Short film for Finnish Catwalk
I did direct a quick short film that was played as opening for a fashion show here in Helsinki. Zero Budget, 4 hours of fun in the forest and few hours of editing. Simple, effective and we gained very good feedback on this. Have a look.

Digitytöt Making Waves
Digitytöt are one of CityVice’s projects, in which we take care of the video production. You all know Diggnation? We’re creating our own except that it’s pink and pretty. Helene Auramo, CEO of Zipipop, and her friend Sanna are Digitytöt (tranlates into Digitalgirls from Finnish).
It’s going to be lots of pink, giggling, partying and some interviews with the local start-up stars. We are already being featured in ArcticStartup, Digitoday and some blogs such as Tuhat Sanaa and Maurelita’s. Good times!

Crossover of Senses to Helsinki?
I graduaded from LSBU Arts Management course on 2006, which is one of the best arts courses in Europe (officially rated). Arts Management students from London South Bank University (LSBU) have been presenting high quality, innovative events for the last ten years. Featuring a wide and diverse programme and benefiting from a skilful group of tutors, the Art Management events have received high acclaim from artists and audience members, as well as professionals in the industry.
Given this strength of quality and reputation, people are often surprised to learn that the events are an entirely non-profit operation. But it’s true. Each member of the group contributes his or her talents entirely out of personal passion and out of the desire to enrich the cultural terrain of the community.
Some videos in my portfolio
Now to continue the heritage and a project that was running 2007-2008 Crossover of Senses, I am thinking of bringing it to Helsinki as well. The idea is simply to mash up two different disciplines together. Do you have any ideas which to mash up?

Brain Hacking
I guess these projects in advertising were inevitable. In a blog run by Taneli Tikka, he explains geniously the way to “hack you brain”. Or more perhaps way to fuck up the way brain functions and operates the evolved and learned patterns of understanding the world around. Read the blog post for the explanation.
I wonder how many examples of such there is in the arts? What kind of experiments? There are many I know, most well known maybe Dali using this hacking of brains idea.

ReCharge Film
The last two months I have been working maybe the most ambitious project so far, in collaboration with Ed “Fat Butcher” Firth . It started as a commissioned work and today is evolving into a 30 minute abstract film with voiceover and a storyline. Project kicked off with a simple script about charging yourself through the 5 senses of Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Tasting and Touching. Using these you will be able to reach the sixth plane. Later on there has been some philosophical aspect that I’ve been trying to include.
Anyhoo, graphics and the visuals are done, next we are taking on the voiceover and such development. I Idea is to take it galleries and live music shows. So see ya there. Some screen crabs below.

Crossover of Senses V @ MoS
The fifth and final instalment of Crossover of Senses series is done. This marks the end of a 5 month project to create visuals at Ministry of Sound in 2007. We are discussing of the next year and seems that its going to happen. Overall the feedback has been very positive.
The November night was also 16th Birthday party for Ministry of sound, and you might guess the place was packed. I was VJing alone for the whole 7 hours. Can say that is heavy man…Glad that I had my love and live, the beautiful Jade next to me.

Crossover of Senses IV @ MoS
The fourth instalment of Crossover of Senses series is done. We experienced some problems with the staging and ended up changing the rigging to face the balcony with 3 canvases. Did work well, so will stage the last one with the same design.
For the October night we had VJ Shakinda all the way from Belfast. Just week before his visuals were displayed at Gallery Yurijo and this time we had the pleasure to enjoy them with the best club sounds in the world. He is very much on the beat and takes ques live. Shakinda’s technical knowledge was amazing, so all thumbs up for him. Though he had some rather raw violence pieces and some preaching which I personally think do not fit a club environment. Myself, I tried to be influenced on what he did and followed the line being very on the beat. Did ok.
