I worked as a compositor on this animated puppet short film directed by CHRZU.

I worked on this animated short film Ankkuri (the anchor) that was directed by Tommi Juutilainen and produced by Camera Cagliostro. I did some animating and a lot of compositing.

Animation that we made at Taiste for Lemcon Networks. I acted as the animation director while Ville Kaisla designed the look and did the storyboarding.

This trailer for the film festival Unohdettu Elämä (Forgotten Life) was written by me and Lauri Järvenpää. Teemu Nikki from It's Alive Films directed it.

Runrabbits story finally comes to an end in 2010. We got to work with a lot of fun projects while it lasted. Here is Runrabbits last showreel.

We made this animation The Gate of Fire (Tuliportti) that tells the common history of man and fire in the style of cave paintings. It was specifically designed to be projected by six projectors so that it would surround you in the theater that you had to pass to enter the Fire! Fire! exhibition. The exhibition was held in Logomo in 2011 when Turku was the European capital of culture.

Another trailer we made for Animatricks animation festival in 2009. Tiny dancer is one of the festival mascots.

Series of commercial brake indicators for Finnish channel four that promote anti smoking campaign Fressis.fi. We designed and executed the animations. Filming of the actors was done by It's Alive.

Trailer that I made for this animation festival Animatricks that's held in Helsinki, Finland. 

The Red Commander is a music video that works as a trailer for the story that is told on the album Winter King, by CMX. We directed it together with my brother Janne Kukkonen and collaborated closely with the singer and song writer A.W. Yrjänä from CMX, when writing the script. Had a really tight schedule with this one, only four months all together.

First animated movie that Turun Anikistit produced and made all together. The film consists of eight episodes, or lessons if you will. They each teach you something about England and the attitudes of  the 70's. My lesson is the last one "How Stupid". I also made the title sequence for the movie.

This is a "document" we made about our animation group Turun Anikistit. Maybe things aren't really that bleak. www.anikistit.net
