Aof talking on live about 'My Merman' and how brave First was to face his fear of water:
Aof: "My Merman", was a project that... we thought of together, like... I wanted to do something with mermen, and then we found this novel, "Aqua". But we realized that... we wouldn't be able to do it that way, for sure. So we talked, and according to what the novel's author explained, we felt that we didn't want to make it seem like we were taking advantage or anything like that, so we talked openly: "Alright, we'll use the inspiration from this character, but we want to create our own story, rewrite it, change some things," and things like that, you know? Thank you very much to the author for giving us this opportunity and understanding our side on this, you know.
We felt like, okay, we... wanted to do something new. It's just that we thought of this project a long time ago, and I tried to talk to First a lot because I know he is terrified of water. So I was worried that he wouldn't feel comfortable acting in it, so we talked often until he said: "Alright, P'Aof, I'll fight, I'll try". And I have to respect his courage a lot. Would you believe that I prepared a stand-in for everything for Firstone, so he could only do the scenes where his face needed to be shown and that's it? Because I was afraid that he... would get scared and not be able to act properly. But First fought hard, he fought so hard that on that day he almost... he did almost everything himself.
Everything really, he said "I can do it". He swam, he spun around. Nong really did everything that day, he gave it his all, First. It's... amazing, really amazing. And he did so well that I didn't even need to use the stand-in for anything, because Firstone did it all! I was impressed. We had even talked about using CG here and there for sure, First wouldn't be able to do this or that, and in the end he fought hard, guys, and the result was so beautiful. It looked very realistic, but we heard the feedback about the outfit, and there might have been a slight mistake there, in the end, after it was done, it didn't look the way we thought it would, but we will definitely adjust the actual outfit, yeah
I also talked to Ton: "Okay, about this... we want to support the dream of being a singing duo too", and as everyone can see, no matter what the story is, we will try to make Nong's character fit into what we've created.
And it's fun, very fun. But I admit that directing this series is very hard, because the location and everything else, he fought hard. That scene where they're sitting down singing... we had very little time, the sunlight was fading, the tide was coming in, and the crew fell off the rock, got hurt. It was really tough. Later on, for the actual shoot, we'll have to rethink how we're going to adapt.
But I think everyone will have fun with this. We have to make this bring a new dimension to our industry, because singing is already something our boys do very well, right? And the songs are great, don't you think? Very good.
