Nordic Game 2014

...Was the best! Is that enough for you? No? Ok. It was absolutely thrilling to hear that we would get to attend The NordicGame Conference this year. I knew there was a lot of new and interesting stuff to be seen, but it was even better than I expected. We took the plane from Helsinki Vantaa to Copenhagen Kastrup and from there we continued by train across the puddle to Malmö, Sweden. Even though we missed the first day of lectures and workshops, we still were in time for the ”Indie Game Night”- party.  The whole idea of the party was networking and voting for this years Nordic Indie Sensation!

HERE IS ONE OF THE FINAL WORKS FROM VIDEO GRAPHICS & EFFECTS COURSE

Sometimes everything you think is real in the film is visual effects. Participating in Video graphics & effects course was a mind blowing experience. Juuso Kaari from trollvfx http://www.wearetroll.com/ was one of the teachers for the course. He gave a lecture on case studies to help us to understand VFX. The most exciting part of the course was of course creating our own short film using green screen part and here I’m happy to share this one great final work by me and Rosanna Salminen. I hope you enjoy it!
