Thomas Hellum: The world's most boring television ... and why it's hilariously addictive

Prevoditelj: Anja Kolobarić Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

I have only got 18 minutes

Imam samo 18 minuta

to explain something that lasts for hours and days,

da vam objasnim nešto što traje satima i danima,

so I'd better get started.

pa bolje da počnem.

Let's start with a clip from Al Jazeera's Listening Post.

Za početak, evo priloga iz Al Jazeerinog Listening Posta.

Richard Gizbert: Norway is a country that gets relatively little media coverage.

Richard Gizbert: Norveška je relativno rijetko prisutna u medijima.

Even the elections this past week passed without much drama.

Čak su i prošlotjedni izbori prošli bez puno drame.

And that's the Norwegian media in a nutshell:

I takvi su, ukratko, norveški mediji:

not much drama.

bez puno drame.

A few years back,

Prije nekoliko godina,

Norway's public TV channel NRK

Norveška javna televizija NRK

decided to broadcast live coverage of a seven-hour train ride --

odlučila je uživo emitirati prijenos sedmosatne vožnje vlakom --

seven hours of simple footage,

sedam sati jednostavnih snimki

a train rolling down the tracks.

vlaka kako klizi tračnicama.

Norwegians, more than a million of them according to the ratings, loved it.

Prema istraživanjima gledanosti to je oduševilo više od milijun Norvežana.

A new kind of reality TV show was born,

Rođena je nova vrsta reality-showa

and it goes against all the rules of TV engagement.

koja se protivi svim pravilima televizijskog angažmana.

There is no story line, no script,

Nema priče, scenarija,

no drama, no climax,

drame, vrhunca,

and it's called Slow TV.

a naziva se "Slow TV" (usporena TV).

For the past two months,

Zadnja dva mjeseca

Norwegians have been watching a cruise ship's journey up the coast,

Norvežani su gledali putničke brodove kako putuju obalom

and there's a lot of fog on that coast.

pokrivenom maglom.

Executives at Norway's National Broadcasting Service

Rukovoditelji NNBS-a

are now considering broadcasting a night of knitting nationwide.

sad planiraju nacionalni prijenos noći pletenja.

On the surface, it sounds boring,

Čini se dosadno na prvi pogled,

because it is,

zato što i jest,

but something about this TV experiment

ali ima nešto u ovom TV-eksperimentu

has gripped Norwegians.

što je očaralo Norvežane.

So we sent the Listening Post's Marcela Pizarro to Oslo

Stoga smo poslali novinarku Listening Posta Marcelu Pizarro u Oslo

to find out what it is, but first a warning:

da sazna o čemu se radi, no najprije jedno upozorenje:

Viewers may find some of the images in the following report disappointing.

Gledatelje bi neki od prizora mogli... razočarati.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Thomas Hellum: And then follows an eight-minute story on Al Jazeera

Thomas Hellum: Zatim slijedi osmominutna priča na Al Jazeeri

about some strange TV programs in little Norway.

o neobičnim TV-programima u malenoj Norveškoj.

Al Jazeera. CNN. How did we get there?

Al Jazeera. CNN. Kako smo ondje dospjeli?

We have to go back to 2009,

Moramo se vratiti u 2009.

when one of my colleagues got a great idea.

kada je jedan od mojih kolega dobio sjajnu ideju.

Where do you get your ideas?

Gdje dolazite do ideja?

In the lunchroom.

U blagovaonici.

So he said, why don't we make a radio program

Rekao je, mogli bismo napraviti radijski program

marking the day of the German invasion of Norway in 1940.

na obljetnicu njemačke invazije na Norvešku 1940.

We tell the story at the exact time during the night.

Pričat ćemo tu priču u točno to vrijeme tijekom noći.

Wow. Brilliant idea, except

Sjajna ideja,

this was just a couple of weeks before the invasion day.

samo što je obljetnica bila tek za nekoliko tjedana.

So we sat in our lunchroom and discussed

Sjedili smo u blagovaonici i raspravljali

what other stories can you tell as they evolve?

o tome koje bismo druge priče mogli pričati dok se razvijaju.

What other things take a really long time?

Što još jako dugo traje?

So one of us came up with a train.

Jedan od nas dosjetio se vlaka.

The Bergen Railway had its 100-year anniversary that year

Bergenska željeznica te je godine obilježavala 100. obljetnicu.

It goes from western Norway to eastern Norway,

Željeznica se proteže od zapadne do istočne Norveške,

and it takes exactly the same time as it did 40 years ago,

a vožnja traje jednako kao i prije 40 godina

over seven hours. (Laughter)

- više od sedam sati. (Smijeh)

So we caught our commissioning editors in Oslo, and we said,

Našli smo izvršne urednike u Oslu i rekli im

we want to make a documentary about the Bergen Railway,

da želimo napraviti dokumentarac o Bergenskoj željeznici,

and we want to make it in full length,

i to u stvarnoj dužini.

and the answer was,

Odgovor je glasio:

"Yes, but how long will the program be?"

"Može, ali koliko će to dugo trajati?"

"Oh," we said, "full length."

Rekoh: "U stvarnoj dužini."

"Yes, but we mean the program."

"Da, ali mislimo na reportažu."

And back and forth.

I tako stalno.

Luckily for us, they met us with laughter, very, very good laughter,

Srećom, jako su se lijepo nasmijali,

so one bright day in September,

pa jednog sunčanog rujanskog dana

we started a program that we thought should be seven hours and four minutes.

počeli smo program za koji smo očekivali da će trajati 7 sati i 4 minute.

Actually, it turned out to be seven hours and 14 minutes

Na kraju je trajalo 7 sati i 14 minuta

due to a signal failure at the last station.

zahvaljujući neuspješnoj signalizaciji na zadnjoj postaji.

We had four cameras,

Imali smo četiri kamere.

three of them pointing out to the beautiful nature.

Tri su bile usmjerene prema predivnoj prirodi.

Some talking to the guests, some information.

Neke su snimale razgovore s gostima i informiranja.

(Video) Train announcement: We will arrive at Haugastøl Station.

(Video) Obavijest putnicima: Stižemo na stanicu Haugstøl.

TH: And that's about it,

TH: I to je to!

but of course, also

No naravno,

the 160 tunnels gave us the opportunity to do some archives.

160 tunela dalo nam je priliku da puštamo materijale iz arhive.

Narrator [in Norwegian]: Then a bit of flirting while the food is digested.

Govornik (na norveškom): Malo flerta dok se hrana probavlja.

The last downhill stretch before we reach our destination.

Posljednji dio nizbrdo prije dolaska na odredište.

We pass Mjølfjell Station.

Prolazimo stanicu Mjølfjell.

Then a new tunnel.

I onda još jedan tunel.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

TH: And now we thought, yes, we have a brilliant program.

TH: I onda smo pomislili: da, imamo sjajan program!

It will fit for the 2,000 train spotters in Norway.

Svidjet će se 2.000 promatrača vlakova u Norveškoj.

We brought it on air in November 2009.

Prikazali smo to u studenom 2009.

But no, this was far more attractive.

Ali ne, ovo je bilo mnogo privlačnije.

This is the five biggest TV channels in Norway on a normal Friday,

Ovo je pet najvećih TV-programa u Norveškoj na običan petak,

and if you look at NRK2 over here,

a pogledate li na NRK2,

look what happened when they put on the Bergen Railway show:

pogledajte što se dogodilo kad su prikazali Bergenske željeznice:

1.2 million Norwegians watched part of this program.

1,2 milijuna Norvežana gledalo je taj program.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

And another funny thing:

I još jedna zanimljivost.

When the host on our main channel,

Kada je voditeljica našeg glavnog programa

after they have got news for you,

nakon vijesti

she said, "And on our second channel,

rekla: "A na našem drugom programu

the train has now nearly reached Myrdal station."

vlak je skoro stigao na stanicu Myrdal."

Thousands of people just jumped on the train

Tisuće su ljudi odmah prebacili na vlak

on our second channel like this. (Laughter)

na našem drugom programu - ovako. (Smijeh)

This was also a huge success in terms of social media.

Ovo je bio ogroman uspjeh i po pitanju društvenih mreža.

It was so nice to see all the thousands of Facebook and Twitter users

Bilo je divno vidjeti tisuće korisnika Facebooka i Twittera

discussing the same view,

kako raspravljaju o istom pogledu,

talking to each other as if they were on the same train together.

međusobno razgovaraju kao da su zajedno na vlaku.

And especially, I like this one. It's a 76-year-old man.

Ovo mi je posebno drag primjer. Ovo je 76-ogodišnjak

He's watched all the program,

koji je odgledao cijeli program

and at the end station, he rises up to pick up what he thinks is his luggage,

i nakon što je vlak došao na destinaciju, mislio je da se ustaje uzeti prtljagu,

and his head hit the curtain rod,

glavom udario o karnišu

and he realized he is in his own living room.

i tek je onda shvatio da je u svom dnevnom boravku.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

So that's strong and living TV.

Televizija je toliko utjecajna.

Four hundred and thirty-six minute by minute on a Friday night,

436 minuta za minutom petkom navečer

and during that first night,

i tijekom prve noći

the first Twitter message came: Why be a chicken?

stigao je prvi tweet: "Nemojte biti kukavice!

Why stop at 436 when you can expand that

Zašto stati na 436 minuta kad to možete proširiti

to 8,040, minute by minute,

na 8.040, minuta po minutu

and do the iconic journey in Norway,

i napraviti ikonsku turu Norveškom -

the coastal ship journey Hurtigruten from Bergen to Kirkenes,

putovanjem putničkim brodom Hurtigruten od Bergena do Kirkenesa,

almost 3,000 kilometers, covering most of our coast.

gotovo 3.000 km, preko većine obale.

It has 120-year-old, very interesting history,

Ima zanimljivu povijest dugu 120 godina

and literally takes part in life and death along the coast.

i doslovno sudjeluje u životu i smrti uzduž obale."

So just a week after the Bergen Railway,

Tjedan dana nakon Bergenske željeznice

we called the Hurtigruten company and we started planning for our next show.

nazvali smo Hurtigruten kompaniju i počeli planirati sljedeći show.

We wanted to do something different.

Htjeli smo napraviti nešto drugačije.

The Bergen Railway was a recorded program.

Bergenska željeznica bila je sniman program.

So when we sat in our editing room,

Kad smo sjeli u sobu za montažu,

we watched this picture -- it's all Ål Station --

gledali smo ovu sliku - to je stanica Ål -

we saw this journalist.

i vidjeli smo ovog novinara.

We had called him, we had spoken to him,

Zvali smo ga, pričali smo s njim,

and when we left the station,

a kad smo napustili stanicu,

he took this picture of us and he waved to the camera,

uslikao je ovu sliku i mahao kameri,

and we thought,

pa smo pomislili,

what if more people knew that we were on board that train?

što bi bilo kad bi više ljudi znalo da smo na tom vlaku?

Would more people show up?

Bi li se više ljudi pojavilo?

What would it look like?

Kako bi to izgledalo?

So we decided our next project, it should be live.

Tako smo odlučili da bi naš sljedeći projekt trebao ići uživo.

We wanted this picture of us on the fjord and on the screen at the same time.

Htjeli smo ovu našu sliku imati istovremeno i na fjordovima i na ekranu.

So this is not the first time NRK had been on board a ship.

Ovo nije bio prvi put da je NPK bio na brodu.

This is back in 1964,

Ovo je iz 1964.

when the technical managers have suits and ties

kad su tehnički menadžeri nosili odijela i kravate

and NRK rolled all its equipment on board a ship,

i NRK je postavio svoju opremu na brod

and 200 meters out of the shore, transmitting the signal back,

i 200 metara od obale vraćali signal,

and in the machine room, they talked to the machine guy,

a u sobi sa strojevima razgovarali su sa strojovođom.

and on the deck, they have splendid entertainment.

Na palubi su se dobro zabavljali.

So being on a ship, it's not the first time.

Dakle, nije nam ovo prvi put na brodu. (Smijeh)

But five and a half days in a row, and live, we wanted some help.

Ali budući da se radilo o 5 i pol dana i da je išlo uživo, trebala nam je pomoć.

And we asked our viewers out there, what do you want to see?

Pitali smo gledatelje što žele vidjeti.

What do you want us to film? How do you want this to look?

Što želite da snimamo? Kako želite da ovo izgleda?

Do you want us to make a website? What do you want on it?

Želite li da napravimo web-stranicu? Što želite na njoj?

And we got some answers from you out there,

Dobili smo neke vaše odgovore

and it helped us a very lot to build the program.

koji su nam puno pomogli u osmišljavanju programa.

So in June 2011,

U lipnju 2011.

23 of us went on board the Hurtigruten coastal ship

nas 23 se ukrcalo na Hurtigruten brod

and we set off.

i zaplovili smo.

(Music)

(Glazba)

I have some really strong memories from that week, and it's all about people.

Imam snažna sjećanja na taj tjedan, a sva uključuju ljude.

This guy, for instance,

Npr. ovaj je tip

he's head of research at the University in Tromsø

voditelj istraživanja na Sveučilištu u Tromsø.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And I will show you a piece of cloth,

Pokazat ću vam komad tkanine,

this one.

ovaj.

It's the other strong memory.

I to je jedno snažno sjećanje.

It belongs to a guy called Erik Hansen.

Pripada Eriku Hansenu.

And it's people like those two who took a firm grip of our program,

Takvi su ljudi snažno djelovali na naš program

and together with thousands of others along the route,

i skupa s tisućama drugih tijekom putovanja

they made the program what it became.

napravili su od njega ono što on sada jest.

They made all the stories.

Stvorili su priče.

This is Karl. He's in the ninth grade.

Ovo je Karl. Ide u 9. razred.

It says, "I will be a little late for school tomorrow."

Piše: "Malo ću zakasniti na sutrašnju nastavu."

He was supposed to be in the school at 8 a.m.

Treba je biti u školi u 8:00.

He came at 9 a.m., and he didn't get a note from his teacher,

Došao je u 9:00 i učiteljica ga nije zapisala

because the teacher had watched the program.

jer je i ona gledala prijenos.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

How did we do this?

Kako smo to izveli?

Yes, we took a conference room on board the Hurtigruten.

Da, uzeli smo sobu za sastanke upravnog tijela Hurtigrutena.

We turned it into a complete TV control room.

Pretvorili smo je u kontrolnu kabinu.

We made it all work, of course,

Sve je radilo, naravno.

and then we took along 11 cameras.

Ponijeli smo 11 kamera.

This is one of them.

Ovo je jedna od njih.

This is my sketch from February,

Ovo je moj nacrt iz veljače.

and when you give this sketch to professional people

Kad ovaj nacrt date profesionalcima

in the Norwegian broadcasting company NRK,

u NRK-u,

you get some cool stuff back.

svašta vam vrate.

And with some very creative solutions.

Prvenstveno kreativna rješenja.

(Video) Narrator [in Norwegian]: Run it up and down.

(Video) Govornik (na norveškom): Neka ide gore-dolje.

This is Norway's most important drill right now.

Ovo je trenutno najvažnija norveška bušilica.

It regulates the height of a bow camera in NRK's live production,

Regulira visinu kamere u NRK-ovoj produkciji uživo.

one of 11 that capture great shots from the MS Nord-Norge.

Jedna od 11 koje hvataju sjajne snimke MS Nord-Norgea.

Eight wires keep the camera stable.

Osam žica stabilizira kameru.

Cameraman: I work on different camera solutions.

Kamerman: Radim na različitim kamermanskim rješenjima.

They're just tools used in a different context.

To su samo alati koji se koriste u različitim kontekstima.

TH: Another camera is this one. It's normally used for sports.

TH: Ovo je druga kamera. Inače je koristimo za sportove.

It made it possible for us to take close-up pictures of people

Omogućila nam je da radimo snimke ljudi u krupnom planu

100 kilomteres away,

udaljene i po 100 km,

like this one. (Laughter)

poput ove. (Smijeh)

People called us and asked, how is this man doing?

Ljudi su nas zvali da pitaju za ovog čovjeka.

He's doing fine. Everything went well.

Dobro je. Sve je dobro prošlo.

We also could take pictures of people waving at us,

Mogli smo snimati i ljude koji su nam mahali,

people along the route, thousands of them,

a i one koji su pitali za smjer, tisuće njih.

and they all had a phone in their hand.

Svi su imali mobitele u rukama.

And when you take a picture of them, and they get the message,

I kad ih slikamo, a oni dobiju poruku

"Now we are on TV, dad," they start waving back.

"Tata, na TV-u smo", i oni počnu mahati.

This was waving TV for five and a half days,

Ovo je pet i pol dana bila "mašuća-TV".

and people get so extremely happy

Ljudi su bili toliko sretni

when they can send a warm message to their loved ones.

što su mogli poslati tople pozdrave voljenima.

It was also a great success on social media.

Bio je to uspjeh i na društvenim medijima.

On the last day, we met Her Majesty the Queen of Norway,

Na zadnji dan upoznali smo njenu Visost, kraljicu Norveške

and Twitter couldn't quite handle it.

i Twitter je poblesavio.

And we also, on the web,

Također, preko Interneta smo

during this week we streamed more than 100 years of video

tijekom ovog tjedna streamali više od 100 godina videa

to 148 nations,

u 148 zemalja,

and the websites are still there and they will be forever, actually,

Stranice su još uvijek tamo i tamo će biti zauvijek

because Hurtigruten was selected

jer je Hurtigruten izabran

to be part of the Norwegian UNESCO list of documents,

da bude dijelom norveške UNESCO-liste dokumenata.

and it's also in the Guinness Book of Records

Također se nalazi u Guinnessovoj knjizi rekorda

as the longest documentary ever.

kao najduži dokumentarac ikad.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

But it's a long program,

Ali dug je to program,

so some watched part of it, like the Prime Minister.

pa su neki gledali samo dijelove, poput premijera.

Some watched a little bit more.

Neki su gledali malo više.

It says, "I haven't used my bed for five days."

Kaže: "Nisam spavao pet dana."

And he's 82 years old, and he hardly slept.

To je 82-ogodišnjak koji je jedva spavao.

He kept watching because something might happen,

Gledao je jer je mislio da bi se nešto moglo dogoditi

though it probably won't. (Laughter)

iako vjerojatno neće. (Smijeh)

This is the number of viewers along the route.

Ovo je broj gledatelja tijekom rute.

You can see the famous Trollfjord

Vidi se poznati Trollfjord,

and a day after, all-time high for NRK2.

a dan poslije, vrhunac za NRK2.

If you see the four biggest channels in Norway during June 2011,

Da pogledate 4 najveća programa u Norveškoj tijekom lipnja 2011.,

they will look like this,

ovako bi izgledali,

and as a TV producer, it's a pleasure to put Hurtigruten on top of it.

a kao TV-producent, zadovoljstvo mi je na vrh postaviti Hurtigruten.

It looks like this:

Ovako to izgleda:

3.2 million Norwegians watched part of this program,

3,2 milijuna Norvežana gledalo je barem dio programa,

and we are only five million here.

a ima nas samo 5 milijuna.

Even the passengers on board the Hurtigruten coastal ship --

Čak su i putnici na Hurtigruten brodu --

(Laughter) --

(Smijeh) --

they chose to watched the telly instead of turning 90 degrees

i oni su gledali TV umjesto da su se okrenuli za 90 stupnjeva

and watching out the window.

i gledali kroz prozor.

So we were allowed to be part of people's living room

Bilo nam je omogućeno biti dijelom dnevnog boravka

with this strange TV program,

zahvaljujući ovom neobičnom TV programu

with music, nature, people.

s glazbom, prirodom i ljudima.

And Slow TV was now a buzzword,

Slow TV postao je popularan izraz.

and we started looking for other things we could make Slow TV about.

Počeli smo razmišljati o drugim stvarima o kojima bismo mogli snimati Slow TV.

So we could either take something long and make it a topic,

Mogli smo ili uzeti nešto dugačko i učiniti to temom,

like with the railway and the Hurtigruten,

poput željeznice i Hurtigrutena,

or we could take a topic and make it long.

ili uzeti temu i učiniti je dugom.

This is the last project. It's the peep show.

Naš zadnji projekt oslanja se na koncept peepshowa.

It's 14 hours of birdwatching on a TV screen,

Sastoji se od 14 sati promatranja ptica na TV-ekranima,

actually 87 days on the web.

a 87 dana na Internetu.

We have made 18 hours of live salmon fishing.

Snimili smo uživo 18 sati ribolova lososa.

It actually took three hours before we got the first fish,

Trebalo je tri sata da upecamo prvu,

and that's quite slow.

a to je prilično sporo.

We have made 12 hours of boat ride into the beautiful Telemark Canal,

Snimili smo 12 sati vožnje čamcem preko kanala Telemark

and we have made another train ride with the northern railway,

i još jednu vožnju vlakom s južnom željeznicom,

and because this we couldn't do live, we did it in four seasons

a budući da to nismo mogli puštati uživo, snimali smo to tijekom 4 godišnja doba

just to give the viewer another experience on the way.

kako bismo gledateljima pružili drugačije iskustvo.

So our next project got us some attention outside Norway.

Sljedeći projekt proslavio nas je i izvan Norveške.

This is from the Colbert Report on Comedy Central.

Ovo je iz Colbert Reporta na Comedy Centralu.

(Video) Stephen Colbert: I've got my eye on a wildly popular program from Norway

(Video) Stephen Colbert: U oko mi je zapeo užasno popularan norveški program

called "National Firewood Night,"

pod imenom "Noć državne vatre za ogrjev"

which consisted of mostly people in parkas chatting and chopping in the woods,

u kojem ljudi u jaknama brbljaju i sijeku drva,

and then eight hours of a fire burning in a fireplace. (Laughter)

a zatim slijedi osam sati kaminske vatre. (Smijeh)

It destroyed the other top Norwegian shows,

Uništilo je to druge popularne norveške emisije poput

like "So You Think You Can Watch Paint Dry"

"Gledajmo kako se suši boja"

and "The Amazing Glacier Race."

i "Utrke glečerima".

And get this, almost 20 percent of the Norwegian population tuned in,

I pazite ovo, skoro 20 posto norveške populacije je to pratilo,

20 percent.

20 posto!

TH: So, when wood fire and wood chopping can be that interesting,

TH: Pa kad drva za ogrjev i sječa drva mogu biti toliko zanimljivi,

why not knitting?

zašto ne prikazivati pletenje?

So on our next project,

Za naš sljedeći projekt

we used more than eight hours to go live from a sheep to a sweater,

trebalo nam je osam sati od ovce do džempera

and Jimmy Kimmel in the ABC show,

i Jimmyju Kimellu iz ABC-showa

he liked that.

to se svidjelo.

(Music)

(Glazba)

(Video) Jimmy Kimmel: Even the people on the show are falling asleep,

(Video) Jimmy Kimmel: Čak i sudionici showa počinju spavati

and after all that, the knitters actually failed

i nakon svega toga pletači nisu uspjeli

to break the world record.

srušiti svjetski rekord.

They did not succeed,

Nisu uspjeli,

but remember the old Norwegian saying,

ali sjetite se stare norveške izreke,

it's not whether you win or lose that counts.

nije bitno pobijediš li ili izgubiš.

In fact, nothing counts, and death is coming for us all.

U biti, ništa nije bitno i smrt dolazi po sve nas.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

TH: Exactly. So why does this stand out?

TH: Upravo tako. Zašto se onda ovo toliko razlikuje?

This is so completely different to other TV programming.

Ovo je potpuno drugačije od drugih TV-emisija.

We take the viewer on a journey that happens right now in real time,

Gledatelja vodimo na putovanje koje ide uživo

and the viewer gets the feeling of actually being there,

i on dobije dojam da je uistinu tamo,

actually being on the train, on the boat,

na vlaku, na brodu,

and knitting together with others,

kao da plete među ostalima,

and the reason I think why they're doing that

a mislim da to rade

is because we don't edit the timeline.

zato što ne editiramo razvoj događaja.

It's important that we don't edit the timeline,

To je važno,

and it's also important that what we make Slow TV about

a također je važno što napravimo da Slow TV

is something that we all can relate to, that the viewer can relate to,

bude nešto s čime se svi možemo poistovjetiti

and that somehow has a root in our culture.

i što je utemeljeno na našoj kulturi.

This is a picture from last summer

Ovo je slika od prošlog ljeta

when we traveled the coast again for seven weeks.

kada smo isto putovali obalom na sedam tjedana.

And of course this is a lot of planning, this is a lot of logistics.

To uključuje puno planiranja i logistike.

So this is the working plan for 150 people last summer,

Ovo je plan rada za 150 ljudi prošlog ljeta,

but more important is what you don't plan.

ali važnije je ono što ne planirate.

You don't plan what's going to happen.

Ne planirate što će se dogoditi.

You have to just take your cameras with you.

Samo ponesete kamere sa sobom.

It's like a sports event.

Poput sportskog događaja.

You rig them and you see what's happening.

Montirate ih i gledate što će se dogoditi.

So this is actually the whole running order

Ovo je zapravo cijeli plan rada

for Hurtigruten, 134 hours, just written on one page.

za Hurtigruten, 134 sata napisano na jednoj stranici.

We didn't know anything more when we left Bergen.

Nismo znali ništa više ni kad smo napustili Bergen.

So you have to let the viewers make the stories themselves,

Morate dozvoliti gledateljima da sami stvore priče.

and I'll give you an example of that.

Dat ću vam primjer.

This is from last summer,

Ovo je od prošlog ljeta.

and as a TV producer,

Kao TV producent

it's a nice picture, but now you can cut to the next one.

kažem da je ovo lijepa snimka, ali sad možemo prijeći na sljedeću.

But this is Slow TV,

No ovo je Slow TV,

so you have to keep this picture until it really starts hurting your stomach,

pa ćemo je ostaviti dok vam ne pozlije od nje,

and then you keep it a little bit longer,

a onda i još malo duže.

and when you keep it that long,

Kad je toliko dugo držite,

I'm sure some of you now have noticed the cow.

siguran sam da su neki od vas primijetili kravu.

Some of you have seen the flag.

Neki su primijetili zastavicu.

Some of you start wondering, is the farmer at home?

Neki se počinju pitati je li farmer kod kuće.

Has he left? Is he watching the cow?

Je li otišao? Pazi li na kravu?

And where is that cow going?

Kamo krava ide?

So my point is, the longer you keep a picture like this,

Želim reći, što duže držite snimku poput ove,

and we kept it for 10 minutes,

a mi smo je držali 10 minuta,

you start making the stories in your own head.

počnete si stvarati scenarije u glavi.

That's Slow TV.

To je Slow TV.

So we think that Slow TV is one nice way of telling a TV story,

Mislimo kako je Slow TV zgodan način da se ispriča TV priča

and we think that we can continue doing it,

i da možemo nastaviti s tim,

not too often, once or twice a year, so we keep the feeling of an event,

ne prečesto, jednom ili dvaput godišnje, kako bi održali osjećaj događaja.

and we also think that the good Slow TV idea,

Dobra ideja koja bi se prikazivala na Slow TV-u

that's the idea when people say,

jest ona za koju ljudi kažu

"Oh no, you can't put that on TV."

"A ne, to ne možete staviti na TV!"

When people smile, it might be a very good slow idea,

Kako se ljudi smiju, i to bi mogla biti zanimljiva spora ideja,

so after all, life is best when it's a bit strange.

a život je ipak nabolji kad je neobičan!

Thank you.

Hvala vam.
