Exploring real-time rendering and hybrid workflows, mixing real performances with VP & Gen AI. I.e. live key using UE5's Composure, feeding FreeD tracking data from a cinematic robot directly via LiveLink, using Beeble Plugin for advanced AI integrations, utiling Metahumans for highly realistic digital stand-ins, and simulating more that 1000 independent DMX light fixtures inside Unreal Engine.

Possibly the first AI avatar video campaign created in Finland. Follow up to an innovation voucher project w/ Toastr AI. As the DoP for this production, we captured high-quality reference footage that was later used to train and synthesize the AI avatar with Heygen and ElevenLabs.

Beyond technical producing, I have a strong background in traditional filmmaking. I served as the director, videographer, and editor for the weekly YouTube series "Pilalla" for YLE Kioski, as well as a short form series "Leaving my Legacy" as the producer, director and editor.

I have specialized extensively in 360° videography, focusing on creating truly immersive spatial experiences. Selected highlights include filming for Luovat huoneet -documentaries for Yle Kulttuuricocktail and directing the "Mikko Joensuu - Drop me Down" 360° music video for Yle Musiikki.

As Chief Technology Officer and Media Facilitator for Gutsy Go, I played a key role in scaling the organization's youth action week from a 10-team pilots to 100-team simultaneous operation. My responsibilities included managing the technical infrastructure and providing crucial support and architecture for our custom online video editing and collaboration platform.

"Passing Perspective" is a lens-based art project that explores the intersection of human memory and machine learning. By combining traditional photography with custom AI training. I used my personal Instagram photo archive spanning from 2014 to 2020 via to train a neural network with StyleGAN 2. Results are surreal landscapes and other snapshots that exist only in the latent space of the neural network.

Stanley's Finest started as a joke and it's paying homage to the original snake oil salesman Clark Stanley. Basically a login page to my own genAI infrastructure (OpenWebUI & n8n using APIs of choice), running on a cheap Hetzner VPS.
