Fashion as a pathway to film

Variations of Carmine: Deep Carmine

If any Carminian over here is some kind of rockstar-fashonista type of person this post is for you!

"All Saints" the British fashion retailer is beginning to use cross-media techniques to enhance the customer experience by appealing to their senses in their online website that presents both, high quality garments and independent works of visual artists. 

Alvise invites you to visit "All Saints" webpage and enjoy the film section of the online shop, where short films expose great minds with amazing visuals in a quite gallantly and exuberant way. Alvise’s favourites were the "Manifestos",  series of short films of five different originals that share with the viewers the world as they see it. 

Among them you got Gorge, London Ultimate Street Poet, who in his tender and firm voice, speaks for the future by  promoting children to be guided with prosperity and purpose. He ends his poem with “I wander what the cure for cancer is trapped in one of this young minds; see the soil is not infertile, but the flower can only blossom in the sunshine.” This evocative artist is has won the his place among Alvise’s favourite street poets. You rock Gorge!

Another rockstar Alvise wants to mention is the ground breaking Stunt Ride Extraordinaire, Cheska Miles, who comment in another short video about the passion she feels when she rides her Honda super motorcycle: “The ride is is control of the elements the ride is all that matters…” 

This beauty has life under control!

Note: this are only a couple of the five originals, so go and  type on your browser http://www.us.allsaints.com/studios/ and enjoy the ride.

Got Netflix?

Variations of Carmine: Spanish Carmine

 Welcome, welcome little Carminians. For you, who are fond to foreign originality, Alvise is pleased to announce that Netflix is offering a brand new platform for foreign industry. Check it out!

Adaptations to famous american shows are some trends that Netflix is following to enhance its international impact while giving help to foreign producers to wide up their game. As you can imagine, Netflix  is financing the Mediterranean and French version of the acclaimed series "House of Cards".

 Europeans are happy about it, Joris Evers, a Netflix spokesman in Amsterdam offered his unparalleled support when he commented:  “We’re at a scale where we can economically create original content that debuts exclusively on Netflix. By personalising promotion of the right title to the right member, we have a large opportunity to promote our original titles.”

Netflix also gives importance to cultural delights that adapt to each charted audience.

In UK, Netflix gives the british “The Crown,” a series about the honorable Queen Elizabeth and her reign. In Mexico, on the other hand, Netflix is funding a Spanish-language comedy series that includes the element of soccer as is main focus. 

As you can see Netflix is on to world dominance.

Apart from the nationality issues, Netflix is also promoting creative animation works. That is super cool because it  makes possible to independent series like “Wakfu” to be introduce without being eclipsed big animation giants and the economic drain for exposure. As Olivier Comte, the managing director of Ankama, put it into words:“The business model of animation is honestly only possible if you are capable of being broadcast in many countries, because animation is quite expensive,”

Carminians, Netflix is offering chances to globalise entertainment channels and is giving opportunities to creative excursionists on entertainment industry. What do you think about it? Alvise thinks is a nice way to add a more palatable visual buffet in the confines of the virtual webs.But: Should we allow the diminishing of potentially substantial foreign material  by creating reheated american hits? Or: Tell Netflix to promote more authentic productions of the territory in the spotlight?

Feel free to comment,

But don´t fall down the stairs.
