Introduce Yourself : From Medicine to Storytelling—Diving into VFX & Scriptwriting by Tama Lak

From Medicine to Storytelling—Diving into VFX & Scriptwriting

Hi everyone! I’m Tama, a general practitioner with a growing passion for visual storytelling. I’ve always been fascinated by the creative process behind epic series like The Rings of Power and The Lord of the Rings. Lately, I’ve started exploring VFX, CGI, and scriptwriting, and I’m excited to dive deeper into this incredible world.

I’m here to learn, connect, and hear about your journeys. Any advice or resources for someone just starting out would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking forward to being part of this inspiring community and growing alongside all of you!

Welcome. That's a broad swath of topics you're exploring. All I can say is: the devil is in the details. Get to know them. As a I writer (on top of a day job), I've been reading a script each week and a well-written one regardless of genre will inform your own writing regardless of genre. For one, I can't stand rom-coms but found "When Harry Met Sally" to be a superb script - pacing, scene choice, structure - if a bit dated, it's from 1989 with blocky typewriter font and some massive text blobs.

Cheers.

Welcome to the community, Tama Lak. It's great to meet you. Here's a blog that'll help you navigate Stage 32: www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

And Stage 32 has two blogs for up-and-coming screenwriters:

I think the best place to find advice and resources for VFX would be the Filmmaking/Directing Lounge (www.stage32.com/lounge/directing).

And you could check the Post-Production Lounge for advice and resources for CGI (www.stage32.com/lounge/post_production).

Am working on a series that would interest you with Noel Studios in TN. It involves the latest advances in medicine.

Welcome to the community, Tama Lak ! There are a ton of resources on this site for you. Check out the writers and animation lounges to find people who are experts in the fields you're exploring. Reading scripts is a great way to learn. I would also recommend books like "The Writer's Journey", "Screenplay", "Story", and "Save the Cat." those are just a few, but they're a great way to get started. I have some experience working in VFX and in animation. Feel free to PM me.
