You’re gonna wanna watch this in HD 1080p. – Click below to see important stuff! Song written, performed & produced by Helena Haaparanta Music video directed & edited by Eetu Pennanen Producer: Hilla Tykkyläinen Assistant Director: Ida Salin Cinematographer: Nelli Lindholm Makeup Artist: Heta Puoskari In the Spring 2018, I applied to a UAS to study songwriting & music producing. This piece was one of my entrance exam assignments. It got me in! Soundwise the production is not very high quality, but hey: it was my first time ever mixing and mastering. =^____^= At the moment I am not going to pursue a career as an artist – I’m going to be concentrating on my studies. But who knows: I might slip some of my work on this channel every once in a while, for you guys to check on how my producing & songwriting skills are improving. This gorgeous music video was also a result of a school assignment given to Eetu Pennanen – the young, super talented director – and his amazing team consisting of his class mates. All of them were studying the tricks of the trade, and I’m so thankful and proud of them all for making this happen! I want to thank HEO Kansanopisto for enabling this project. Thank you Mats Takila & Sakke Aalto for all the support at the pitching clinic. Your amazing feedback gave my confidence a game changing size of a boost. I think it was after meeting you guys that I decided I was talented enough to pursue a career: that I would learn how to produce music. A special thanks goes to my then music technology teacher Markku Ollikainen, who patiently guided me, believed in me when I didn’t, and pushed me forward when I was stuck. I couldn’t have done it without you, man. And lastly, I would like to thank the one who put me against that white wall. Thank you for giving me wings, and thank you for letting me fly away. Some of you always sing along to songs you enjoy: I know you do! So here are the correct lyrics for you. I wrote them some years ago, not realising that one day they would inspire a visual storyteller into making a beautiful music video. *** Dark form Safe, warm Dark, warm Resistance torn Safe form Gentle storm What is this How did I get here Stuck inside my head He build me a cocoon Dark form Safe, warm Soft porn Nice ’n’ warm Shut me out here Here I am Staring at the white wall Colors come circling through it all He build me a cocoon He is here The master of my dreams And melodies And colours And me He build me a cocoon *** Thanks for taking the time! –Love, Helena
