Sergei Eisenstein. Eisenstein's film style emerged as a result of the Russian Revoloutions, during which he had designed propaganda posters. He was taught in Kuleshov's workshops, but he advanced Kuleshov's techniques.  He split montage into five different ways; Metric (each shot is timed), Rhythmic (each shot is timed according to the rhythm of what is in the shot), Tonal (cutting in order to generate an emotional connection), Overtonal (Using a combination of the previous three) and intellectual (Put a third shot after two previous shots to create meaning) Examples of Eisenstein's films would be "Strike"(1925) and "The Battleship Potemkin"(1925). Many examples of Eisenstein's use of montage can be seen in the famous step scene in "The Battleship Potemkin".  Dziga Vertov.  Dziga Vertov was a newsreel cameraman who coined the term 'Kino eye' or 'film eye'.

Brent Chambers is a New Zealand animator who founded Flux animation studios in Auckland in 1997. Pervious to this, Brent had done a little bit of acting and had worked as an animator employed by Disney. His short "Grass" is a black comedy about the perils of conformity as we watch a man trying to fit in with his neighbours. It was the winner of the people's choice World Wide Winner Award in the 2004 Stockholm short film festival and it was at the Sydney film festival in 2004 and the Sukagawa film festival in 2005.

1) Film In 2008, a mayor from a town in Turkey named "Batman" threatened to sue Christopher Nolan, the director of The Dark Knight, and Warner bros. studios because he said that the name "Batman" was copyright infringement and the town had been called "Batman" before "Batman" had been called "Batman". He also tried to seek damages saying that since the release of the movie there was a spike in crime and suicide rates which he attributed to the film. I can't find an outcome to the lawsuit so I am assuming that it was laughed out of court before it even got there. 2) Music When John Fogerty left Creedence Clearwater Revival he had to sign away his rights to the songs that he had written.
