Friday Evening at Kirsikkapuisto

I almost got lost when I tried to get to Kirsikkapuisto. I didn't know where it was. I relied on map application which took me almost kilometer from the actual place and made me walk few kilometers extra to get there. Luckily I went to right direction when I walk back and found what I was looking for. I planned to go there this year but couldn't for reasons I don't remember. There was party during weekend which I wanted to shoot. Maybe next year.

Today I would cut this shorter but maybe slower phase suits the mood of the time and place. I would change few thing when shooting also. It was my first time with new lens, camera and ND filters which shows. You could say the look was artistic choice but I didn't know what I was doing. Despite technical problems I like the shots I got here.

Spring Day by Sea

This video has few things I would have cut from if I edited it right now. 13th Doctor video is closer how I would do this today. It was shot same place and had almost same equipment. Not exactly the same but I could have done this similarly. It shows how much I have learned. I am not saying this isn't worth watching. This is just different and I would do this differently now.

This video was first shot using monopod and DJI Osmo. After this I had long break in using Osmo. I started to use it more later. I wasn't too happy with it on this video. Later I learned to use it and it became part of my standard set for a while until I started to use gimbals with proper cameras.

Return of Fun with Lifeforms: Double Helix Oscillator

I made another synth video. I will probably make more of these than I said in last video. These seem to get more views than other videos and they are quite easy to make.

This time I use other half of my Lifeforms modular. All sounds come from Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms Double Helix Oscillator. I use mixer of SV-1 to mix different waveforms of Double Helix

Winter Day by Sea

This is my video first shot using log profile. Log profiles are meant for professional. They look awful without color grading but they have more dynamic range which makes them better for color grading. I bought Sony RX10 II to be my first K4 camera. This video wasn't shot with 4K. I started to shoot 4K later.

Those trees you see at the beginning were cut down couple weeks ago. I didn't know they will be cut before they were cut. It was due tree disease which they try to prevent spreading to other parks. If I know they were to be cut I would have made before and after video. I have lot of before footage from Tokoinranta this video included. I might still do the video if I shoot after footage.

Lux Helsinki 2016

I would be lying if I said I planned the video to look like this. I didn't know how one setting on camera worked when I shot this. It looked good enough to be published. It might look like it is planned but it wasn't. I will be doing video using same technique in near future. That time style will be planned.

Lux is my favorite event to shoot. There is always something cool looking and light installations tend to be close each others. Lux 2016 was plagued with cold weather. This video was shot last day of Lux. It wasn't much warmer than previous day but I couldn't wait any longer.

Autumn 2015

I will be publishing selected older videos to get some content to this site. If I remember correctly this was first video I shot outdoors. Original plan was to do something like videos I started to make last summer. The plan didn't work as well as I hoped. I had GoPro in my head shooting time lapse. It didn't give usable video. Time lapse was meant to show me moving from one place to another and shooting these videos. I also talked to camera but it wasn't usable either.

Video turned out to be ok. It took months to publish. I almost forgot I had this footage when original plan didn't work. This gave me idea to make this kind of short movies. Later these evolved into what I am doing now.
