AKA: Uzshka, Uutska
One of the founding members of TRK, Sakari has recently decided to update his profile! Sakari's strenghts in the ReiluKerho include a fair knowledge of computers and gaming. In gaming he excels most at RTSs, where he prefers cunning diplomacy, aggressive military construction and a ruthless disregard of his own minions which almost equals his disregard for others minions. He hates people who give up straight away, but prefers it when his opponents dont resist his bids for world domination too long.
His miniatures achievements include taking a preposterously long time to get anything done, a stylish Eldar army prone to spontaneous breakage, a decaing Tau army, and one fairly respectable unit of red Dire Avengers.
In MTG he is hindered by his preference for cards which look cool, to the point that he often chooses his theme decks merely on this basis. It has also led him to own an extensive collection of outdated and low power level Kamigawa cards which he has somehow shambled together into a few playable decks. He is possibly most known for his disabling Orzhov deck, his mono-green mana filtering Spirit deck, and his enduringly succesfull Boros deck.
Sakari is also the person who first brought Stepmania to TRK. Due to his current absense in Japan, he is slightly worried his previous position as the most adept player may be at risk. Thus he has plans for a rigorous training scheme upon his return.
Sakari is a devout follower of Pastafarianism, and is a avid fan of Pirates as well as Ninjas (those which aren't evil.)
Sakari's taste in music is perhaps the second widest in TRK with the absence of Scott. He can find music he enjoys in almost every genre, having recently even found something to his liking within metal and hip hop. His favourite type of music includes music with folk influences, or other quirks which seperate it from the average.

Tagline: "Ei tää oo Call of Ktulu!"
Pyry is one of the founding members of TRK. His life is mainly three things: miniatures, music and computers. Oh yeah... There's that thing called school. He goes there too.
Pyry is maybe the craziest miniature collector of TRK. He spends almost all his time in the attic doing all kind of mysterious miniature projects. Some people believe he was born a paintbrush in his hand (and a craft knife + green stuff in the other - Olli). Let's all pray to god he doesn't stay in his attic for too long and die from shortage of water.
Pyry is not too good at FPS games. When he plays FPS games stylish random unaccurate dakka dakka or bang bang shooting is more important to him than good stats.
Pyry bought Age of Empires II right after it was released but after some playing it was burried in his closet. He found the game again when he played with Sakari and ladz and that was when his true talent came to life.
Pyry listens to everything that has something to do with rock. He downloads his music from the net because all his money goes to miniatures. He usually listens to radio because he is too lazy to burn CDs and play them.

Everything went really smoothly, but there could have been more things happening (it was kind of continuous).
Where I don't agree with Olli was that the music (in my opinion) didn't suit what was happening. If someone was chasing you or this was not a short vid and you had an actual character - with an implied personality - the music would have been better for the situation.
Nice one! Lame idea but still so good. I somehow disagree with Olli about the credits. The you did it this time and in the nuclear afterblaablaa film is better suited for these kind of artistical films than the old *text scrolling down with techno music* you usually use.
Olli, the only thing that fails at the moment is that nobody has posted about your Maiden vid.
Actual character as if "not just some random hobo". Implied meaning indicated.
God, some people never fail to astonish me. Officially adult and in the best IB school in Finland and still some completely regular words escape him.
You're like big "little" kids, Olli and Ilkka. :D
I agree with Olli, how, exactly does one manage to be an actual character with an implied personality? I mean, wouldn't one rather be an actual character with a real personality, not fake or implied?
Please Ilkka note that to imply means "to indicate or suggest without being explicitly stated"; and as such doesn't make much sense in your argument.
And furthermore, I'm not quite sure how that personality within said character has anything to do with your conclusion, or whole argument for that matter, whatsoever. As far as I'm conserned, the epicness or style of music often has little to do with the depth of characters' personalities in short movies.
Also, I'd like to point out that the character in Jonttu's short movie was an "actual character". Within the confines of the video, we gathered all the information we could from just observing him. He didn't speak, but he showed emotion, and he was an integral part of the movie. Without him, it wouldn't have been very interesting, now would it?
@Jonttu: Nice movie, I liked it. Although there is one part where you leave the door open, only for it to close itseft just a few seconds later, but other than that, 'twas brillig.
@Tony: Clearly you don't see what I tried to explain.
I feel that just some random guy running around in endless circles is entertaining, but exciting music like in the film is not that well suited for it.
(Olli, is it like you to be so sudden and efficient in starting epic verbal struggles on a blog's message board?)
Nice that such a spontaneous video got so much praise. :)
The idea actually popped up as I remembered one of those classic Scooby Doo style scenes where there is a corridoor with lots of doors and the characters run of of other doors that they ran into.
Argh. I wouldn't have done it without those meddling kids!
ROFLMAO!!!
JONTTUU!! You need to make it so there is a monster running as well!!
That's what I've been saying all the time. But why not make it a Battlefield Heroes CARTOON TANK??!!?
I guess someone could run after me and hold a cardboard monster to the camera. Would look quite crap though. :D
Just use some crappy mask.
And with the magic of editing, you could be yourself and the monster.
I'll just greenscreen a zombie from hl2. xD
