Räjäyttäjät: Aamupalalle pommiin
Räjäyttäjät music video. Shot in one take last winter with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera in raw mode.
Barry Andrewsin Disko: Yksinkertainen mies
Barry Andrewsin Disko makes interesting music because it’s very playful yet melancholic at the same time. It is very inspiring to create images to. I wanted to write a story for this music video and I feel that for maybe the very first time I’ve managed to extract all the images I had in my head into the video.
Risto: Turvaluola
Risto: Turvaluola music video from the new album II. The idea spun from a suggestion by Risto. He wished he wouldn’t have to be in it.
Death Hawks: Black Acid
Death Hawks: Black Acid music video is my first work shooting on film since 2006. The band wanted something “out of this world” and psychedelic. So this is my interpretation of that request!
Ignatz: Abandon the Night
Ignatz music video from the new album Can I Go Home Now?

Lau Nau: Valolle
This is a second video made to promote Lau Nau’s new album Valohiukkanen. The idea was to go out on the lake with a smoke machine and capture something that had very little color information.
Record Store Day commercials
I was commissioned by Music Finland to do a series of short online spots to promote their upcoming 10″ compilation vinyl. It’s released on Record Store Day on 19th April 2013 and features tracks by six bands: Phantom, Husky Rescue, Millennium, Sin Cos Tan, K-X-P and LCMDF.

Ville Pirinen is a hard rocking visual arts freelancer and a musician living in Tampere, Finland. He plays in a multitude of bands including Black Audio, Seremonia, Steel Mammoth and draws and writes comics such as “Ornette Birks Makkonen” and “Yhesti yhes paikas”.
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 begun the project by writing the script based on that simple idea.
Uusi Mustamakkara
Chef santeri and Anna-Liisa Nikus have just published a cook book on how to prepare black sausage in several ways. I was hired to shoot a short web commercial for it. I was very excited to get to work with the legendary M.A. Numminen on this video. Chef Santeri aka. DJ Sane and Numminen rehashed an old legendary Numminen track Dägädägä for this ad.
Seremonia: Uhrijuhla
Second video I shot for Seremonia from their newly released self titled album. This was a quick shot in between two longer more story driven music videos. First one was Rock ‘n’ rollin maailma that begins the story. Hopefully we get to shooting the third one some time this year.
Tuusanuuskat: Kukkien Guantanamo Bay
Music video for Tuusanuuskat shot on iPhone 8mm app.
Goodiepal – A Day in the Mouth episode 5
Goodiepal or Gæoudjiparl van den Dobbelsteen, whose real name is Parl Kristian Bjørn Vester, is a controversial Danish/Faroese musician/composer. The eccentric and self-made Goodiepal has influenced the course of modern music through radical excursions into computer technology and media art.
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.
Seremonia: Rock ‘n’ rollin maailma
This is propably 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 about a two day project in total.
Steel Mammoth: Nightmare Ad Nauseam
