Jakob Trollback: Rethinking the music video

譯者: Ken Hsu 審譯者: Dennis Lin

I’m working a lot with motion and animation,

我的工作和電影與動畫息息相關。

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

而我也是一名音樂人，又是一個經驗老道的DJ 。

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

所以我對音樂錄影帶總是頗有想法。

but they always seem to be so reactive.

但音樂錄影帶往往都一陳不變。

So I was thinking, can you remove us as creators

因此我想要發揮創意

and try to make the music be the voice

讓音樂錄影帶以音樂本身為主

and have the animation following it?

再配上動畫畫面

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

我有另外兩個設計師夥伴Christina和Tolga 我們在我的工作室裡製作了一首曲子--

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

你們其中可能有人曾經聽過這首歌；這首歌是25年前的老歌，

and it's David Byrne and Brian Eno --

演唱人是David Byrne 和Brian Eno

and we did this little animation.

– 而我們為這首歌製作了動畫。

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

我覺得這首歌有趣的地方在於

that it deals with two problematic issues,

它有關於了二個議題

which are rising waters and religion.

海平面上升以及宗教信仰。

Song: Before God destroyed the people on the Earth,

在上帝摧毀地球上的人類之前，

he warned Noah to build an Ark.

它通知諾亞建造了一艘方舟。

And after Noah built his Ark,

在諾亞造完方舟之後

I believe he told Noah to warn the people

上帝要諾亞警告人類

that they must change all their wicked ways

改變所有的惡行，

before he come upon them and destroy them.

在上帝降臨毀滅之前。

And when Noah had done built his Ark,

諾亞造完方舟之後，

I understand that somebody began to rend a song.

有一首歌開始被人傳唱。

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

這首歌是這樣被傳唱著

And when Noah had done built his Ark ...

諾亞造完方舟後

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

繼續前進

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

他們累了;黑暗風雨來襲，他們疲憊不已。

And then he went and knocked an old lady house.

來到老婦人的家，敲敲門。

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

老婦人問道：“誰啊？”

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

Jackson Lee Mama 說：“可以讓我們在此過一夜嗎？”

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

我們從很遠來，我們已經走得疲累。”

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

老婦人說：“當然可以，請進吧。”

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

那時天黑落雨，這讓人感到疲憊不已。

(Applause)
