We all start life as one single cell.

我們的生命都由單一細胞開始

Then that cell divides and we are two cells,

然後細胞分裂成兩個

then four,

然後四個

then eight.

然後八個

Cells form tissues,

細胞形成了組織

tissues form organs,

組織形成了器官

organs form us.

器官形成了我們

"So, how did you guys decide, like,

「你們是怎麼決定，比方說，

what style to use when animating this video?"

做這個動畫要用什麼風格？」

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

「我看完劇本後，

I was thinking a lot about food."

本來想了很多食品的東西。」

"Were you hungry?"

"I was hungry probably because I always am.

「你餓了嗎？」

「我餓了，可能因為我總是很餓。

But, yeah, I was thinking about healthy food

但我那時在想健康食品，

and thinking of how can I use material,

想著我要怎樣運用材料，

how could I actually materialize that cell,

怎樣把細胞實體化，

the cancer cell and the healthy cell.

包括腫瘤細胞和健康細胞。

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

我決定用穀粒和種子代表健康細胞

and, then, for the cancer cells, actually,

實際上，癌細胞

we decided to use candy.

我們決定用糖果代表。

We did a little short animation before this

之前，我們做過一部動畫短片，

when we were using different color jelly beans

我們使用不同顏色的雷根糖

to animate bacteria,

製作動畫的細菌，

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

所以我想，嗯，我們可以用這個。

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

不過用雷根糖當細胞，

a little too big to construct this cell.

其實有點太大了，

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

所以我決定用更小的東西，

and we found Nerds.

我們發現碎碎糖 (Nerds)，

Lisa can actually tell you a little more about

麗莎 (Lisa) 會告訴你一些

how she designed each cell."

她是怎樣設計每個細胞的。」

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

「是啊，那時我們有各式各樣的

of seeds and candy Nerds in front of us.

種子和碎碎糖在我們面前，

So, we actually ended up using

我們實際最後決定使用

buckwheat and lentils for the healthy cells.

蕎麥和扁豆作為健康細胞。

And then for the candy Nerds,

關於碎碎糖，

they were really a perfect size.

大小真是完美。

We got to play with the colors

我們開始玩顏色，

and switch them around to make those cells

變來變去，讓這些細胞

look a little more alive like they were constantly changing.

不斷變化，看起來更生動。

So, it really had a more erratic look

所以它看起來比較奇怪

than the seeds, which were natural colors,

不像種子是天然的顏色，

but that would also stay consistent throughout."

但仍然維持穩定。」

"Are these actually?"

「真的就是這些嗎？」

"Those are the actual things.

「真的就是這些。

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

因此，你看這些，共有

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

粉紅色、橘色、黃色、綠色、 各種顏色。

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

我想創造的癌細胞形象

as something that is bad.

是個壞東西，

So, we actually shot these things as they are

我們實際上先以現況拍攝這些東西，

and then changed the hue in the computer

然後在電腦裡改變色相，

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

變得更霓虹藍，看起來好像有毒。」

"And it wasn't just food, right?

「不只是食物，對不對？

There were also other materials that you guys used?"

你們還有用其他材料，對嗎？」

"Right."

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

「對。」

「影片中有一段

that talked about tissue and organs

談到組織和器官，

and I stayed within that same idea

我還是依照同樣的思路

and thought like, 'Which natural material I can use

想著：『我要用什麼天然材料

to construct these objects?'

來建構這些物體？』

And then I think for the tissue,

然後我想到 組織的部份

we used something that was like a lacy pattern,

我們可以用像蕾絲花邊之類的東西；

and then for the rest of it,

而其餘部分

it was mostly knitted yarn

則主要用針織紗

or crocheted yarn.

或鉤織紗。

So, those were the materials.

就是這些材料

So, we will see in the human body,

我們用在人體上，

because we do not really have the skills or the time

因為我們真的沒有技能或時間

to actually crochet these things,

實際用鉤針編織這些東西，

our artist, Celeste, actually crocheted her organs

我們的畫家賴仙耘 (Celeste Lai) 其實是用 Photoshop

in Photoshop.

編織出這些器官。

So, we would take these patterns from some stock

我們從一些線上圖庫

that we found online,

找到這些花樣，

and she did step-by-step

她再一步一步的修正，

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

她真的就……就像是 把它變成器官的形狀。

So, those were the materials we used."

所以，這些就是我們所用的材料。」
