Don't f*ck with Pikkis
Don’t F*ck With Pikkis short film, and me doing all kinds of camera tech stuff as 1st AC again. Mostly shot handheld, the fast-paced film really pushed my focus-pulling skills to the limit. Challenging low light, tight depth of field, and nonstop movement made it intense—but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Fort William
Visiting the real-life filming locations in Scotland, flying a drone over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, and feeling the magic vibes in Fort William and Edinburgh was unforgettable. For anyone chasing that childhood wonder, a trip like this is pure movie magic.
Legend of the Seas
A massive glass dome was being lifted onto the 365m Legend of the Seas in Turku, Finland—one of the largest ships ever built, and we filmed it. A truly humbling shoot that felt straight out of a video game.
Tuska Festival
I stepped in as a fill-in videographer on the final day of Tuska Festival, capturing highlights and good vibes. Harsh light and no ND filters made shooting very tough, and I’m not too satesfied with the footage. Lesson learned: ND filters now packed. Big thanks for the opportunity—despite the challenge, I grew from it.
EKOspol
I headed to Sweden to create a showreel for EKOspol. We brought only lightweight gear and rented the rest of the equipment from Storyline in Stockholm. The rental process was fast and easy, and the customer support was exceptional. With great lighting, improvised shots, and a clear vision based on client references, the production went very smoothly.
Imago Production
On behalf of YLE Arena Stories, we shot the mini-series Imago. It wasn’t the easiest production, and we faced plenty of challenges along the way. Working with a tight schedule and limited budget, we pushed through and still managed to capture some really great shots.
Coffee in the Future
After winning Uneton48, we used the Angel Films prize money to shoot the upcoming short art film Three Studies in How to Drink Coffee in the Future. Filmed in a single day with a Red Gemini 5K and vintage lenses, the project achieved a raw, artistic look. As always, I'm grateful to work with this amazing team again, and a huge thanks to Angel Films, KopterCam, and Feelm Creative for their support.
Rebellix - Not Afraid
An ambitious music video production on a larger scale, we are once again collaborating with the band Rebellix to deliver a video that hits you as hard visually as the music hits your ears.
A Day With N°RRA
Together with Feelm Creative, we’re taking to the skies once again for another challenging shoot inside an airplane cabin.
The space is extremely limited, with no access to tools or other usually simple solutions. Here’s a quick break down and summary of the production.
Arcada Filmmaking
Every spring, Arcada University holds its official fictional film productions, and I participated as the 1st AC and grip for a film called "Solnedgång" and "Grip Tag om Mig". After four intensive years of studying filmmaking, this is expected to be my final school production before graduating.
Heilung
I have done some concert photography before, but never on this scale. As the performance went on, I was surprised by some critical errors on my part. However, good preparation and quick thinking helped me solve the problems. Here’s some good advice.
A Yearly Summary
Breaking down 2024, as I’m writing about what we have accomplished, achieved, learned and future insights.
Liftoff Again
We took to the skies again, this time with the heavy cavalry of cameras, thanks to a larger airplane and more space inside the cockpit and cabin.
Studio Plates
The assignment was supposed to be straightforward but turned out to be a bit more challenging than expected. We scouted for the perfect shot for a while and tried to avoid the winter scenery as much as possible. After all, this was a difficult task.
Mandys Nyckel
Being creative together with the band Mandy’s Nyckel, we filmed a showreel to engage the audience and bring them closer to the music and the wonderful people behind it. In this post, I share the process of being a one-person army in a film studio.
Beauty Shots
I spent an entire day at Fireframe Studios, one of the biggest LED panel and green screen studios in the Nordic countries.
On air In air
Yesterday, we enjoyed a few minutes of sunshine above the clouds while working on a video project. It was a great experience learning how to mount cameras inside an airplane cockpit and cabin.
Konecranes
I operated a different kind of crane at Konecranes. I have mixed feelings about it and would like to take this opportunity to share my review of the experience.
