What is Star Zone Productions? Star Zone Productions is a group of
Finnish students studying in University. Star Zone Productions makes videos
and films and some videos are already in international broadcast. We are
sorry that our English site is not as good as our Finnish site.
Some facts about Star Zone Productions:
- Star Zone Productions is an independent group of three Finnish students.
- We make different kinds of videos with a long experience (since 1996).
We mainly produce documentaries, but recently we have done also movies.
- We are located in the city of Turku in Finland, Europe.
- We use PAL-system on our videos, which is the common system in Europe. All our videos are done digitally and edited with PC, so our films are in digital format, but we take a lot of VHS-copies from all of
them. Now a days DVD ja CD are also common.
- We have produced demo-videos and videos about schools and companies. We look forward to get new projects all the time. We can say that our videos are almost as good as the professional's.
- Making videos is a great hobby to all members in Star Zone and we think that this is a hobby where almost everything is
possible.

Our movies
Syysilma
Between years 2000-2001 we produced a movie called "Syysilma" (duration: 89 min). It was Finland's biggest movie project (year 2001)
not made by professionals. We had over 40 actors in our
movie and almost all of them were under 16 years old. Movie was made in co-operation with, for
example, the Police Department of Turku, the Finnish Civil Aviation Administration and
McDonald's. The movie has over 45 scenes and they were shot in over 20 locations in city of Turku. Parts of “Syysilma” have been seen on the Finnish TV (YLE and
TurkuTV). The movie was shot with Sony DCR-TRV210E.
The movie is a story of two boys (Alex and William) who want to try something new, but everything doesn’t work as they have planed. William also meets a girl and falls in love. He has to make
difficult decisions and think what he really wants to do with his life.
