We all start life as one single cell.

我们的生命都从一个细胞开始。

Then that cell divides and we are two cells,

细胞分裂成两个，

then four,

然后四个，

then eight.

然后八个。

Cells form tissues,

细胞构成组织，

tissues form organs,

组织形成器官，

organs form us.

器官构成人体。

"So, how did you guys decide, like,

“那么你们是如何决定，比方说

what style to use when animating this video?"

这个视频将采用什么风格？”

"I, originally, when I was reading the script,

“起初我在读剧本时，

I was thinking a lot about food."

我想到很多关于食物的东西。”

"Were you hungry?"

"I was hungry probably because I always am.

“你当时很饿吗？”

“我饿了，可能因为我一直都很饿。

But, yeah, I was thinking about healthy food

但我想到的是健康食品，

and thinking of how can I use material,

以及我怎样运用材料，

how could I actually materialize that cell,

来使细胞实体化，

the cancer cell and the healthy cell.

包括癌细胞和健康细胞。

So, I decided to use grain and seeds for healthy cells

最后我决定用谷物和种子 代表健康细胞，

and, then, for the cancer cells, actually,

而癌细胞，

we decided to use candy.

我们决定用糖果代表。

We did a little short animation before this

我们在做这个之前做过一个动画，

when we were using different color jelly beans

但是用不同颜色的软心豆粒糖

to animate bacteria,

来表示细菌，

so I thought, 'Oh, well, we can use that.'

所以我想，‘恩，我们可以用这个。’

But, then, the jelly beans were actually, like,

但是，软心豆粒糖实际上

a little too big to construct this cell.

构成细胞显得有点太大了。

And, so, I decided to go with something smaller,

所以，我们决定找小一点的东西，

and we found Nerds.

我们找到了碎碎糖。

Lisa can actually tell you a little more about

丽莎会告诉你

how she designed each cell."

她是如何设计每个细胞的。”

"Yeah, when we were, we had a whole collection

“是的。当时我们眼前摆放着

of seeds and candy Nerds in front of us.

各种种子和碎碎糖。

So, we actually ended up using

我们决定使用

buckwheat and lentils for the healthy cells.

荞麦和小扁豆代表健康细胞。

And then for the candy Nerds,

而碎碎糖，

they were really a perfect size.

它们的大小正合适。

We got to play with the colors

我们开始根据颜色分类，

and switch them around to make those cells

调整位置，来呈现出

look a little more alive like they were constantly changing.

一种细胞在不断变化的感觉。

So, it really had a more erratic look

所以他们跟种子的自然色彩

than the seeds, which were natural colors,

比起来显得更古怪，

but that would also stay consistent throughout."

但是他们在视频中 一直保持稳定的颜色。”

"Are these actually?"

“这些是？”

"Those are the actual things.

“就是这些。

So, those, as you see, probably, like, come in

所以，你看这些颜色有

pink, orange, yellow, green, all these colors.

粉色，橘色，黄色，绿色。

So, I wanted to create the image of a cancer cell

我想呈现一个癌细胞的画面，

as something that is bad.

表示变坏的物质。

So, we actually shot these things as they are

实际上我们先按照原样拍摄，

and then changed the hue in the computer

然后通过电脑调色，

so they appear more neon blue and toxic in a way."

使他们呈现出翡翠蓝色， 显得有毒。”

"And it wasn't just food, right?

“你们不只用了食物，对吗？

There were also other materials that you guys used?"

还使用了其他的材料？”

"Right."

"There was, so there was a part in the video

“没错。”

“视频中的一部分，

that talked about tissue and organs

讲到组织和器官，

and I stayed within that same idea

我依照原先的思路，

and thought like, 'Which natural material I can use

想着‘什么自然材料可以用来

to construct these objects?'

构建这些东西？’

And then I think for the tissue,

我觉得，针对组织，

we used something that was like a lacy pattern,

我们可以用类似蕾丝图案代表，

and then for the rest of it,

而其余部分，

it was mostly knitted yarn

多是用针织纱，

or crocheted yarn.

或是钩织纱代表。

So, those were the materials.

就是这些材料。

So, we will see in the human body,

我们把这些材料用在人体上，

because we do not really have the skills or the time

因为我们不会编织，

to actually crochet these things,

也没有时间去织这些东西，

our artist, Celeste, actually crocheted her organs

我们的美术家Celeste通过Photoshop

in Photoshop.

编织出了她的器官。

So, we would take these patterns from some stock

所以说， 我们是通过网上的图库

that we found online,

找到一些图案，

and she did step-by-step

然后她把这些图案

and she actually, like, made it into the shape of an organ.

一步一步修改调整， 组成一个器官的形状。

So, those were the materials we used."

所以，这些就是我们所用的材料。”
