Editing
I started editing in January 2006, using Windows Movie Maker. After a year of experimenting, I moved onto Adobe Premiere Pro and I currently edit with Sony Vegas. I use a variety of sources, anime, games, live-action, Disney, whatever inspires me at the moment. Editing for me is a form of stress relief, and it's how I process my emotions and life experiences. My serious videos always have a personal emotion or story behind them. Parodies are what I do for fun. I enjoy making people smile and laugh and I put more effort into my comedy projects than I do in my drama / romance videos. I go by the name Cirera for my international videos. My main username and Finnish account on YouTube and AMV.org is Sawnah. Awards

Interests
I'm interested in games, movies and theater. I love watching anime and reading manga. I also love going to anime conventions around the world. I'm currently studying to become a Bachelor of Social Services, and school takes up a lot of my free time. Whenever I need to escape from reality, I try to edit something. My job takes up quite a bit of time too: I'm a director of a children's movie course, where I teach children to create movies of their own. It's really a rewarding job, but also extremely tiring.
