Lighthouse – digital special effects in film
Interpret

The Lighthouse short–film is the result of a course called Special effects in movies, held in 2004 at the School of Film, Television and Production Design in the University of Art and Design Helsinki. I was in charge of designing and executing the digital effects for the film.
This artistic segment of my diploma work is a part of the development work of digital production design going on in the Department of Production Design. It is the first compositing project carried out in the University of Art and Design Helsinki, where material shot on film has been used and working with digital effects using film resolution has been researched.

Biography

In addition to designing and producing virtual sets for film and television, I have also done animations as well as video and advertising graphics. Apart from film and television, I am also interested in the visual design of computer games and other New Media.
