Eleanoora Rosenholm: Valo kaasumeren hämärässä

Published March 16, 2011 in Films.
Eleanoora Rosenholm are releasing a new album and we did the first music video for it. For this shoot I was mainly inspired by posters and DVD covers. There's things you just can't do when shooting horizontally. Sometimes I even prefer to shoot 3:4 aspect ratio because of this and I think it worked well for the shots where you see Eleanoora looking down or up, waving her hands high in a prayer and reaching for the sky. Also the upward shooting airplanes are a particular favourite of mine.

Disco Ensemble: Protector

Published May 17, 2010 in Films.

For the second music video to be made off the new Disco Ensemble album the band asked once again a bunch of directors to submit scripts and ideas. I was pretty excited to hear that they liked my script enough to go ahead and shoot it. It was gonna be a big project that would require a lot of planning and preparation.

Disco Ensemble: White Flag For Peace

Published March 14, 2010 in Films.
I got a call from Jussi / Disco Ensemble that they have an idea for a music video and would need someone to shoot it. Only problem was that the video would need to be shot next week. So not much time to plan it. We decided that instead of making it a huge production, renting cameras and tons of equipment we'd do it with a minimal set-up and shoot it with my Panasonic GH1 DSLR...
