![]() ![]() Laurence Harvey - Wilhelm Grimm / The Cobbler ("The Cobbler and the Elves").The children cheer, and the film ends with a caption card that reads "…and they lived happily ever after". Wilhelm begins, "Once upon a time, there were two brothers". As their train pulls into the station, hordes of children arrive, chanting, "We want a story". ![]() Jacob prepares to make a speech deliberately insulting the academy for snubbing Wilhelm. They are ultimately invited to receive honorary membership at the Berlin Royal Academy, which makes no mention of the tales in their invitation. Jacob, shaken by his brother's experience, begins to collaborate on the fairy tales with Wilhelm. Wilhelm's fever breaks, and he recovers completely, continuing his own work while his brother publishes regular books, including a history of German grammar, a book on myths and legends, and a book on law. He dreams that at night various fairy tale characters come to him, begging him to name them before he dies. As a result of wading through a stream in an effort to retrieve the manuscript (which fell into the water after his briefcase broke open), Wilhelm becomes critically ill with potentially fatal pneumonia. They are required to pay their rent, which was waived while they worked. ![]() Wilhelm loses the manuscript of the Duke's family history while writing down this third story - he is supposed to be collecting additional information for the family history - and the brothers cannot meet their deadline. The culmination of this tale involves a jeweled dragon and features the most involved usage of the film's special effects. Another tale, " The Singing Bone", is told by an old woman in the forest who tells stories to children, while the uninvited Wilhelm secretly listens through an open window. One of the tales is told as an experiment to three children in a book store to see if publishing a collection of fairy tales has any merit. Tales such as " The Dancing Princess" and " The Cobbler and the Elves" are integrated into the main plot. They are working to finish a history for a local Duke, though Wilhelm is more interested in collecting fairy tales and often spends their money to hear them from locals. The story focuses on the Grimm brothers, Wilhelm and Jacob, and is biographical and fantastical at the same time. Three projectors, in the back and sides of the theatre, produced a panoramic image on a screen that curved 146 degrees around the front of the audience. It was filmed in the Cinerama process, which was photographed in an arc with three lenses, on a camera that produced three strips of film.

I felt happy while doing this interview and could tell just by looking around that this company was working on experience and on having fun.ġ) A edited, short video combining the best of the demo and interview (I’ve embedded that video in my blog below). In Kathy Sierra speak: Smilebox makes me smile. Looking at the walls you can tell that this company cares deeply about experiences. That tells me it’s a different kind of company right off the bat.īut, there’s a lot more to this company that lets you build cool online greeting-card-like stories with video, photos, and lots of other goodies. I love a company that puts its developers right in the middle of its office. Look at the fact that it’s one of a very few companies who’ve introduced me to its development team (pair programming, even!) ![]()
