So my art casuaally on the streets of Vilnius is crazy omg

[lesbianwyllravengard]

My professor took off a point from one of my scripts because I labelled a character as Nonbinary, and he claims I should've left the gender description blank because "it's not necessary for this character", as if "nonbinary" is a placeholder for "I don't care what gender" I am actually going to tear him to shreds

Behind the Casting of Spare Me Your Mercy & other insights into oneD originals

This is an old interview from February 2024 when oneD originals were just announced and SMYM had not started filming yet. This is screenwriter Lux and director Wo talking about casting Tor Thanapob and JJ Krissanapoom for the lead roles.

When the first batch of oneD originals were first announced, I found it really interesting that many of the leads in these supposedly "big budget" original series for One31 were mostly independent actors/actors not under One31 management (Tor Thanapob, JJ Krissanapoom, Mai Davika, Baifern Pimchanok, Peach Pachara...)

More recently, P'Lux (the screenwriter of The Empress of Ayodhaya and Spare Me Your Mercy) posted a thread on Twitter discussing the casting/audition process for oneD originals but probably the same process apply to number of one31 series in general.

"Normally, when there is a role that requires an actor, the creator/project owner will inform the channel (One31) about the character/appearance/age/abilities they want. There might be examples of actors that [the creators] think are right for the executives to consider. The channel will specify which actors (in the channel) will come to audition. The casting department will contact them and ask if the actors are interested. Not everyone wants to audition for every role (re: some actors only audition for specific roles, some audition for multiple roles in one project). There are often actors who reject roles. If they want independent actors outside the channel/company, the casting department will contact them and ask for their willingness (to go to casting) in the same way. Then, an audition will be scheduled. The decision-makers are the channel executives/project creator/director/scriptwriter. They will discuss together. If the role is important, difficult, or not what you want, sometimes they will schedule another round of reading. They may do it more than once. In one project, one actor might audition for multiple roles. To see which role is best, most suitable. The OneD Original project places great importance on acting. It wasn't easy to finalize the actors."

This sentiment was also echoed by P'Aom Thammaruja, the casting director who said that the 8 people in the cast of Taste (an upcoming oneD original from the creators of Hormones The Series) were chosen among hundreds of candidates. Out of 8 people, only 3 are One31 actors (Charlette Wasita, Boom Saharat and Obey Punnavich)

Mabel (girl w/ pink background in the center) said all cast members were selected via auditions. Mabel went through two auditions herself. Mabel also said the Taste workshops are intensive and filming will begin this month. She also said the cast members have difficult schedules but the filming schedule has been set. (source)

While P'Lux is talking about this as an insight into oneD originals' casting process, but this casting process is mostly true for many projects across the industry, not limited to just One31.

Tsuzuru: So, what did you want me to see?

Towa: Th-This!!

Tsuzuru: … A script?

Towa: After watching your plays and reading your script, I just couldn’t sit still…

Towa: I felt like I had to make something myself too, so I wrote a script!

Towa: This is my first time, so it’s probably not good, but I figured that the best way to learn how to do anything involving acting is to do it yourself.

Towa: Um, if you’d like to, at some point when you’re super bored, you could give me some advice…

Tsuzuru: Nah, it’s no problem. I can read it now.

Towa: Really!?

Tsuzuru: That part of you that just jumps right into doing things is amazing. I was kinda slow to start out, so I honestly respect you.

Towa: Thank you so much!!

-

Tsuzuru: I see…

Tsuzuru: (Hmmm… He is still a high schooler, but this isn’t exactly a script… Or, rather, he needs to start from the basics…)

Towa: How was it!?

Tsuzuru: Uhhh…

Tsuzuru: (What do I even say in this situation… Up until now I’ve always been the one receiving people’s opinions, not the other way around…)

Tsuzuru: (But since he came to me to get better, I should just tell him what I really think…)

Tsuzuru: Your idea and what you want to do are pretty much conveyed, and I do think it seems fun. But… You can’t use this as a script.

Tsuzuru: I’ll lend you my scriptwriting how-to books, so I think you should study the basics and give it another try.

Towa: The basics… I got it! I’ll do my best!

Tsuzuru: But why scriptwriting?

Towa: I wanted to find more things I could do myself so that KICS can keep going for a long time.

Towa: If we’ve got the script, then all we’ll need to do will be to find somewhere to act…

Tsuzuru: I see. The way you earnestly give it your all is one of your good points, so I think you’ll be fine if you learn scriptwriting from ground zero the same way you learned acting.

Tsuzuru: There are scriptwriting workshops too, and if there’s anything I can help you with, I will.

Towa: Thank you so much! I’ll read the book and learn everything from the beginning!

Towa: Um… Once I rewrite it, will you read it again?

Tsuzuru: Of course. I’ll be looking forward to it.

Yukio: — Okay, this is good. Let’s take a thirty-minute break.

Banri: I brought water.

Yukio: Thank you. Make sure to stay hydrated, everyone.

Kureha: Thank you very much, Banri-san.

Ibuki: I’m paaaarched.

Keiku: You got anything sweet?

Banri: Make do with water.

Towa: Oh yeah, I’ve got something to tell you guys.

Ibuki: You did mention something like that in BlooCha.

Kureha: You said you started out something new?

Towa: From now on, I’ll be challenging myself with scriptwriting!

Keiku: Woah.

Towa: Tsuzuru-san gave the script I wrote a read, and it wasn’t good at all yet. But I’ll do my best starting with the basics so that I’ll be able to write KICS’s scripts one day!

Kureha: That’s amazing. Good luck!

Ibuki: Why not? It’d be easier if we could make them ourselves anyways.

Yukio: I’d say it’s good for a troupe to have a designated scriptwriter since it allows your troupe to develop its own style. Work hard.

Banri: Still. Didn’t think you’d be tryin’ out scriptwriting, Towa.

Keiku: Right, it’s unexpected.

[Door opening]

Izumi: Hello.

Yuki: Good work.

[writingquestionsanswered]

hello, since I've started wanting to make a comic series on my own over a year ago, your blog has been of great help to me since I'm more of a drawer than a writer. Though I've come to realize that the medium of comics may not always work with the advice you usually give for the medium of books/novels. So I was wondering if you had any advice for writing comics, and if not, do you happen to know any blogs that do or that specialize in writing for comics?

Thank You!

Books for Writing Comics

I'm so glad you've found the blog to be helpful. While there's some advice that certainly works across formats, there's a lot that doesn't, too.

Unfortunately, I've never written comics so I can't tell you anything about how to write them. What I can do is tell you that when similar questions have come up in the past, people have recommended the following books:

Stan Lee's How to Write Comics Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud Making Comics by Scott McCloud Comics and Sequential Art by Will Eisner Alan Moore's Writing For Comics The Art of Comic Book Writing by Mark Kneece Writers on Comics Scriptwriting Words for Pictures by Brian Michael Bendis and Joe Quesada

Also, Comics Experience, Udemy, NYFA, and other sites offer comic writing classes and workshops.

I hope that helps!

Author of book for the series You(r)tuber Official greetings to everyone!

As you all know, my novel "When I Wanna Be a YouTuber Competing with My Ex-Boyfriend" is being adapted into a series by Domundi TV. I wanted to share my feelings a bit before the pilot is released. I'm so excited and nervous about how it will turn out. When I finally saw it, I was even more thrilled! I love the camera angles, the overall tone, and the chemistry between the actors.

Actually, I intended this story to be about a healthy relationship without many complex issues. It's a slice-of-life story that I hope will make readers feel warm inside and bring a smile to their faces. In the pilot, Tle and First One acted so adorably, making the audience happy and feel the butterflies. I saw some chemistry between them since I started following them.

Tle is very handsome and has this aura of warmth and romance. His eye expressions are amazing, making it believable that he can make Khun blush for sure! (haha) He also plays guitar and sings beautifully, which is perfect for the role of Khun In.

First One's acting is so cute and clear, every single bit of it! His smile is lovely, and he's adorable when he talks. He's such an endearing person. His dramatic scenes and emotional scenes are also well done and impactful. He's also a great singer. I'm really looking forward to the scene where they get to sing together; it must be amazing!

Last night, I heard him say on stage that Khun's character is difficult to play because it's older than him. For me, I like both InTouch and Khun in his version. If they had a serious workshop before filming the series, they would definitely be able to connect with the characters and act even better. I'm sending them a lot of support! Keep fighting! Next, the roles of Tee Rak and Pluem were a big surprise! I just found out when I saw the pilot that it's Jem and Earth! In the novel, Tee Rak is prominent in protecting his older brother and doesn't tolerate anyone messing with him. His love interest only appears briefly because I'm writing a separate story about them. Jem acted so cute and mischievous, with some funny moments. When he acts with First One, it must be so adorable! These two brothers are quite sweet together because they're very close.

As for Earth, his emotional scenes are so good and his acting is captivating. I love the flashback scene to their school days; it's so cute! In the story, Pluem's character is the most dramatic and complex. I'm waiting to see how it will turn out in the series, and I'm also looking forward to seeing the other actors.

This novel is very dear to me. I created every character and every scene with great care. Watching the eight-minute pilot, I felt so happy! I'm also glad that everyone likes it and wants to see more.

The production company and the team have been in contact with the scriptwriters, discussing some adjustments to the script and asking for some minor details from the novel. I believe the series will turn out great.

Thank you to Domundi TV and Deep Production for choosing this novel. Thank you for choosing the right actors and for your dedication to creating quality work.

I sincerely thank all the novel fans and the actors' fans for your compliments and well wishes. Thank you for your kindness towards this little writer. Every time I see that people like this novel, I'm truly happy. It means a lot to me and it's a great encouragement.

Lastly, please support this novel and the series. I believe the talent and loveliness of all the actors will be discovered and they will receive a lot of love in return. What will In and Khun be like in the series version? Let's wait and see together!

★ Main Story | Act 13 - Budding Spring | Chapter 20 - Trial & Error

Tsuzuru: Good morning.

Young Man: Good morning.

Tsuzuru: (I mean, this thing is aimed at younger scriptwriters, so I guess it makes sense that there’s a bunch of 20-somethings here.)

Tsuzuru: (Well, but none of them seem like they’re college students, so maybe I’m the youngest one here…)

Madoka: Ah--.

Tsuzuru: Huh!? You’re participating in this training camp too, Madoka?

Madoka: Kamikizaka-san introduced me to it. So you’re here too, Minagi-san.

Tsuzuru: It’s nice to see a familiar face. Glad to be working with you.

Madoka: Likewise.

???: Alright, let’s get things started.

???: Once again, I look forward to working with you all for the next two weeks starting today. Let’s start with self-introductions first.

Akazaki: I’ll get us started--I’m Akazaki, director and playwright. I also run a theater company called “Hako”.

Akazaki: I started doing this scriptwriting training camp ten years ago.

Akazaki: The core idea of this camp is that young scriptwriters can learn a lot by thinking about scripts from the point of view of a director.

Akazaki: This workshop is a place for young scriptwriters to interact with each other, so let’s all work together with a little friendly competition. I look forward to seeing your work.

Akazaki: Alright, your turn.

Tsuzuru: I’m Tsuzuru Minagi, actor and in-house scriptwriter at a theater company called MANKAI Company. I’m glad to be here!

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Akazaki: To start, I want you to come up with sixty plot ideas with the theme of “theater”. Your time limit is one hour.

Tsuzuru: Si…!?

Madoka: Sixty…

Akazaki: Each of your ideas should be conveyed in 100 characters or less. Alright, your time starts now.

Tsuzuru: --Gh.

Tsuzuru: (We’re being thrown off the deep end right off the bat. So the theme is “theater” huh… And I need to turn that into an entire plot--.)

Tsuzuru: (Nope, no time to dwell on it. I’ve got an hour to come up with sixty of these, so I’ve gotta crank out a plot a minute… Everyone else has already gotten going on it, so I’ve just gotta give it my best shot.)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Akazaki: Alright, time’s up. That should’ve been a good brain exercise.

Akazaki: Okay, now, take the plot ideas you just wrote out and swap them with someone.

Tsuzuru: (Swap them…?)

Akazaki: Everyone have someone else’s ideas? Then go ahead and pick three of the ideas you think would be interesting to see.

Tsuzuru: (Someone else’s…!? Wait, no way, does that mean I don’t get to pick what I’m going to write about…?)

Akazaki: Once you’ve picked them, return the paper to its original owner.

Akazaki: Once you have your paper back, pick one idea from those three. You then have one hour to put a full plot together.

Madoka: Um, here’s yours, Minagi-san.

Tsuzuru: Ah, right. You’re the one who picked for me? Thanks, Madoka.

Tsuzuru: (T-These are the three he picked!? I never would’ve chosen those myself. But, I guess they are pretty Madoka-like choices.)

Tsuzuru: (Whatever, I’ve got an hour to pull together a plot. I guess I’ll go with this one since it seems like the easiest one to flesh out…)

Tsuzuru: (God, who even comes up with an idea like this…? Well, me with a time limit, apparently…)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Akazaki: Hmm, I see…

Akazaki: I can tell that you were trying to keep things in your comfort zone and there are places where it’s obvious that you were running out of time.

Tsuzuru: Ah… right.

Akazaki: But it’s important to have your comfort zone, and I can tell you that it was kind of unlucky that you had to be dragged out of it for this.

Akazaki: I know it’s natural to want to use your usual style or follow your same techniques, but if you make an effort to throw in new things every once in a while, you can throw a few more tools in your toolbox for you to use later on.

Akazaki: Sometimes you need to be confronted with a more forceful approach like this, that way you can learn to take hits like this more easily.

Tsuzuru: Yeah, I know that already…

Tsuzuru: (It’s important to be able to stand my ground, but that doesn’t mean I can be defensive all the time…)

Akazaki: By the way, why did you decide to come to this training camp, MInagi-kun?

Akazaki: With an in-house position, you’ve got a stable place to write, so is there really a need for you to venture into the outside world?

Tsuzuru: I may have a stable place to write, but I’m always wondering how I can grow more. For my own sake, and for my troupe’s sake.

Akazaki: I see. Well, I think having that kind of greed is a good thing.

Akazaki: This training camp is a workout for your brain, like a real athletic event, so try not to burn yourself out.

Tsuzuru: Right, an athletic event… I was already kinda getting that feeling.

Akazaki: So, that said, why don’t you try and fix this thing starting from the beginning?

Tsuzuru: --U-Understood.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tsuzuru: Aghhh… I’m exhausted…

Tsuzuru: (My brain is fried… I never want to write a single hiragana, kanji, or any other character ever again…)

Madoka: Good work.

Tsuzuru: You still seem pretty lively, Madoka.

Madoka: Do I…? Maybe it’s because I’m used to writing a lot quickly.

Madoka: In the past, my father used to make me do a lot of sudden script revisions, so…

Tsuzuru: That must’ve sucked…

Tsuzuru: But I see… I don’t have a whole lot of experience with having to make revisions like that.

Madoka: I don’t know whether I can say it was a good experience or not, but… I feel like it gave me some more strength for things like this.

Tsuzuru: You sure are resilient…

Madoka: Some of the other participants seemed to be pretty used to writing a lot. It’s probably because a lot of them have experience writing for a lot of different things.

Tsuzuru: That’s true. They did give off the vibe of pros who write scripts for a living.

Tsuzuru: (I’m still just an inexperienced student. The only experience I’ve had writing outside of the company was with Otomiya-san…)

Tsuzuru: I’ll just take all of this as I sign that I still have room to grow.

Madoka: I still have a lot to learn to aim for the new Fleur Award, so… Let’s both do our best.

Tsuzuru: Yeah.

Tsuzuru: (Madoka’s also trying to grow as a scriptwriter for GOD-za. I need to get fired up like that again too.)

Madoka: Well then, good night. See you tomorrow.

Tsuzuru: G’night.

Tsuzuru: (The thing with the way I write scripts is that I just do the same thing I always have, but it’s still kinda refreshing to learn more about how other people write them.)

Tsuzuru: (I’ve really used up all my braincells, but it’s pretty interesting experiencing a new world like this.)

Tsuzuru: (Oh, right, I should check in on the group chat before I sleep…)

Tsuzuru: (I’ve got no clue what Citron-san is trying to say, but what else is new… And what kinda name is “TorORo”…)

Tsuzuru: (…I feel like I could write up some material for Citrun with that.)

Tsuzuru: (Can’t believe I felt like I couldn’t even write another character a moment ago. I’ll just jot down some quick notes before I sleep.)

T/N:

(1) Citron’s name in the chat is “都呂々” (Tororo) which is just the name of a town in Japan. I think what he was probably going for was to have his name as “トロロ” (Tororo, just in katakana) as like, a play on his name? Because like, シトロン (ShiTOROn) so it’s like taking the “トロ” (Toro) part of his name and turning it into “Tororo” as a nickname. I decided to translate it as “TorORo” because like, “都呂々” has the pronunciation he was probably going for, it’s just not quite the right way to write it, so I figured the best way to convey that was through weird capitalization as opposed to it being misspelled.

Journalism is finding a new voice and face in a world where a 15-second reel can go viral, yet facts still count. For Generation Z, authenticity rules everything. They want real stories told by real people they can trust, not just news. Now, enter the BA in Journalism and Mass Communication, designed for a generation ready to report, represent, and transform our view of the world.

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 16: Crossing Paths - Episode 5: Broadening Horizons

Kureha: Welcome— Oh, you came again!

Homare: Hello, there are four of us today.

Kureha: Feel free to sit over there.

[Kureha looks at Keiku]

Kureha: Huh? You’re the guy with the pudding…

Keiku: …

Ibuki: Do you go to the same school?

Keiku: Dunno.

Kureha: We’ve seen each other at the cafeteria so many times, though!?

Ibuki: Oh~ So we do have a connection here.

Towa: Um, I’m Towa! With the ‘To’ from peach and the ‘wa’ from peace!

Towa: I heard that you like watching plays, so how would you feel about joining our troupe and becoming an actor!?

Homare: Oh my, it seems he’s been inspired.

Ibuki: … Hmmm?

Kureha: A troupe…

Towa: I’ve only just formed it, and the only members are us three!

Towa: If we find one more person, MANKAI Company’s scriptwriter promised he’d write us a script!

Towa: So–

Kureha: ——

Towa: … Um?

Kureha: Sorry. I have no interest in being an actor.

Towa: But something just clicked in me when I saw you! I can’t put it into words, but…

Kureha: … I understand what you mean. I’m the type of person that naturally attracts attention… whether I like it or not, that is.

Kureha: I’m sure I’d attract the audience if I were to stand on stage. Honestly, I’ve thought about that often, as well.

Ibuki: You thought about it?

Kureha: Your assumption is correct.

Keiku: IDGI.

Kureha: It may not make much sense, but that’s how it is.

Kureha: Ever since I was little, someone would inevitably come and help me when I was troubled, and there's always been someone fussing over me.

Kureha: This is just the hand fate dealt me. Of course, I make sure to never take those around me for granted.

Ibuki: I didn’t think you’d be so weird.

Towa: Right! That must be it! That’s why I think you’d be a perfect fit for my troupe!

Keiku: They’re having a weirdo-off.

Kureha: But I shouldn’t. I can’t become an actor.

Towa: Why—!

Homare: Now, now. Let us all take a step back before anything else.

Towa: I-I’m sorry.

Homare: How about you give it a try first? Seeing as you enjoy watching plays, perhaps a workshop would prove beneficial for you.

Homare: Even if it ends up being of no interest to you, I believe your perspective will change once you understand the position of those who are standing on stage. As an added bonus, the next performance you attend may be all the more intriguing for you as well.

Kureha: …

Homare: Do you not think it to be a waste to dismiss the idea without even giving it a try?

Homare: The flavor of your tea is full of adventure. Is that not thanks to your curiosity in trying out new things?

Kureha: … I understand. I’ll give it a try.

Towa: YAY!!! Thank you so much! Um, what’s your name—

Kureha: It’s Kureha.

Towa: Kureha-kun! I look forward to working with you!

Tooru: Hello.

Guy: Welcome. You’re the first one in tonight as usual.

Tooru: It’s easiest for me to come in right when you open.

Hisoka: … You’re still not used to it?

Tooru: It’s easier than it used to be, but I still get a little nervous when there are lots of customers around…

Guy: This is not such an uptight store.

Tooru: Right you are. If anything, it’s quite comfortable.

Tooru: That reminds me, the Zahran sweets you gave me a while ago were delicious. They go well with tea.

Tooru: My wife asked me to give you her thanks.

Guy: I’m happy they were to her liking.

Tooru: …

Guy: Is something wrong?

Tooru: Ah, no… Right, there was something I wanted to discuss with you.

Tooru: A friend of mine is a movie director, and he’s been looking for actors for his next movie…

Tooru: Once I heard the details about the role, MANKAI Company’s Tsukioka-kun came to mind.

Tooru: When I told that to my friend, he immediately got to watching footage of the Winter Troupe’s performances and seemed to take a liking to Tsukioka-kun. He wanted to offer him a role.

Tooru: But it seems the filming period is soon, and they’ll have to stick to the schedule for quite some time.

Tooru: The Winter Troupe’s performance starts soon, so that might be difficult… Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned Tsukioka-kun so lightly.

Guy: No, I think Tsukioka himself will consider the schedule, so discussing it with him would be a good idea.

Guy: I will also talk to him about it.

Tooru: Really? That would make my friend happy. Thank you.

Tooru: And there’s one more thing…

Tooru: I’ll be the director for this performance next. I would love it if you came to watch.

Guy: Of course I will.

Tooru: I’m so glad. I’ll reserve a seat for you.

Tooru: Also, if your schedule on the same day permits it, could I perhaps have some of your time after the performance? There’s something I would like us to take our time to talk about.

Guy: Okay. I will keep my schedule open.

Bollywood—the glitzy, star-studded heart of the Indian film industry—has captivated the imagination of millions around the world. From aspiring actors and directors to scriptwriters, cinematographers, and marketing professionals, everyone dreams of being part of this vibrant world. But dreams alone aren’t enough.

Understanding Bollywood: More than Just Acting

The institute bridges the gap between academic theory and real-world experience, making it a hub for serious aspirants aiming to enter the Indian film and entertainment industry.

Why Choose a Media Degree that inculcates filmmaking skills?

When it comes to preparing for a career in Bollywood, choosing the right academic institution is crucial. Only a few institutes stand out offering specialized programs that combine theoretical knowledge with practical application.
