There's quite a long list of things I could be telling about myself, but I'll try to keep things short.

I'm one of Amelia Andersdotter's new interns from the Finnish Pirate Party (Piraattipuolue). But where others focus on keeping things orderly and doing a mountain of paperwork and typing, I have a whole different task which is filming and editing the exile6e series. I've never worked in a highly political (not to mention international) surroundings like the one inside the Parliament, but I'm up to the task that's been flung at my direction!

My experience what comes to video making comes largely from personal experience, but some of it comes directly from Keskuspuiston Ammattiopisto, which was the vocational school I graduated from in 2012. The media branch of my school focused mainly in graphic design and photography, thus video and audio work didn't get as much attention in our curriculum as I would've hoped. Since the school was largely based in photography and graphic design, I learned most of my videomaking by watching tutorials and doing internships in different web tv/multimedia companies.

What comes to other things I do, I have a HUGE interest in video games. I enjoy watching and casting eSports as well as following the video game industry. I have a YouTube channel (youtube.com/GaemDork), on which I post recordings of my streams on twitch.tv, as well as some other gameplay videos like let's plays and highlight reels. I personally would never wish to design a game, but one of my long time dreams is to be able to make a living by creating video game related content and/or casting major eSports tournaments.

But my interest in video games will have to be on hold for the next six-or-so months, for I have a more immediate task at hand! I have the glorious duty of making Amelia and her staff happy with the footage I shoot and the content I make!
