Teaser cut from the material I shooted at TaigaMetsä camp in july 2010. The camp was organized by Kaleva Youth Association to celebrate their 50th anniversary. I worked for them for a year as a media producer.
The related videos take you to a video series called TaigaStudio, which I also shot and edited.
Teatterilaiva is a yearly theater festival and it’s held on a cruise ship that sails between Finland and Sweden. The festival is for friends of theater, theater professionals and groups a possibility to perform and hang out with colleagues and like minded people.
I was the official photographer of the festival of 2010. Link to the complete gallery. The editing and post-processing of the images was done by the organizers.
The workshop was held for theaters’ staff and lasted two hours. The workshop was organized as a part of Teatterilaiva theater festival.
By lightly discussing about the general principles of sound design the attention was drawn to available technology and digital sound processing. Sounds and soundscapes were created by using generally available free software and sound libraries. The workshop provided to be a source of interesting ideas for coming shows.
I’m building a multi-user WordPress environment. The users are divided in groups with certain privileges. The privileges mostly concerns the backend, or the dashboard of WordPress. The purpose is to restrict the users’ ability to edit certain pages.
It’s straightforward to control user’s abilities with a role and capability plugin like Members. It’s not possible to control the user’s abilities in the dashboard with Members however. In that case it’s useful to create specific filters for the groups which show just the pages a group can edit.
The piece was created for a promotional video, which I also sound designed. The video promotes a wooden stair design and construction company. For this reason I chose wooden instruments for the melody.
