Along with reporter Nuutti Takkinen. We traveled to Tammisaari to film an insert of Noah and Emil Pallas.
The brothers play in different teams on the Finnish top football league: Veikkausliiga.

The insert consists of telling the story of the brothers and how it is to play vs each other. Brothers also show their competitive side. In the end there is a funny event that includes some artistic eye.

This insert was filmed under contract with Kuitu Media Oy & Sanoma Media Finland Oy

From 2021 to 2024, during three regular seasons and playoffs, I filmed ice hockey player interviews and b-roll in various cities across Finland. Most of the time, I also edited the video inserts.

The inserts were broadcast on Finnish national television — channels MTV3, MTV Sub, and the on-demand service Cmore (current MTV Katsomo) — in cooperation with Suora – Live Broadcasting Company and the Finnish Hockey League (LIIGA).

Here are some inserts to showcase my work:

Alongside with reporter Anssi Mertaranta. We traveled between the two challenger cities, to reveal the stories behind the scenes with all access. The battle for the championship.

The series was made for Cmore on-demand service (Current MTV Katsomo) and produced by MTV Urheilu and MTV3 tv channel.

I was filming for three seasons broadcast interview inserts with b-rolls for Finnish second highest hockey league, Mestis. I did most of the time also the editing for the inserts. Mestis as a league is naturally smaller than the first league, LIIGA. It’s a good league for young upcoming players to improve their skills and achievements for the future. Mestis has countless stories to tell of players who went after their dreams, but also of long lasting careers in the league. The inserts were done in cooperation with reporter Juho Kokko.

These inserts were made for Cmore on-demand service (Current MTV Katsomo) and produced by MTV Urheilu and MTV3 tv channel.
