my head months ago was to bury Laura in the ground. I began the project by writing the script based on that simple idea.

Seremonia: Rock'n'Rollin Maailma

Seremonia: Rock'n'Rollin Maailma

This is probably the most fun I’ve had on a shoot ever! Everyone had a hard time keeping their poker at all times of the day. So what you see is the footage between the smirks and the laughter we managed… We wrote the script with Ville in just a few hours. Let’s face it, it’s a pretty easy subject to write about! The shoot took us about nine hours, the edit one and a half days. So it was about a two day project in total.

The Big Crunch

The Big Crunch

The Big Crunch is a video installation that presents images to the viewer that communicate the presence of humans on earth, evolution and human intelligence. All images are carefully composited according to the divine proportions. We see images poetically and metaphorically representing the beginning of mathematical innovations to the projected end of the world, the big crunch. Our observations and our learning shape the universe into being, time is a creation of our minds, laws are generated by our thoughts and conclusions.

Barry Andrewsin Disko: Talitintti

We had a very small crew for this video. Here’s a good hint, if you’re shooting in front of suburbian drug store with masked men, realistic looking guns and wads of cash you should definitely call the emergency services and let them know about it. They’ll be very pleased and actually it is common practice.

The multicoloured dotted record is on the turntable and spins, the handheld stroboscope emits its flashes of light.
