Jakob Trollback: Rethinking the music video

Translator: Karol Batek Reviewer: Martin Francis Gilbert Máik

I’m working a lot with motion and animation,

Dosť pracujem s pohybom a animáciou

and also I'm an old DJ and a musician.

a som tiež starým DJ-om a muzikantom.

So, music videos are something that I always found interesting,

A tak som sa vždy zaujímal o videoklipy,

but they always seem to be so reactive.

no vždy sa zdajú byť také reaktívne.

So I was thinking, can you remove us as creators

A tak som premýšľal, je možné odstrániť z nich nás tvorcov

and try to make the music be the voice

a skúsiť nechať hudbu byť hlasom

and have the animation following it?

nasledovaným animáciou?

So with two designers, Tolga and Christina, at my office, we took a track --

Tak sme s dvojicou dizajnérov, Christinou a Tolgom, zobrali skladbu -

many of you probably know it. It’s about 25 years old,

mnohí ju pravdepodobne poznáte; má okolo 25 rokov,

and it's David Byrne and Brian Eno --

je to David Byrne a Brian Eno --

and we did this little animation.

a spravili sme túto animáciu.

And I think that it's maybe interesting, also,

A myslím, že je tiež zaujímavé,

that it deals with two problematic issues,

že sa zaoberá dvoma problémami,

which are rising waters and religion.

stúpaním hladiny vôd a náboženstvom.

Song: Before God destroyed the people on the Earth,

Než Boh zničil ľudstvo,

he warned Noah to build an Ark.

varoval Noema, nech postaví Archu.

And after Noah built his Ark,

A po tom, čo ju Noem postavil,

I believe he told Noah to warn the people

myslím, že mu povedal, aby ľudí varoval,

that they must change all their wicked ways

že musia zmeniť všetky svoje skazené spôsoby

before he come upon them and destroy them.

skôr než nad nimi povstane On a zničí ich.

And when Noah had done built his Ark,

A keď Noe Archu dokončil,

I understand that somebody began to rend a song.

pokiaľ sa nemýlim, niekto preťal ticho piesňou.

And the song began to move on I understand like this.

A tá pieseň začínala nejako takto.

And when Noah had done built his Ark ...

A keď Noe dokončil Archu...

Move on ... In fact ... Concern ...

začala...

So they get tired, has come dark and rain; they get weary and tired.

Boli unavení, prišla tma a dážď; boli vyčerpaní a unavení.

And then he went and knocked an old lady house.

A potom prišiel a zaklopal na dom starej dámy.

And old lady ran to the door and say, "Who is it?"

Stará dáma prišla k dverám a vraví: "Kto je tam?"

Jack say, "Me, Mama-san, could we spend the night here?

Jackson Lee Mama povedala: "Smieme tu prenocovať?"

Because we’re far from home, we’re very tired."

"Sme vyčerpaní a ďaleko od domova."

And the old lady said, "Oh yes, come on in."

A stará dáma odvetila: "Och áno, vstúpte."

It was come dark and rain, will make you weary and tired.

Tma a dážď vás vyčerpá a unaví.

(Applause)
