Sex Tape Finland
Sensuel Friday to all of you!
Channel Nelonen’s “Sex Tape Finland” is a new TV show that is not just entertaining but can truly make a difference in the world. The format is aimed at solving couples’ relationship problems through revealing their most intimate moments with others. Together with Nelonen Media Creative team we created red-hot and hypnotizing teaser animations and stills for the show.

Timo - Artist Friday
Sadly, our Artist Fridays has come to an end.
We introduce you one more artist, the one and only, master of 3D- TIMO HÄMÄLÄINEN!
Hey Timo, what do you do?
I work as a 3D artist and designer here in Piñata.
So modeling/sculpting, texturing/shading, lighting, rendering and creating visual styles is what I do.
I've been working here since 2009.
When did you start?
As a kid, I loved to draw all kinds of stuff. (Mostly turtles action figures, OF COURSE) and characters from NES games. When I got older, I got really into street art and graffiti.
I really liked artist like CanTwo and Daim.
Actually, Daim's style is the main reason I opened 3D software in the first place and that was around 2003.
Favourite artists and sources of inspiration?
There are so many artists I could name, but I’ve been inspired by so many that’s it’s hard to select one or two specific artists but for an example: NYCHOS, Greg "Craola" Simkins, Junko Mizuno, Dug Stanat, D*Face..
Who do you admire?
The people who inspire me the most are those who are down to earth. They do more than talk; their heart is in everything that they do.
What is your favourite subject matter to sculpt?
Characters for sure. I really like to start something from scratch, go with the flow and start to improvise something out.
What tips would you give to beginner artists?
Keep practicing and try to find your own style. Add a personal touch to your work. Once you know the basics and rules - start to break them!
Thank you and have a good one!

Happy halloween from Piñata and especially from our animator trainee Julie Astrup who created this amazing treat! Coincidentally it also happens to be international animation day!
We can soon start preparing for retirement. 16 year old Tommi Lavi spent a week at Piñata doing a work experience program from secondary school. During that time he designed and executed this animated bumper for Piñata!
