Excited is the word!

I have really exciting news from this week. We met the partner company that we are going to work with in this project. The company is Digi People Sudio (here is link to their web page). They make videos for other companies and what I have seen, the videos have been really great. Their goal is to do videos which have a story and that video some how touches viewers' emotions. They also does other marketing stuff like 3D-animations, infographics, showreel and commercials. They also have so called "iskuryhmä" for situations which need fast production like launch parties. I am so clad that our group got an opportunity to work with this company. The feeling is just amazing.

We made a video about what is our task to do for the company:

On Monday all of the companies had a little presentation and it was really exciting to here about other teams' companies also. The most I was waiting to here about Digi People Studio of course and we had Pekka Tuominen, the CEO, telling us about the company. But I was also really fascinated about other presentation too like Taigas+Helvetti. I really thought that it was only the books behind that name but in reality there is a whole community behind it. You can find information about it from their website, just click here!

On Tuesday we were at school until 6 pm making the video and thinking about companies that would be great customers for Digi People Studio. We send a list to Pekka, the CEO, what were our idea about companies that would be ideal customers that we could plan an advertising video. We had few really good ideas but lets see what is going to happen. 

I have to also tell that on Wednesday we did a little road trip to Porvoo with Team FTS13 and it was so much fun. The point was to get some inspiration and visit Brunberg factory's store and some petstore called "Peten koiratarvike". We got some fun video and picture material from the trip and we bought a lot of candy also what is enough for the rest of the year. 

Porvoo's beautiful views. It didn't rain even if the picture looks like it did. 

I'm hardly ever in pictures. I'm behind the camera most of the time.

There is also me.

At school we had a quest lecturer on Thursday, Jyri Rasinmäki. He works at Vapamedia (has worked for 5 years) and he was lecturing us problem solving and thinking. You can find him on Twitter and Instagram. The main things in he said was about problem solving, importance of thinking and asking the (right) questions. It was really psychological lecture. He kept telling that everyone should find their own way to think and keep thinking. Relevant to that he also said that you have to be curious and understand people and I agree that. That was wise thing to say because who ever you work with or work for, you have understand them and that is done by being curious about them. And for being curious you have to ask right questions. Three main things that I'm going to do when thinking - I'm going to think freely but logical, I should think more and I should share my thoughts more. 

I'm excited for the next week and what we are going to create. Anyway our team continues to have fun while working and that is how we are going to be creative. 

And by the way we have new group member Ria Ratia. Sadly she is not in the pictures but hopefully in next week's pictures.
