Supermodel is a reality documentary based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model and is aired on 3+. The show pit contestants against each other in a variety of competitions to determine who will win title of the new Swiss Supermodel as well as a modelling contract with an agency in hopes of a promising career start in the modeling industry. Former Swiss Topmodel Nadja Schildknecht hosted the first Cycle which aired from November to December 2007 but did not return for the second installment of the show. She was replaced by Wolfgang Joop-Muse Franziska Knuppe, who was a guest-judge on Cycle 1, for Cycle 2 which aired in late 2008.Bruce Darnell, famous for being the runway coach and a judge on the first two Cycles of GNTM, also joined the show as a catwalk trainer.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
