August 2009
Snowclone's first non-December video shoot coincided with the band's second anniversary. The mission was to produce material for the last video from the first album and the first from the forthcoming second one.
My Song
The video for My Song, in a way, came about as Working Title's by-product, because it required a lot less preparation and could easily be accomodated within the weekend's schedule. The idea for the video, however, had already existed for over a year. In addition, everybody agreed that as a song, MS was yet to receive the attention it deserved, and that a video might help in this respect.
In line with the song's theme and atmosphere, the video was aimed to be more serious than usual, even though Snowclone would hardly do something with frown. By the way, the ashes Anna sprinkles into the sea are real, although originating from burnt milk cartons instead of a person.

Heart-Shaped Ice
The video was once again shot in December but this time in Oulu where there was enough snow and ice. As has become something of a trademark for Snowclone, the story is closely tied to the lyrics and loaded with strong symbolism. This time, also Anna herself appears in the video, meaning that also singing sequences could be included. We also had to have some dancing because, after all, it's a dance song.
December 2007
Snowclone's first videos were shot in Helsinki in December. The weather was just as chilling, rainy and windy as the time and place may indicate, but at least this fit Waiting for Life's atmosphere most perfectly, even though the two-day session hardly became a reminiscence to cherish and half of the team ended up with various illnesses.
The shoot came with a weather reservation, since walking through the rain isn't at its most credible with no rain. In case of snow, Heart-Shaped Ice would've been filmed instead, but kneeling in the snow wasn't really possible in the capital region during the whole winter 07-08. Anna herself isn't present in these videos apart from the voice because she was in Africa at the time. The roles were filled up with professional (over)actors from Tero's film production team.
Red Light Stop Sing
RLSS's video also ended up very lyric-visualizing. The untrustworthy guy ends up letting the lady down, as usual. This time, however, she isn't going to simply forgive and forget but throw the family values (or at least some signs) away.
Waiting for Life
The video for WfL is very loyal to the story. The protagonist grows tired of waiting but has to face the fact that the chances have already passed him by. Kati Clements and Ilari Sani gloat as malicious passers-by.
