the important distinction between regular advertising and branded content is that the brand remains the host of the party alone, letting good content speak for itself with the hope being that the audience feels gratitude towards the brand at the end. you can see this in the grolsch - backed, youtube - launched, free - to - view feature film the fourth dimension starring val kilmer, and in terry gilliam' s pasta - company - funded short film, the wholly family, which premiered at the london film festival in 2011 .

in only ten years, the portland - based studio laika has become a foremost voice in feature film animation. founded in 2005, the studio released its first stop - motion feature, the henry selick - directed coraline, in 2009 to rave reviews. then came paranorman in 2012, followed by the boxtrolls in 2014, all three of which were nominated for a best animated feature oscar. along the way, the studio has emerged as an industry pioneer, inventing new technologies to refine their art and overcome obstacles as they arise — a tendency that earned them a technical oscar earlier this year for their innovations in 3d printing. now, they’re set to release their most ambitious film yet with kubo and the two strings, the epic fantasy adventure and directorial debut from company ceo and former lead animator, travis knight .
however, as david cox' s guardian article from 2008 explains, some fear a dangerous precedent could be set. eurostar fully financed shane meadows' 2008 film somers town to the tune of £750, 000 – the director says that he
never once thought about eurostar when [ he ] was making this film
, and that his artistic integrity was not compromised in the slightest, but at the same time, the film does cast eurostar in a fantastic light. the ability to disguise advertising as art, in something as significant as a feature film with a respected director, for £750, 000, without being forced to label your product as an advert, actually sounds like a pretty good deal .

the teenage director brought a surprisingly mature perspective to his immediate youthful experiences, yet the film’s beginnings were not sheltered from teething problems. “i had started shooting on borrowed prosumer cameras. i was pretty happy with the film, but lost all the footage after a power surge fried my pc and everything on it. i tried to cheer myself up and bought a german drama called requiem – i remember feeling completely recharged after seeing it. to this day i count it as a film that epitomises what i would love to achieve as a filmmaker. ”

no strings attached is so palpably calculated that you know if the camera had pulled back a foot from the bed in which portman and kutcher were pretending to have sex, you' d have seen their agents standing by beaming: proud parents, proud pimps .
while it' s not without problems, no strings attached is a romantic comedy worth watching, and that' s saying a lot. every member of the cast lights up the screen with humor and charm and there are a lot of genuinely funny moments .

when he mentions the dying breaths of stop - motion, he' s talking about famed stop - motion house will vinton studios, the claymation house responsible for the tv show the pj' s, as well as the california raisins and other advertising hits. knight interned there, working as a young animator, and when the company had major financial problems, knight' s father phil, founder of nike, became the majority shareholder and installed travis first as a board member, then as ceo and president. the knights rebranded the studio as laika in 2005, and moved it away from advertising and into feature - film production. kubo is the first film travis knight personally directed, but he' s been a hands - on animator on all three of its previous feature films — 2009' s coraline, 2012' s paranorman, and 2014' s the boxtrolls. (that' s him in the post - credits scene at the end of the boxtrolls, personally animating two characters from the film having a wink - wink meta conversation about being controlled by invisible hands. )
a terrific debut film from a knowledgeable and very talented filmmaker, with convincing and intriguing characters in a strongly dramatic narrative. it' s photographed and edited with a fresh and highly visual style that makes the most of the excellent cast, creating strong enigma and conflict - along with humour - as the story progresses. the scenes with the young german actress dealing with emotional pressures are particularly strong and well handled. all the young cast turn in convincing portrayals and they, like the film itself, are always watchable, as are the wide range of locations and settings. i fully recommend a viewing of this film - get in early on what i feel sure is the beginning of a quality body of work from this original young director .

study for strings is a contemporary interpretation of an eponymous 1943 orchestral work by pavel haas (czech, 1899–1944), who composed the score while imprisoned in the theresienstadt concentration camp in what is now the czech republic. the nazis filmed a performance of the completed work at the camp as part of the 1944 propaganda film teresiendstadt. almost immediately after filming was completed, haas and many members of the prisoners' orchestra were killed. the conductor, karel ančerl (czech, 1908–1973), survived the holocaust, and after the war he reconstructed the composition .

this movie, is one of those, you must not miss, if you appreciate wonderful pictures and a beautiful atmosphere. the scenes and environment was what hooked me. one glance at the backgrounds and the detail level is enough to make you beg for more. the story is okay, it is not fantastic, but i think it' s well told. the concept of this movie is fully thought through bit for bit, it is revealing the ground rules for a world, where everyone is bound by strings, like a little world inside a box, but still it' s a whole new gigantic world like on another planet. the sound and sound score is perfect, it gives this film, the last bit of atmosphere. it has already become one of my favourites, and there is no film like this one out there .

this funny charming film serves as a love letter to canada' s past railroad industry and the lure of the canadian landscape for visitors from abroad. the train was such an elegant, comfortable, and accessible method of transportation and a way to see the beauty of the country' s landscape. it' s unfortunate that this form of travel has become virtually non - existent in canada, save for the rocky mountaineer that' s exorbitant rates are beyond what most can afford! the ending of this film makes me laugh out loud every time i watch it .
