Making music videos since 2000
- The million-dollar music video is dead. Long live the creative hustle!
Creativity is my Superpower
My name is Jaakko Manninen - I'm one of the most prolific music video directors in the world and this is my website dedicated to the art of creating visuals to support your music.
Since 2001, I've directed and produced hundreds of music videos, lyric videos and other promotional content for artists like Kylie Minoque, Nile Rodgers & Jake Shears, Shaggy & Jovi Rockwell, Mr. Vegas, NERVO, Bomfunk Mc's, Apache Indian, Free Nationals & Chronixx, Desmond Dekker, Alex Gaudino, Eric the American, Nari & Milani, Diimond, Mickey Avalon, Michael Monroe, Hanoi Rocks, R3hab, Ummet Ozcan and many others.
The music video game has changed quite a bit and I wanted to create a project that can respond to those changes.
That is why I created wordup.video - a source for knowledge, help & tools for making music videos.
Today's music video production needs to be fast, lenient, fun and eye-catching. Don't spend all your budget on one project or one video. Use your creativity and make sure all your music gets proper visual counterparts for sharing across platforms and for reaching their full potential.
Wordup.video is an extension of me and my career in music videos: Always budget efficient, always looking for innovative ways to tell the story and always putting the song and the artist first.
To help anyone with their music video projects, I've created an AI rig specializing only in music video production. I'm constantly growing the dataset and building tools around it. I also offer low-priced services and mentorship packages to make it possible for anyone to be able to work with me and get their project to the next level.

Promoting your music is not a 'diet' - it's a lifestyle change.
Instead of eating one big meal, consider just having a routine that you can stick with and keep engaged with your past, current and upcoming releases. The world is vast, there will be those people who get your vibe. It might just take time.
