Jussi Finnilä

What is it in for an editor in a motion novel?

With hundreds of raw images and some precomposites, a script version 10 (current must be something like 14) and breath taking pre-recorded and acted voice over track, the editor dives into the mudpit of sound effects and temporary music clips, locks up himself in a dungeon and puts the puzzle pieces together in order to give the story a pace and feel. It's a great opportunity and challenge to make the story alive with only still images.

Previous sinlist

Before evilness laid it's hand on Jussi's shoulder, Jussi graduated from Oulu polytechnic, made commercial video productions as director, D.O.P and editor for several years. He's been working with director Jukka before on a shortfilm called Usvapuro and Hääpäivä and on some commercial works as well. He also likes parrots and monkeys.

What does this project mean to you?

- "It's a great excuse to get days off from work. I appreciate the possibility to give my mental throwup on this project. Thesis of evil is a combination of great storytelling, pure talent, groundbreaking visual ideas and passionate urge to create something new and it gathers the people around the world together. I believe this project is already a milestone, like The Beatles or something "

Free word

In Finland we have a thing called mökkihöperö. That's what all the guys are after sitting in their red hut for months doing this. You should only see.
