As an artist, you might encounter some difficulty initially, but the more you expose the nasses to new heights, the more they become accustomed to higher consciousness.<BR/><BR/>If you're an artist and a practitioner in both films and komiks, have more patience.<BR/><BR/>There is an old saying in Spanish: "la paciencia todo lo alcanza"<BR/>patience conquers everything.<BR/><BR/>Keep creating good quality work whatever it is that you love to do.TheCoolCanadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196452866916000202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455550222598558944.post-80051105444571526772008-05-06T11:51:00.000-07:002008-05-06T11:51:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.TheCoolCanadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196452866916000202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455550222598558944.post-30809513146710593722008-05-06T07:52:00.000-07:002008-05-06T07:52:00.000-07:00Well also blame the red-neck uneducated masses who...Well also blame the red-neck uneducated masses who embrace this sh!t.. and spend their money on crap. thats why the Filipino movie industry is still at (infant-stage).. maybe after 20 years when the red-neck mediocre masses have died-off will the movie industry start its progress.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663392837041559569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455550222598558944.post-63542512662571962062008-01-05T11:58:00.000-08:002008-01-05T11:58:00.000-08:00That's exactly what my point is.His research shoul...That's exactly what my point is.<BR/>His research should be more thorough, that he shouldn't accept one written article he had read as the ultimate representation of the fact in question. Check what were written worldwide and based your conclusion from it. <BR/><BR/>Indeed, during the Martial Law years, some Filipino movies produced were quite good and many of them were based on komiks serials.<BR/><BR/>Aklas Isip seems to be too literal, that when I only included 5 samples of good komiks writing, he twisted it by saying that five samplers are not good enough. I gather that what he really wants me to do is make the list of ALL the good ones, no matter if the number reaches 100 or so.TheCoolCanadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196452866916000202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455550222598558944.post-11296444911600506582008-01-05T10:31:00.000-08:002008-01-05T10:31:00.000-08:00One major flaw in Aklas Isip's critique of your ar...One major flaw in Aklas Isip's critique of your article in Randy's book is that rich works of literary art (including comics and film) do not flourish under a repressive regime. I have not in fact seen any correlation between the richness of a society's artistic output and the degree to which they have a liberal democracy.<BR/><BR/>Just take a look at the 1000 greatest films of the web site "They Shoot Pictures, Don't They" (http://www.theyshootpictures.com/gf1000.htm) and you'll see that among the list are films from the USSR, Iran, Hungary, Poland, and others during they years these countries were under repressive religious or Communist rule.Robby Villabonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102565490559281179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455550222598558944.post-40464707784565988772008-01-04T00:25:00.000-08:002008-01-04T00:25:00.000-08:00Hi Ted:You're absolutely right.

The publishers have the funds and they always try to dictate the writers and the illustrators.<BR/><BR/>But guess what? If you insist as an artist and let them see that what you want to do will put the industry on a higher pedestal, they actually listen sometimes. You lose some, you win some, but the most important thing is to nudge them from time to time. As artists, we have to keep pushing the envelope, because if we don't, the industry will end up way deep down the gutter.<BR/><BR/>Now, you may not have heard of the "swimming pool technique" but most probably you've heard of Konstantin Stanislavsky (1863- 1938)?<BR/><BR/>His process of character development, the "Stanislavski Method", was the catalyst for METHOD ACTING, the most influential acting system on the modern stage and screen.<BR/><BR/>Method acting confronts the question of: To feel, or not to feel.<BR/><BR/>In method acting, the actor "goes inside" the mind of the character he is portraying, hence the "To feel" aspect.<BR/><BR/>In mechanical acting (which is solely based upon techniques - as in there is a technique how to cry, how to laugh, how to get mad, etc.). A very good example of a non-method actor is KARL MALDEN of the STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO TV series. He is a very good actor, he will play his role 365 days a year very competently, yet he does not "go in" unlike MARLON BRANDO who "goes in" to think like the character.<BR/><BR/>We can say therefore, that in Method acting, the actor BECOMES the character himself, and therefore, there are more nuances, surprises, sometimes even shock value – because the audience sees the character as a unique entity and therefore unforgettable. Try to recall how Marlon Brando played the demigod in APOCALYPE NOW and you'll realize how MEMORABLE that character is.<BR/><BR/>The "Swimming pool technique" is one exercise that every method actor does before tackling a character. You stretch out in a couch (as if you're in a floating device in the swimming pool), and you begin to tense your head, down to your neck, shoulders,arms, hands, chest, stomach, crotch, thighs, legs, feet, then toes. Using this exercise, your body becomes more flexible when you move around to act. This is the equivalent of "Voicing" that singers do to prepare their voices for a concert.<BR/><BR/>Another good discipline for an actor is Martial Arts and swimming. They'll make your body quite flexible.<BR/><BR/>And since the tools of an actor are: VOICE and BODY, doing the swimming pool technique and martial arts will take care of the body side. For the voice, you lie down on the floor, place several books on your tummy, and you speak and must make the books move. This is how you practice speaking using your diaphragm, and not your throat like most people do.<BR/><BR/>Acting is a serious preoccupation. And it is very disheartening when our local actors don't bother to learn their craft. I can name names who uses the method acting in local films: the late Vic Silayan, Lolita Rodriguez, the late Charito Solis, Tommy Abuel, Nick Agudo, Angie Ferro, the late Pancho Magalona, the late Sarah Joaquin (Itim - with Charo Santos), and Cecille Guidote (now Alvarez).<BR/><BR/>The likes of Christopher de Leon, Bembol Rocco, Nora Aunor, Vilma Santos and Manoy Eddie Garcia – they're all mechanical actors, but very competent. Can you imagine if they decide to go the Stanislavsky way?TheCoolCanadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196452866916000202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455550222598558944.post-67742134079504632152008-01-03T23:34:00.000-08:002008-01-03T23:34:00.000-08:00Whats a 'Swimming Pool' Technique?One reason why P...Whats a 'Swimming Pool' Technique?<BR/><BR/>One reason why Pinoy Cinema is because of how strong the influence a producer has on a film. While not necessarily adept in film or scriptwriting, since they hold the money, whatever they say goes. Even if you write an award winning script, if you don't tweak it to suit the producer's fancy, they'll just find someone else who would do the dirty work.Teddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163044299791503104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455550222598558944.post-68776731958823615722008-01-03T20:44:00.000-08:002008-01-03T20:44:00.000-08:00Rey:I can't blame you for being disilussioned abou...Rey:<BR/><BR/>I can't blame you for being disilussioned about our local films.
