@hollow otter @topaz monolith this is not okay

Ok but like… what is the show about?

#

My advice is to work out characters rather than focusing on the factions so there is some sense of relatability.

# mystic vine a timelineal war

I am also co writing a large scale show with a bunch of timelines (that doesn't matter tho). My advice would be to to scale everything back and stay focused on what you need to work on now: the characters, the setting/world, and the bare bones plot. THAT IS IT. Don't worry about selling it, the process of making it after writing, and NO screenwriting. It's a waste of energy and time. First, flesh out characters and their arcs, the themes of the show, and build up an interesting world that compliments the themes and characters. You NEED strong and compelling characters for anybody to give a crap about your show. What are their goals? What do they want vs need? What is their internal struggle? After you do that, ideally, the characters should drive the plot from then on. Finally, you may not like this, but you should start over. It will help give you a fresh outlook on it. Also, find a friend that would be interested in helping you write. It makes writing more fun, way easier, and there is constant feedback from each other. If you really want to make this show, don't give up. Good luck.

# mystic vine Yee, thx, I gave up and decided to make a movie on smth else lel

Watch a bunch of YouTube videos on writing as well. It'll help a lot. Remember, don't get ahead of yourself. It's a lot of work. You won't get anywhere thinking about the future of your project. I believe you have the drive to make it in the industry tho. I was impressed with how much you got down for the show. Putting something on the page is the best start you can get.

# mystic vine Thx, I just was having trouble with character, but after learning a bit from oth...

1.What do they believe they want and why?
2.Why don’t they have what they believe they want yet? OR If they have what they believe they want already, why aren’t they happy?
3.What do they actually need in order to be happy?
4.What fears and/or false beliefs that fuel their want stop them from getting what they need?
*Here's a character questionnaire I made for myself to create three dimensional characters. It helped me a lot. Gets you thinking deeper about them.

My friend and I have been working on the first act of the pilot for two months now. Also general planning and worldbuilding.

mystic vine
#

Yep

#

I'm trying to plan out what happens in the movie

#

Rn i have characters and how they act

#

And the world building, which is 1900s europe and the world called eden, which is like the garden of eden

#

I'm trying to plan out how the events can roll out into the story

#

Like how ww1 affects them in a specific way

#

Or how they get to the overworld

mystic vine
#

Cool

lone gate
#

The first season will be a sort of noir mystery

mystic vine
#

Nice a mystery!

#

For me, I have a what if:

#

What if: demihumans help impact world war 1

#

Which is basically the blandest way I could way it

lone gate
#

WW1 with a fantasy twist

mystic vine
#

Yep

#

I dont really know any animes that have done that

#

So, im making sure to stay original with it

#

and yes, its gonna be an anime movie

lone gate
#

It is said that the greatest artists steal. It's only a matter of expanding and improving on the ideas you take. If you don't, then it's stealing lol.

mystic vine
#

Yep

#

I did however figure out that there is an anime with wolf clan

#

But its not made up of demi humans

lone gate
#

What are your favorite movies? And do you have Letterboxd?

mystic vine
#

The thing I'm also adding different is that im focusing on the story of the demihumans and not just plain humans
