On se hienoo
A music video for GG Caravan. Directed by Jukka Salo.
The character animation for this piece is created from a fly illustration my brother Antti drew and sent to me. I then animated the fly in after effects and printed out the frames. These frames I then cut out and photographed on a green screen. The crumbling up effect was created by stop motion animating the animated fly papers to crumple up.

Heaven Or Hell
I got this gig just when I was returning from a holiday. I spent the whole trip home playing the song on a loop and feeling the visuals that it would give me. The idea I got was to visualise the DAW software: to replace each and every bar of music with a copy of the band member playing the correct part of the song.
When I presented this idea to Osmo, he had just one catch: he played most of the instruments himself. The last video we did together featured multiple copies of him! I was still so exited about the DAW idea that I did this video with my original idea anyway.
Maybe this is a trilogy? With the last video still to be made?

All By Myself
A live performance of a song by Osmo Ikonen. All video material is of the actual takes.
The story behind this video is pretty freaky. I had discovered this cool Myspace artist, Osmo Ikonen, that was on heavy rotation at our animation studio office. We had listened to his stuff for maybe a week and I suddenly got a phone call from an unknown number. To my amazement, the caller was Osmo Ikonen, asking if I would like to direct a music video for him.
Of course I did – free of charge!
I can no longer remember where I got the idea for the duplicated people from, but needless to say I am into Michel Gondry big time!

A music video for Retropop.
For the longest time I had this idea of a music video with very very small planets. I tried to shop it around for quite a while without finding a great song to make it for. Then Universal luckily had a song about small planets as well and the rest is history!

Snow
A music video for Pooma. Shot by me, my dad and brother Antti at our summer cottage during one rainy night using self-built camera wire rig and a dolly.
I actually had to shoot the cabin sections twice, because it was so dark and the image vas unusably noisy on the first go. GH5s or Alpha 7 s camera would have been a something!
