The artist M (or Ämmä amongst friends) is adventurous enough to go along with my crazy ideas. Minja Koski originally asked if I wanted to be the cinematographer for the music video for Jos tulen takaisin. But as the shooting deadline approached and we didn’t have a clear plan I started to propose ideas that eventually took over. Basically I hijacked the song.
The release of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K’s was highly anticipated. Blackmagic announced the camera in April 2018 and I got mine exactly a year later in April 2019. I still use it as my main camera in 2023 and I believe it’s still the best bang for you buck in it’s class! This […]
Music video for Pelle Romantika & Kuolema-Duo that combines the doom like drones of Kuolema-Duo and spoken word poetry of Pelle Romantika.
Masterclass review – The Masterclass online courses are heavily advertised in Facebook and I’m betting there’s a lot of people subscribing to them.

Death Hawks’ new song Atitlán from their fourth full length album is my third video for the band. Teemu Markkula and myself cooked up the idea on what the video should include in terms of looks and story.
This video is a homage to staying at home and reading a book, listening to music or watching a movie. It’s our third video together with Islaja.
