CEO of sideB Running classic of comic pod cast Multiplayer who runs comic, criticism and pod cast WORK Webtoon Excuses of dangoe 6 00:00:24.238 --> 00:00:27.334 Hello, my name is Seong Insoo, and I am CEO of sideB 7 00:00:27.334 --> 00:00:29.700 who does many different jobs related to comic 8 00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:33.740 you hear names such as independent comic, diversity comic certainly 9 00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:38.939 when you do the market research to do things related to comic 10 00:00:38.939 --> 00:00:41.980 every time you get it into your head that you want to do it 11 00:00:41.980 --> 00:00:46.980 but then you could be confusing what independent comic is and what diversity comic is 12 00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:49.580 Today, starting from these terms 13 00:00:49.580 --> 00:00:53.299 exercise discernment regarding independent comic and diversity comic 14 00:00:53.299 --> 00:00:58.220 discovering material, direction in accordance with media and how to work 15 00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:03.779 and what support and what point you should agonize and try to develop 16 00:01:03.779 --> 00:01:07.419 I will put together one by one in detail 17 00:01:07.419 --> 00:01:10.900 In this sense, learning goals we're going to cover in this course are 18 00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:14.300 First, understanding independent comic precisely 19 00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:17.059 Second, understanding diversity comic as well 20 00:01:17.059 --> 00:01:21.980 Third, what materials you can use and work at the market 21 00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:25.139 and how you can take the expandability 22 00:01:25.139 --> 00:01:27.739 and what points you need when you work 23 00:01:27.739 --> 00:01:31.132 And finally request I want to tell 24 00:01:31.485 --> 00:01:35.980 Independent comic and diversity comic 25 00:01:35.980 --> 00:01:38.379 First of all, what independent comic is 26 00:01:38.379 --> 00:01:40.419 First, independent culture is 27 00:01:40.419 --> 00:01:44.739 originally means making art alone without the help of capital 28 00:01:44.739 --> 00:01:49.459 In this point of view, independent comic is simply 29 00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:54.820 doing plan, making, distribution, promoting of comic all alone 30 00:01:54.820 --> 00:01:58.620 When we make a comic, first, writer sketch the plan 31 00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:01.620 and discuss it with producer of production studio 32 00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:04.339 or producer of platform 33 00:02:04.339 --> 00:02:07.900 In this process, make logline, Synopsys, character design 34 00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:12.580 some amount of treatment in accordance with each episode and continuity of 1st episode 35 00:02:12.580 --> 00:02:16.899 And if writer gets platform or publishing is decided 36 00:02:16.899 --> 00:02:21.460 then start making draft of 1st episode and real production 37 00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:25.139 and along the conditions of making 38 00:02:25.139 --> 00:02:28.059 and distribute through platform and promote 39 00:02:28.059 --> 00:02:31.500 on main banner of platform gradually 40 00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:36.820 But independent comic means, as the word itself, do all the work alone 41 00:02:36.820 --> 00:02:40.259 and rather than publish on comic specialized platform 42 00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:44.779 but publish on the SNS platforms writer is using 43 00:02:44.779 --> 00:02:47.220 such as instagram, facebook, tweeter 44 00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:52.059 or on open platform where all the comic, novel, illustration 45 00:02:52.059 --> 00:02:55.300 essay, video clips are published 46 00:02:55.300 --> 00:02:59.580 We call these writers as independent cartoonist in Korea 47 00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:04.259 In this point of view, independent comic is rather than in accordance with 48 00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:09.699 form of market but form of writers activity could be the right definition 49 00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:11.220 But in this manner 50 00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:15.139 These days, even all the plan and production are done by writer alone 51 00:03:15.139 --> 00:03:19.699 publishing itself is on various SNS platform running by large capital 52 00:03:19.699 --> 00:03:23.259 as I mentioned earlier, facebook, instagram, tweeter 53 00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:25.940 or open platforms 54 00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:30.300 Theoretically it's hard to exist perfect independent comics 55 00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:33.259 but there are people who has opposite opinion 56 00:03:33.259 --> 00:03:34.940 and I'm one of them 57 00:03:34.940 --> 00:03:38.139 Now in 21st century, using platform 58 00:03:38.139 --> 00:03:40.779 has reached same level of basic rights or welfare 59 00:03:40.779 --> 00:03:45.460 such as protest, rally, publication liberty 60 00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:48.820 Therefore using big platforms to use work 61 00:03:48.820 --> 00:03:52.820 or publishing work using platforms 62 00:03:52.820 --> 00:03:54.899 running by capitals are 63 00:03:54.899 --> 00:03:57.779 if everything else is don alone except that 64 00:03:57.779 --> 00:04:00.059 then it can be seen as independent comics 65 00:04:00.059 --> 00:04:02.740 or it has to be seen as independent comics 66 00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:05.979 These definition changes every time according to the times 67 00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:09.660 I would be grateful if you consider there is a bit of retouching of times 68 00:04:09.660 --> 00:04:13.580 and I very much agree with opinion I mentioned earlier 69 00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:15.179 Because as time changes 70 00:04:15.179 --> 00:04:16.500 market changes 71 00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:18.220 and media and culture change 72 00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:21.260 we need a new regulation 73 00:04:21.260 --> 00:04:23.380 Therefore in these days 74 00:04:23.380 --> 00:04:28.220 independent comic means plan and produce work by writer alone 75 00:04:28.220 --> 00:04:32.739 and publish freely through platform 76 00:04:32.739 --> 00:04:35.700 and use the word that way 77 00:04:35.700 --> 00:04:38.260 Then you would start to doubt one thing 78 00:04:38.260 --> 00:04:42.779 Then even if comics is published on comic specialized platforms such as Naver webtoon or Kakao webtoon 79 00:04:42.779 --> 00:04:45.420 but writer makes it all alone 80 00:04:45.420 --> 00:04:47.739 Then can it be called as independent comics? 81 00:04:47.739 --> 00:04:50.179 Can it be same type of comics? 82 00:04:50.179 --> 00:04:51.899 This is not 83 00:04:51.899 --> 00:04:54.980 While preparing to be a writer 84 00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:58.700 one of the mistake commonly we make 85 00:04:58.700 --> 00:05:00.940 is that thinking comics published on platform 86 00:05:00.940 --> 00:05:04.420 are made by writer all alone 87 00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:06.140 Absolutely not 88 00:05:06.140 --> 00:05:08.660 As I explained earlier, each platforms 89 00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:11.540 have their own basis of work goes well with platform 90 00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:14.940 and specialized producers who are well-informed of that basis 91 00:05:14.940 --> 00:05:17.739 are make comics with writers 92 00:05:17.739 --> 00:05:20.899 Already on this level, writer is working with editor 93 00:05:20.899 --> 00:05:23.980 to seek advice and check the things need to be revised 94 00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:27.540 so we can't say that they are doing this work completely alone 95 00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:30.660 In this manner, comics publishing on this platform 96 00:05:30.660 --> 00:05:32.899 even if it is open platform 97 00:05:32.899 --> 00:05:36.260 Comics that are made with producers of the platform 98 00:05:36.260 --> 00:05:38.380 would not be suitable for the word 99 00:05:38.380 --> 00:05:40.660 independent comics 100 00:05:40.660 --> 00:05:44.420 Then what is diversity comics that are being mentioned a lot 101 00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:46.899 with independent comics 102 00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:48.899 I think it's easier if you think it 103 00:05:48.899 --> 00:05:51.059 as personality of comics 104 00:05:51.059 --> 00:05:55.059 For instance, writers working as independent comic writer 105 00:05:55.059 --> 00:05:57.739 publish genre comics on open platform 106 00:05:57.739 --> 00:06:00.500 this is hard to be considered as diversity comics 107 00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:03.579 Because genre could be a sum of data for a long time 108 00:06:03.579 --> 00:06:06.739 that what kind of technique and settings 109 00:06:06.739 --> 00:06:10.739 need to be in romance, thriller, horror comics 110 00:06:10.739 --> 00:06:13.420 to make readers like it 111 00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:16.899 It could be sum of those proved data 112 00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:18.940 Therefore if there are writers 113 00:06:18.940 --> 00:06:21.660 who make comics alone with these data 114 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:24.660 they could be making independent comics 115 00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:28.899 But if that genre is producing and consuming by many people 116 00:06:28.899 --> 00:06:33.220 then it's hard to call it as diversity comics 117 00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:35.299 Then what the diversity comics is 118 00:06:35.299 --> 00:06:38.019 Every time I think about diversity comics 119 00:06:38.019 --> 00:06:40.940 In my opinion, it's hard to define 120 00:06:40.940 --> 00:06:44.980 I think it's the subject, settings, characters, direction 121 00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:47.579 that are not used these days 122 00:06:47.579 --> 00:06:50.339 In wider view, I think it's other genre comics 123 00:06:50.339 --> 00:06:53.140 that its profits can not be expected 124 00:06:53.140 --> 00:06:57.380 as content it self in market that time 125 00:06:57.380 --> 00:07:01.220 And because the things that I listed before are changing through time 126 00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:04.660 the nature of comics that is mainstream is changing through time 127 00:07:04.660 --> 00:07:08.100 In accordance with lack and desire that occurs from that 128 00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:11.739 therefore the regulation of diversity comics changes through time 129 00:07:11.739 --> 00:07:16.100 For example, when the webtoon appeared first time as the form of official platform 130 00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:20.859 the mainstream was mostly about daily life and comedy 131 00:07:20.859 --> 00:07:24.899 It started as sharing funny story from daily life 132 00:07:24.899 --> 00:07:27.299 and emphasize on board of community 133 00:07:27.299 --> 00:07:31.299 was one side of webtoon and it was transplanted to platform 134 00:07:31.299 --> 00:07:35.459 At that time, well drawn and well directed published comics 135 00:07:35.459 --> 00:07:37.179 were a mainstream 136 00:07:37.179 --> 00:07:41.140 Unlike the comic books compete using high quality paintings and direction 137 00:07:41.140 --> 00:07:45.179 the life toon compete using simple paintings 138 00:07:45.179 --> 00:07:46.899 and fast production and emphasize 139 00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:51.459 was on the place where it can be called as diversity comics at that time 140 00:07:51.459 --> 00:07:55.899 Then when the time the life toon such as the Sound of your heart, Closet fantasia, 141 00:07:55.899 --> 00:08:00.579 Prestigious private jungle high school became general trend and so many life toon was published 142 00:08:00.579 --> 00:08:03.815 No longer the life toon was on the place 143 00:08:03.815 --> 00:08:06.179 can be called diversity comics 144 00:08:06.179 --> 00:08:10.380 Then these days, most comics from studio are made as work of drama 145 00:08:10.380 --> 00:08:14.299 only few of life toons are publishing on platform 146 00:08:14.299 --> 00:08:17.019 Most of others moved to Instagram 147 00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:21.820 and settled down as the form so called instatoon 148 00:08:21.820 --> 00:08:25.380 Meanwhile you can see the status of lifetoon changes 149 00:08:25.380 --> 00:08:27.899 at the beginning, middle and the end 150 00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:31.660 This is what I mentioned earlier, 151 00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:36.500 diversity comics with contemporary characteristic is changing along the times 152 00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:39.900 In that manner, comics in the category of diversity comics are 153 00:08:39.900 --> 00:08:41.739 keep changing 154 00:08:41.739 --> 00:08:44.900 If you're making diversity comics 155 00:08:44.900 --> 00:08:47.099 in the independent comics market 156 00:08:47.099 --> 00:08:50.580 then you need to agonize about the category every time 157 00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:53.940 And to use the word such as supporting business 158 00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:56.460 or exhibit related to diversity comics 159 00:08:56.460 --> 00:09:01.099 we need to think about the category and criteria of diversity comics again 160 00:09:01.099 --> 00:09:05.900 before proceed is good to lower misleading 161 00:09:05.900 --> 00:09:09.940 In summary, independent comics is the word prescribed 162 00:09:09.940 --> 00:09:12.460 in accordance with the form of working of writers 163 00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:15.739 consider independent comics as a criteria 164 00:09:15.739 --> 00:09:19.179 divides the personality of comics along the time 165 00:09:19.978 --> 00:09:24.137 Discovery of material 166 00:09:24.140 --> 00:09:27.619 Now we have to think about what comics would we make 167 00:09:27.619 --> 00:09:29.380 on this kind of basis 168 00:09:29.380 --> 00:09:32.580 As for diversity comics could be a bit different from other genre comics 169 00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:34.859 or independent comics that made by alone 170 00:09:34.859 --> 00:09:38.659 have which kind of personality and which kind of material is used to plan 171 00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:42.580 Let me explain it in detail from now 172 00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:44.460 The first thing we should talk about 173 00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:47.580 is discovery of materials for independent comics and diversity comics 174 00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:50.780 It's same for planning of all kind of comics 175 00:09:50.780 --> 00:09:53.299 Do not forget that we make comics 176 00:09:53.299 --> 00:09:56.140 to deliver a message eventually 177 00:09:56.140 --> 00:09:59.140 And the form of expression to deliver a story entertainingly 178 00:09:59.140 --> 00:10:03.979 are various such as novel, movie, fairy tale, illustration, comics 179 00:10:03.979 --> 00:10:07.700 And using what you can use best 180 00:10:07.700 --> 00:10:10.539 or what you want to use 181 00:10:10.539 --> 00:10:12.500 is general 182 00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:15.539 On the contrary, artist who can use various form of expression 183 00:10:15.539 --> 00:10:19.460 select the form in accordance with story they want to deliver 184 00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:22.780 And if the form has been chosen 185 00:10:22.780 --> 00:10:27.219 we make works using the tools of comics 186 00:10:27.219 --> 00:10:30.419 novels are novel-like, movies are movie-like and comics are comic-like 187 00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:33.340 But there are a material number of usage is increasing 188 00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:35.500 the majority in the market of independent comics 189 00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:37.659 It is self confession epic 190 00:10:37.659 --> 00:10:41.659 which is telling a story based on a unusual experience 191 00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:44.179 that writer had 192 00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:47.900 Self confession epic is what expressing to people with narration 193 00:10:47.900 --> 00:10:49.900 special experience they had 194 00:10:49.900 --> 00:10:53.739 or things could be understood unusually 195 00:10:53.739 --> 00:10:56.940 As for this type of story, we can not say all of them are 196 00:10:56.940 --> 00:10:59.099 but since most of them have low market potential 197 00:10:59.099 --> 00:11:02.380 it has low possibility to be published on specialized platform 198 00:11:02.380 --> 00:11:06.659 the work can not be predicted the star potential of characters 199 00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:10.299 Therefore comics with a story of self confession 200 00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:14.419 are hard to be accepted to existing platforms 201 00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:17.700 Writers are gathering to the market 202 00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:21.179 of independent comics or diversity market 203 00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:24.380 where this type of comics are publishing regardless of profit 204 00:11:24.380 --> 00:11:27.659 and that is what still happening in Korea too 205 00:11:27.659 --> 00:11:31.940 In that manner, for those who want to make comics 206 00:11:31.940 --> 00:11:34.219 in the form of delivering story to the writers quietly with narration 207 00:11:34.219 --> 00:11:38.580 not the one assuring intense commercial potential 208 00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:41.940 Then I recommend to make a story of 209 00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:43.521 your own life and thoughts first 210 00:11:43.521 --> 00:11:47.780 Because all readers read most interestingly 211 00:11:47.780 --> 00:11:51.099 when writers are telling their own story 212 00:11:51.099 --> 00:11:54.820 As for this part, I can not tell exactly on the theoretical way 213 00:11:54.820 --> 00:11:59.059 but readers notice it weirdly 214 00:11:59.059 --> 00:12:01.179 unbelievable but true 215 00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:04.340 And we can think of the reason 216 00:12:04.340 --> 00:12:06.260 why they notice weirdly 217 00:12:06.260 --> 00:12:08.700 and like it differently 218 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:11.979 The thing that I can tell you certainly among them is 219 00:12:11.979 --> 00:12:14.820 that writers saw themselves for the longest time 220 00:12:14.820 --> 00:12:16.700 and understanding 3 dimensional 221 00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:19.780 and making a character behave based on the act 222 00:12:19.780 --> 00:12:22.219 and conclusion they actually made 223 00:12:22.219 --> 00:12:25.299 those depth are unique compare to 224 00:12:25.299 --> 00:12:29.179 the character by the creation that's my opinion 225 00:12:29.179 --> 00:12:32.539 By that point, I think It has high possibility to persuade 226 00:12:32.539 --> 00:12:35.099 character to readers 227 00:12:35.099 --> 00:12:39.260 And another point that it is not only writers 228 00:12:39.260 --> 00:12:41.820 experienced in real life but also 229 00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:44.780 appealing the point that it is confession 230 00:12:44.780 --> 00:12:47.859 Confession usually is telling stories 231 00:12:47.859 --> 00:12:50.500 or saying words that they never could 232 00:12:50.500 --> 00:12:52.739 In that case, it has high possibility 233 00:12:52.739 --> 00:12:57.500 that it is special thing people usually can't have 234 00:12:57.500 --> 00:13:01.179 And once they decide to tell that story to people, 235 00:13:01.179 --> 00:13:04.700 writers will be excited 236 00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:07.419 to focus on the creation 237 00:13:07.419 --> 00:13:11.500 no matter it was good or bad 238 00:13:11.500 --> 00:13:15.020 And readers watching that got excited as well 239 00:13:15.020 --> 00:13:18.500 Therefore the possibility to be read that work increase 240 00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:23.140 In summary, it's hard to assure high commercial potential in independent comics market 241 00:13:23.140 --> 00:13:25.219 but self confession epics 242 00:13:25.219 --> 00:13:30.140 that writers can do best and handle it excitedly exist as majority 243 00:13:30.140 --> 00:13:32.500 If you are thinking of making something 244 00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:35.219 in the independent comics market for the first time 245 00:13:35.219 --> 00:13:38.739 then it would be good to find 246 00:13:38.739 --> 00:13:41.460 that material among your own story 247 00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:43.739 But there is a problem here as well 248 00:13:43.739 --> 00:13:48.179 That self confession epic, once you make 1 or 2 stories 249 00:13:48.179 --> 00:13:50.700 maybe up to 3 then after that 250 00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:55.219 no more of special things left people would interest in 251 00:13:55.219 --> 00:13:57.219 Therefore most of independent comics writers are 252 00:13:57.219 --> 00:14:00.299 debut officially on the comic specialized platform 253 00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:05.020 or if they can't find material for their comics 254 00:14:05.020 --> 00:14:10.460 many of them change their job style into different business through outsourcing 255 00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:13.179 This point is the repeating state 256 00:14:13.179 --> 00:14:16.659 keep circling similar cycles in korean independent comics market 257 00:14:16.659 --> 00:14:18.500 for several years 258 00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:21.219 Then the way of solve this problem 259 00:14:21.219 --> 00:14:24.140 When my self confession epic has ended 260 00:14:24.140 --> 00:14:26.299 Where should I go next 261 00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:28.140 If I don't want to go into commercial market 262 00:14:28.140 --> 00:14:30.500 stay in the independent, diversity comics market 263 00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:34.299 and do something I want to do more 264 00:14:34.299 --> 00:14:37.780 On which point can I find the subject of next one 265 00:14:37.780 --> 00:14:41.179 There is next road on the deficiency commercial writers are making 266 00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:44.140 and lack of contemporary characteristic 267 00:14:44.140 --> 00:14:46.500 So what is contemporary characteristic 268 00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:50.059 The question see through true nature regard of this is 269 00:14:50.059 --> 00:14:53.219 Why should we read this comics? 270 00:14:53.219 --> 00:14:58.140 Or what meaning this comics have for us 271 00:14:58.140 --> 00:15:00.419 answering those questions 272 00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:03.099 The true nature of commercial comics we commonly say 273 00:15:03.099 --> 00:15:07.659 is how much money can we make with this comics now 274 00:15:07.659 --> 00:15:09.179 No investment for comics 275 00:15:09.179 --> 00:15:12.179 are made if this is not assured 276 00:15:12.179 --> 00:15:14.419 But not all of the comics in the world 277 00:15:14.419 --> 00:15:18.580 are made making profit as their greatest purpose 278 00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:21.340 Because independent comics, diversity comics are 279 00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:25.299 the market where readers can meet the comics 280 00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:27.260 that needs to be published now 281 00:15:27.260 --> 00:15:30.500 even if profit regarded purpose is not first priority 282 00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:33.500 Of course there are many comics publishing 283 00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:35.659 without assuring this contemporary characteristic 284 00:15:35.659 --> 00:15:40.059 Self confession epic that I told you earlier is one of that 285 00:15:40.059 --> 00:15:42.419 But in this case, as I mentioned earlier 286 00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:45.299 Make 1 or 2 comics maybe up to 3 287 00:15:45.299 --> 00:15:49.700 then it's hard to maintain the continuous respond and popularity 288 00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:52.539 and profit if the writers or the comics they write 289 00:15:52.539 --> 00:15:56.539 don’t have incredible attraction to people 290 00:15:56.539 --> 00:16:01.219 Because readers would read 1 or 2 times 291 00:16:01.219 --> 00:16:03.700 out of curiosity 292 00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:06.940 about new writers and their stories 293 00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:08.859 But if the stories are repeated 294 00:16:08.859 --> 00:16:10.940 then readers get sick about it 295 00:16:10.940 --> 00:16:13.859 and new writers are keep appearing 296 00:16:13.859 --> 00:16:18.580 therefore not looking for that writer continuously with interest 297 00:16:18.580 --> 00:16:22.820 Eventually what people want is beyond the writer's personal confession epic 298 00:16:22.820 --> 00:16:28.260 comics containing our story, even include readers 299 00:16:28.260 --> 00:16:30.659 the one we all want to emphasize 300 00:16:30.659 --> 00:16:32.619 That's what they want to see 301 00:16:32.619 --> 00:16:37.179 This is the contemporary characteristic comics needs to have 302 00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:42.219 But at this point, Korean independent comics market is experiencing the biggest dilemma 303 00:16:42.219 --> 00:16:45.340 Which is that writers who have finished their confession epic 304 00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:50.140 are seeking out actively worries about contemporary characteristic next 305 00:16:50.140 --> 00:16:52.780 there are some doubtful points 306 00:16:52.780 --> 00:16:55.380 It's because once after their own story ended 307 00:16:55.380 --> 00:16:58.500 not connecting to worries about 308 00:16:58.500 --> 00:17:01.179 making independent, diversity comics 309 00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:05.219 with contemporary characteristic and debate naturally 310 00:17:05.219 --> 00:17:07.260 If I speak bitterly at this point 311 00:17:07.260 --> 00:17:11.859 Of course independent comics market is the place where writers make what they want 312 00:17:11.859 --> 00:17:14.459 But if they just want to make comics they want 313 00:17:14.459 --> 00:17:17.180 Then they can write it on their diary 314 00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:20.619 Eventually comics are making a conversation with people 315 00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:23.979 talking to them because writers have stories want to tell them 316 00:17:23.979 --> 00:17:26.579 Meanwhile if they are writers 317 00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:29.979 aiming to make comics that categorized 318 00:17:29.979 --> 00:17:32.180 in independent, diversity comics 319 00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:36.060 Ultimately after they introduce themselves to people 320 00:17:36.060 --> 00:17:38.979 use the energy that made through communication with each other 321 00:17:38.979 --> 00:17:40.900 and make readers sink into the stories 322 00:17:40.900 --> 00:17:43.699 what writers want to tell 323 00:17:43.699 --> 00:17:47.500 and make reasons why do we have to read this comics together now 324 00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:50.060 that is my opinion 325 00:17:50.060 --> 00:17:53.780 Whatever the content is, when those comics are piled up 326 00:17:53.780 --> 00:17:57.140 critics will have things to say about that comics 327 00:17:57.140 --> 00:17:59.540 Critics having things to say is 328 00:17:59.540 --> 00:18:01.780 being in the spotlight of the media 329 00:18:01.780 --> 00:18:04.780 Then there will be more people, 330 00:18:04.780 --> 00:18:08.500 more readers to know, buy and read it 331 00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:12.260 Which means there will be more people to have conversation with 332 00:18:12.260 --> 00:18:14.859 If so, independent comics market 333 00:18:14.859 --> 00:18:19.260 will take a leap forward and maintain rich system at last 334 00:18:19.260 --> 00:18:22.579 In this sense, telling our story with contemporary characteristic 335 00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:25.540 This is important thing for independent, 336 00:18:25.540 --> 00:18:28.260 diversity comics market as well 337 00:18:28.260 --> 00:18:31.300 This means, I do not know 338 00:18:31.300 --> 00:18:34.180 what you would do in the future 339 00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:38.300 But if you are preparing to work in the independent comics market 340 00:18:38.300 --> 00:18:42.500 of course you have to go through studying and developing your work with personality 341 00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:46.660 and showing it to people and letting people know who you are 342 00:18:46.660 --> 00:18:50.739 But with that, keep communicate to understand the nature of this period 343 00:18:50.739 --> 00:18:55.619 Then you could be a writer who makes conversation with more readers 344 00:18:55.619 --> 00:18:58.020 and you could make comics which will be in more spotlight 345 00:18:58.020 --> 00:19:00.540 I'm sure of that 346 00:19:00.540 --> 00:19:03.819 Another important thing is that observe and use deficiency 347 00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:06.339 from the commercial market 348 00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:11.099 For instance, the cycle of publishing of existing webtoons are very short 349 00:19:11.099 --> 00:19:14.180 Therefore in a lot of instances, becomes studio style production through division of labor 350 00:19:14.180 --> 00:19:16.619 or writer gets assistance 351 00:19:16.619 --> 00:19:20.339 or collaborate with enterprise to make comics 352 00:19:20.339 --> 00:19:23.420 In this case, work partner always can change 353 00:19:23.420 --> 00:19:28.459 And there is a risk to maintain the quality of comics as same as before in short amount of time 354 00:19:28.459 --> 00:19:31.780 Therefore in a lot of case, they produce comics 355 00:19:31.780 --> 00:19:37.140 using some characteristic of the shape of frame or speech bubble in turn 356 00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:39.819 But frames and speech bubbles are only exist in comics 357 00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:43.380 As important tools to make you feel the state 358 00:19:43.380 --> 00:19:46.900 of main character with looks 359 00:19:46.900 --> 00:19:51.060 I think it's pity for you who is consuming webtoon 360 00:19:51.060 --> 00:19:53.219 in many ways that its design has resolvability 361 00:19:53.219 --> 00:19:56.219 because of various reasons 362 00:19:56.219 --> 00:19:59.939 But if we use this issue on the independent comics market 363 00:19:59.939 --> 00:20:05.099 where having spare time and planning many part alone 364 00:20:05.099 --> 00:20:08.739 and show the fun of various frames and speech bubbles 365 00:20:08.739 --> 00:20:11.339 Then surely we can make rare diversity comics 366 00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:14.780 or even the artistic comics 367 00:20:14.780 --> 00:20:20.459 I think this example is one of the way to give fresh fun with contemporary characteristic to readers 368 00:20:20.459 --> 00:20:25.619 using the things getting forgotten when we can do it on comics 369 00:20:25.619 --> 00:20:28.739 And the things we are failing to do when we can do it on comics 370 00:20:28.739 --> 00:20:33.180 while observing rigidity and the deficiency of tools of comics 371 00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:35.939 while observing rigidity and the deficiency of tools of comics 372 00:20:35.939 --> 00:20:40.420 Of course, personal study and practice is very important when you work in the independent comics market 373 00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:43.500 But if you keep an eye on these points through the communication to the world 374 00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:47.300 then you could be a writer who makes much more attractive comics 375 00:20:47.922 --> 00:20:52.229 Expandability of market and working guideline in accordance with media 376 00:20:52.231 --> 00:20:55.579 Now for the next, we talked about independent and diversity comics 377 00:20:55.579 --> 00:20:58.020 and the deficiency of commercial comics 378 00:20:58.020 --> 00:21:01.859 and contemporary characteristic which would be good to be included 379 00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:05.540 Let me tell you something related to media 380 00:21:05.540 --> 00:21:08.780 which can contains independent, diversity comics 381 00:21:08.780 --> 00:21:12.099 And it would be good for you to listen carefully 382 00:21:12.099 --> 00:21:14.819 since it can be used even if it is not for 383 00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:16.939 independent, diversity comics 384 00:21:16.939 --> 00:21:20.819 It's easier to think media as a tool for delivering 385 00:21:20.819 --> 00:21:25.060 Simply there are books or newspapers which contains comics with page 386 00:21:25.060 --> 00:21:27.219 and monitor of pc or smartphone 387 00:21:27.219 --> 00:21:30.500 which is able to contain comics with scroll 388 00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:33.459 However now time has changed and there are several medias 389 00:21:33.459 --> 00:21:36.859 which can contain both comics with page and scroll 390 00:21:36.859 --> 00:21:38.619 For instance, as for comics with page 391 00:21:38.619 --> 00:21:42.540 people not only consuming on physical books 392 00:21:42.540 --> 00:21:45.380 but also on monitor of pc, 393 00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:48.780 smartphone, tablet pc through e-book already 394 00:21:48.780 --> 00:21:52.579 As for comics with scroll, most of readers read on smartphone 395 00:21:52.579 --> 00:21:56.420 but being consumed through monitor of pc or tablet 396 00:21:56.420 --> 00:21:58.660 That's because time has changed that much 397 00:21:58.660 --> 00:22:02.459 and this is not a change only for independent, diversity comics 398 00:22:02.459 --> 00:22:05.260 but the change of media for comics itself 399 00:22:05.260 --> 00:22:09.859 Important thing is that depending on where we contains the work 400 00:22:09.859 --> 00:22:14.219 we have to work thinking of the changes about amount of information 401 00:22:14.219 --> 00:22:16.699 flow of the eyes and tools for feeling 402 00:22:16.699 --> 00:22:20.219 That is what I'm going to tell you a bit today 403 00:22:20.219 --> 00:22:22.660 Let's say comics you want to produce is 404 00:22:22.660 --> 00:22:27.260 the form of comics with scroll we usually call webtoon 405 00:22:27.260 --> 00:22:31.619 then you don't have to worry about flow of eyes on your comics 406 00:22:31.619 --> 00:22:34.739 Webtoons in the past was affected on comic books 407 00:22:34.739 --> 00:22:39.979 therefore flow of eyes is hardly happens on the webtoon reading through smartphone 408 00:22:39.979 --> 00:22:43.699 that the width is similar or shorter than the distance between eyes 409 00:22:43.699 --> 00:22:46.819 Only endless scroll is exist 410 00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:50.500 Therefore as for webtoon with scroll on smartphone 411 00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:53.979 You just work on it rhythmically thinking of vertical flow 412 00:22:53.979 --> 00:22:58.579 only through frames, speech bubbles, onomatopoeic and mimetic words 413 00:22:58.579 --> 00:23:00.459 This is pretty difficult, of course 414 00:23:00.459 --> 00:23:03.780 And the easier it has been, more fun about 415 00:23:03.780 --> 00:23:07.219 solidity of characters or details of story readers want 416 00:23:07.219 --> 00:23:10.420 therefore you should agonize this point 417 00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:14.180 Also if your work is comics with page 418 00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:18.339 you should acknowledge the change in accordance with media 419 00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:21.780 if it is published in book or as e-book 420 00:23:21.780 --> 00:23:24.339 or on smartphone where readers read page by page 421 00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:28.180 For instance, on the book size of Japanese comic book we enjoy 422 00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:30.219 size of most Korean books 423 00:23:30.219 --> 00:23:34.140 when you show comics on the new country version size of book 424 00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:38.140 it directs in the structure of 3 columns and 3rows 425 00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:40.619 and have small space of text and paintings 426 00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:44.579 and we can see well even if it contains a lot of information 427 00:23:44.579 --> 00:23:48.140 But if this comics directed in structure of 3 columns and 3 rows 428 00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:53.900 showing on the smartphone, the size of text becomes poorly readable 429 00:23:53.900 --> 00:23:55.979 Therefore if your comics with page 430 00:23:55.979 --> 00:24:00.500 is shown in the form of turning pages one by one on smartphone 431 00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:04.140 then it would be good for typographic readability 432 00:24:04.140 --> 00:24:07.099 and amount of information to not use existing 3rows 3columns structure 433 00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:10.660 but use paintings designed the shape 434 00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:13.459 with outside line as 3 rows 2 columns structure 435 00:24:13.459 --> 00:24:17.540 Unlike reading on the monitor of PC or book 436 00:24:17.540 --> 00:24:22.300 spreading direction or piercing out on the center direction of comics with page 437 00:24:22.300 --> 00:24:25.459 can not be used on the comics with page 438 00:24:25.459 --> 00:24:29.020 reading page by page on smartphone 439 00:24:29.020 --> 00:24:33.660 This is not confined to independent or diversity of comics 440 00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:36.300 but also affects on all comics with page 441 00:24:36.300 --> 00:24:40.260 it will be good to think of when you work 442 00:24:40.260 --> 00:24:44.579 For the point I have been emphasized several times on direction of comics 443 00:24:44.579 --> 00:24:50.260 I usually say that amount of information in accordance with media, 444 00:24:50.260 --> 00:24:54.387 flow of eyes that makes you read as writer intended and various symbols 445 00:24:54.387 --> 00:24:58.339 to make you feel the state of character are the most important things 446 00:24:58.339 --> 00:25:03.020 If you make comics using what I just told you 447 00:25:03.020 --> 00:25:07.979 would not make outcome rare and weird 448 00:25:07.979 --> 00:25:10.900 so it would be good for you to use it well 449 00:25:10.900 --> 00:25:14.660 And these independent and diversity comics are 450 00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:17.699 usually published randomly 451 00:25:17.699 --> 00:25:21.140 on open platform or instatoon these days 452 00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:24.459 As for diversity comics, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is 453 00:25:24.459 --> 00:25:27.380 and as for diversity comics, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is 454 00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:34.099 of webtoon and comic book through diversity comics supporting business 455 00:25:34.099 --> 00:25:39.099 If you use it well, then it would be helpful for you writers 456 00:25:39.099 --> 00:25:43.500 who is going to show comics with contemporary characteristic 457 00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:47.219 which was listed before to the world even if it is less commercial 458 00:25:47.219 --> 00:25:50.380 The support fund of this supporting business is 459 00:25:50.380 --> 00:25:53.660 minimum of 1.4 million won to maximum of 2.3 million won 460 00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:56.380 You could be paid pretty high for your comics 461 00:25:56.380 --> 00:25:59.420 So I recommend you to participate it 462 00:25:59.420 --> 00:26:02.420 It announce every February 463 00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:06.579 and close at the beginning of March and announce the result on April 464 00:26:06.579 --> 00:26:10.619 so I hope it helps you to work 465 00:26:10.619 --> 00:26:13.140 Before such writers start to work 466 00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:17.416 there are 3 things you should think of 467 00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:19.780 First is profitability 468 00:26:19.780 --> 00:26:22.699 Second is continuity, third is 469 00:26:22.699 --> 00:26:25.699 ability to promote yourself 470 00:26:25.699 --> 00:26:28.459 As for profitability 471 00:26:28.459 --> 00:26:31.939 independent or diversity comics are 472 00:26:31.939 --> 00:26:35.739 sometimes make a fortune 473 00:26:35.739 --> 00:26:40.459 but most of working doesn't guarantee profit immediately 474 00:26:40.459 --> 00:26:43.459 And if you have personality something different 475 00:26:43.459 --> 00:26:45.579 then it could take much longer time 476 00:26:45.579 --> 00:26:47.780 for readers to discover you 477 00:26:47.780 --> 00:26:51.060 Readers discover you, become familiar 478 00:26:51.060 --> 00:26:53.420 and have a good feeling 479 00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:55.339 It could take few months in short 480 00:26:55.339 --> 00:26:58.300 but it could takes few years in long 481 00:26:58.300 --> 00:27:01.699 Therefore do not think of making money from comics 482 00:27:01.699 --> 00:27:04.060 or making it work in short term 483 00:27:04.060 --> 00:27:07.780 and make profit with comics 484 00:27:07.780 --> 00:27:10.819 it's great for you to make other way 485 00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:14.979 to earn money so that you can last 486 00:27:14.979 --> 00:27:16.819 until that day comes 487 00:27:16.819 --> 00:27:19.339 But one thing you need to be careful 488 00:27:19.339 --> 00:27:22.500 I hope the way of making money 489 00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:25.420 is not drawing 490 00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:29.699 Because there's certain amount of energy person can put into paintings 491 00:27:29.699 --> 00:27:33.099 and if you use it to private institute of art or comics 492 00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:35.020 some where like that 493 00:27:35.020 --> 00:27:37.819 then when you come back home for your private work 494 00:27:37.819 --> 00:27:41.140 there is high possibility to not having energy to draw 495 00:27:41.140 --> 00:27:44.060 and I saw those people quite a lot 496 00:27:44.060 --> 00:27:48.219 Therefore as long as you are planning to show diversity comics 497 00:27:48.219 --> 00:27:52.260 as a independent comic writer and want to make a place 498 00:27:52.260 --> 00:27:54.579 to earn money until readers find you 499 00:27:54.579 --> 00:27:58.859 then it will be good to find other way than drawing 500 00:27:58.859 --> 00:28:01.099 No one know how long it would take 501 00:28:01.099 --> 00:28:03.540 how many years it would take on this point 502 00:28:03.540 --> 00:28:07.339 So I want to emphasize you not to underestimate 503 00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:10.619 Let me tell you one more thing for caution's sake on this point 504 00:28:10.619 --> 00:28:14.500 Thoughts of I won't make any money, I'll just focus on works 505 00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:17.180 or if you don't get more sensitive but duller 506 00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:19.780 about coming money in periodically 507 00:28:19.780 --> 00:28:22.099 Then you will lose your social skills 508 00:28:22.099 --> 00:28:24.660 and lose ability to get information 509 00:28:24.660 --> 00:28:27.420 of deficiency of tools and contemporary characteristic 510 00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:31.219 explained earlier and discuss and think as well 511 00:28:31.219 --> 00:28:33.500 If so, then you would face difficulty in many point 512 00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:36.459 when you make good independent comics 513 00:28:36.459 --> 00:28:40.819 Therefore make sure you have place to make money 514 00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:44.219 and communicate with many people with that money 515 00:28:44.219 --> 00:28:46.619 Second is the continuity of work 516 00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:48.420 This is very important as well 517 00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:52.219 When watch variety show or drama or webtoon 518 00:28:52.219 --> 00:28:54.459 if we got behind in a week makes you anxious 519 00:28:54.459 --> 00:28:56.939 and irritated 520 00:28:56.939 --> 00:29:00.500 It's same for readers who read our comics 521 00:29:00.500 --> 00:29:05.140 In that sense, if you have a cycle to publish 522 00:29:05.140 --> 00:29:08.380 then you should keep it that cycle with readers 523 00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:12.339 and keep update comics in accordance with that cycle 524 00:29:12.339 --> 00:29:14.540 If this continuity is not guaranteed 525 00:29:14.540 --> 00:29:17.739 then you will lose reader's trust 526 00:29:17.739 --> 00:29:21.180 Then readers wouldn't read your work a lot 527 00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:24.380 But what I want to tell you on this point 528 00:29:24.380 --> 00:29:28.819 is that you don't have to overstrain to make the continuity tight 529 00:29:28.819 --> 00:29:31.780 I see a lot of case of promising 530 00:29:31.780 --> 00:29:34.780 one episode a week to follow the cycle 531 00:29:34.780 --> 00:29:38.500 of general webtoon and couldn't keep it 532 00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:43.819 That is rather an injury to the communication between readers and writer 533 00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:46.780 Therefore, for instance, you will upload one episode every two weeks 534 00:29:46.780 --> 00:29:48.500 Two weeks are 14 days 535 00:29:48.500 --> 00:29:51.060 If you say one episode per 14 days then stick to it 536 00:29:51.060 --> 00:29:54.140 Or once every 15 days then keep it 537 00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:56.180 Or make it longer to a month 538 00:29:56.180 --> 00:30:00.339 or publishing or showing according to your schedule and condition 539 00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:01.939 will be more efficient 540 00:30:01.939 --> 00:30:04.540 If you open your work on cycle 541 00:30:04.540 --> 00:30:06.979 then readers wait for you enough 542 00:30:06.979 --> 00:30:09.219 So to keep the continuity like this 543 00:30:09.219 --> 00:30:13.619 you shouldn't stay at home among the working days 544 00:30:13.619 --> 00:30:15.780 This is the point I keep emphasizing 545 00:30:15.780 --> 00:30:19.619 Make sure you come out and spend time with colleagues 546 00:30:19.619 --> 00:30:22.819 who can have a conversation about comics often 547 00:30:22.819 --> 00:30:26.020 Then you will gain new energy 548 00:30:26.020 --> 00:30:29.979 If so, it is much easier to keep upload cycle 549 00:30:29.979 --> 00:30:31.859 But you would probably have 550 00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:33.579 an impression around this point 551 00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:36.900 that you don’t know if you could make it on cycle 552 00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:40.060 even if you keep stay in home and make comics 553 00:30:40.060 --> 00:30:42.780 so why are you telling me to go and meet colleagues 554 00:30:42.780 --> 00:30:46.380 The reason that I keep emphasizing several times 555 00:30:46.380 --> 00:30:49.819 is that you can gain new energy of creation 556 00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:53.339 while discuss with colleagues or from new information 557 00:30:53.339 --> 00:30:57.339 Colleagues that I'm mentioning is not friends 558 00:30:57.339 --> 00:31:02.780 Friends are people who can have a conversation about this and that with friendly in private 559 00:31:02.780 --> 00:31:06.859 But colleagues are in your profession, comics in this case 560 00:31:06.859 --> 00:31:10.859 People sharing fun and each other's troubles 561 00:31:10.859 --> 00:31:13.939 having conversation about or related to comics 562 00:31:13.939 --> 00:31:16.859 Of course, colleagues can be friends 563 00:31:16.859 --> 00:31:21.420 but all the close friends can not be colleagues 564 00:31:21.420 --> 00:31:24.459 In that sense, keep good colleagues around 565 00:31:24.459 --> 00:31:26.219 and do not communicate on-line 566 00:31:26.219 --> 00:31:30.540 meet offline to share various stories 567 00:31:30.540 --> 00:31:33.099 Clearly this is very precious refresh 568 00:31:33.099 --> 00:31:36.099 and it will return as the important energy 569 00:31:36.099 --> 00:31:41.260 It will make you an environment to make money from various place 570 00:31:41.260 --> 00:31:47.459 And through this energy will help you to make up your mind that I'll try hard 571 00:31:47.459 --> 00:31:52.979 and it will help you more to keep the update cycle you promised 572 00:31:52.979 --> 00:31:56.260 Lastly, it's self promotion 573 00:31:56.260 --> 00:31:58.180 As for this point, I know there are 574 00:31:58.180 --> 00:31:59.859 many of you who says I don't know how to promote 575 00:31:59.859 --> 00:32:02.819 It's really hard for me to go out and speak 576 00:32:02.819 --> 00:32:04.660 in front of someone 577 00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:06.780 What I emphasized earlier is important 578 00:32:06.780 --> 00:32:09.420 but work as independent comic writers 579 00:32:09.420 --> 00:32:12.579 this promote takes really big part 580 00:32:12.579 --> 00:32:16.540 Because independent comic writers have to do all by themselves 581 00:32:16.540 --> 00:32:18.979 So there are a lot of thing to do 582 00:32:18.979 --> 00:32:21.803 But on the contrary, if success 583 00:32:21.803 --> 00:32:23.979 there are difficult part since doing it alone 584 00:32:23.979 --> 00:32:28.020 but if success then they can have all the profit 585 00:32:28.020 --> 00:32:31.780 to be successful or get a lot of profit 586 00:32:31.780 --> 00:32:33.219 Being successful here means 587 00:32:33.219 -->
