制♥作♥概念预告片时
With the concept trailer,
我们没有请职业演员 只请了朋友来拍摄
we shot it with our friends instead of actors.
背景用的是白幕
We shot it with white bedsheets
而不是绿幕
instead of like, green screens.
我们找了四位油画画师
So we found these four oil painters
为了制♥作♥出这个概念预告片
who we were gonna try and train
我们要把他们培训成动画师
for the concept trailer to be painting animators.
其实 他们当时就是我们的小白鼠
And essentially they were our guinea pigs.
我参与制♥作♥了第一部预告片
I worked on the first trailer,
但是因为我不能搬到自♥由♥市去
but because I couldn’t move to the free city,
名义上独♥立♥ 地位受到国际保证
所以我是在华沙的家里画的
I painted from home in Warsaw.
而预告片里的第一版阿尔芒·鲁兰
And the first animated Armand Roulin that appears on the trailer,
就是在我家里制♥作♥完成的
was done here in my flat.
皮特·多米纳克
休从极越那边
Hugh brought a couple of people over
带来了几个人 我们团队的人就算齐了
from BreakThru and we had our team assembled
整装待发 开始制♥作♥预告片
ready to start production on the trailer.
除了制♥作♥预告片需要的素材之外
Other than the material for the trailer,
托梅克·沃克尼亚克
制♥作♥主任
我们还为测试拍了一些素材
we also shoot some material for tests.
我们开到了一个谷仓
We drove down to a barn
当时天气特别冷
in extremely cold weather.
我们换好戏服
We dressed up just to see
想看看效果如何
what it would look like
也好给我们在描绘动态场景方面提供构思
and how it will be to animate more dynamic scenes,
其中 我打扮成了穿着牛仔装的小年轻
including one where I was a young boy in a cowboy suit
有可能被用于当文森特的素材
who could be Vincent potential here.
如果我们能在制♥作♥概念预告片的时间里
If we could train those painters to become painting animators
训练这些油画师成为动画师
during the time scale of the concept trailer,
那我们就可以肯定
then we knew it was something
这种大规模的动画制♥作♥是可以成功的
we could replicate on a bigger scale.

20个人
20 people
讲述一个人的故事
telling the story of one man.
他工作到三更半夜
He works til late,
不到六点就起床了
get up before six.
他在这里的时候很快乐
He was happy here.
武
的确是这样的
He was.
所有人都拒绝了他
Everybody rejected him.
直到他和加歇一家开始来往
Until he started hanging around
才不那么形单影只
with the Gachet’s.
生
他用自己的血
On the wall he wrote a message
在墙上写下了一句话
in his own blood.
林
你知道他写了什么吗
You know what he writes?
“吾即圣灵”
“I’m the holy spirit.”
“我们无以为言
“Well, the truth is, we cannot speak
唯有绘画才能表达我心之所念
other than by our paintings.
与您握手致敬
With a handshake,
至爱 梵高”
your loving Vincent.”
等到制♥作♥接近尾声时
When we got to the end of that process,
它给我呈现出的
how I felt about it was
是一种我从未见过的风格
that I hadn’t really seen anything like it before.
我当时很激动
I was very excited.
迫不及待地想把它和世人分享
I was very keen to show it to people.
我最先给两个人展示了
And two of the first people I showed it to
一个是肖恩·鲍比特
was Sean Bobbitt,
他二话不说地加入了我们
who then immediately came on board
成为了极越的股东
as a shareholder in BreakThru
并参与制♥作♥了这部电影
and also as a producer on the film.
他找到我 给我放了一个
He came to me and he showed me a trailer
肖恩·鲍比特
制片人
他准备拍的下一部电影的预告片
for the next film that he was planning on doing,
《至爱梵高》 我立刻就爱上它了
Loving Vincent, and I immediately fell in love with it.
它给我带来了一种前所未有的感觉
I mean, it was like nothing I’d ever seen before.
我答应了 我怎么可能会不想参与其中呢
And I just said yes, I definitely wanna be a part of this.
我展示给的另外一个人
And the other person I showed it to
和他的反应一模一样
who had exactly the same reaction
他是商标影视的伊万·麦克塔格特
was Ivan Mactaggart from Trademark Films.
它是一部关于文森特·梵高的动画电影
It’s an animation about Vincent Van Gogh.
大卫·帕菲特
执行制片人
伊凡·麦克塔加特
制片人
我说 你还是打消这个念头吧
And I said, well let me stop you there
因为我们不做动画
because we don’t do animation.
他又说 先看看我们做的这个
And he said just watch this 90 second
90秒的概念预告片再下定论吧
concept trailer that we’ve made.
他拿出了他的平板 点了播放
He pulled out his iPad and he sets it going,
我看着预告片 愣了整整90秒
and I watched, transfixed for 90 seconds,
90秒后 我说 现在我们要做动画了
and at the end of it said, okay, now we do do animation.
在哪儿签名
Where do we sign?
接下来 制♥作♥过程慢慢推进
And then you know, as things progressed
我们是时候为电影建立一个正式的基地了
we needed to have a serious kind of base for the film.
于是 我们就去了格但斯克
We then moved to Gdansk.
波兰 格但斯克
搬进了格但斯克科技园商业中心
We moved to GPNT Business center
就有了这片巨大的空间
and we had this huge empty space,
整整2000平方米
2,000 square meters,
m 0 0 l 66 0 l 66 -15 l 0 -15

我们五个人在这个空阔的地方转来转去
and there was five of us rattling around in this enormous space.
这里有个羽毛球场 我们还能溜旱冰
So we had a badminton court, we had our roller blades.
这里是很大 但我们不仅会填满这里
Yeah, We were gonna not only fill all of that space in time,
还会需要更多的空间
but we’d need to have much more.
皮特·多米纳克
我们在制♥作♥概念预告片的时候
While we were making the concept trailer,
光是画一帧
it was taking us at least two hours
就耗了我们至少两个小时
to paint a single frame.
我们必须想办法缩短时间
We knew we had to find a way to cut the time
得把效率提上去
in order to make it efficient enough
才能用同样的方式把整部电影制♥作♥出来
to create a whole film in the same way.
我们为画师建的的第一个工作台
Our first work station for painters
可以是说很简单了
was very homemade.
一个画架 摄像机 投影仪 宜家搁板架
An easel, a camera, projector, IKEA shelving unit,
托梅克·沃克尼亚克
制♥作♥总监
一个三脚架 两台电脑 和一个记忆棒
a tripod, two computers, and a memory stick.
索尼公♥司♥研发出来的移♥动♥存储媒体
我的工作是找出更好的办法
My job was to come up with something better
来帮助画师们更高效地制♥作♥动画
to help animators to be able to animate more efficiently.
所以我们想出了绘画工作台这个主意
So we came up with painting animation work station.
台
此外 采用的构件能够最大限度地减少
In addition, parts could minimize the amount of things
绘画工作台样板图
动画制♥作♥时可能出现的错误
that could go wrong during the animation.

休·韦尔什曼
皮特使用第一套设备时
Piotr was doing three hours a frame
一帧画了3个小时
on our first set up,
而当我们把他送进
and, you know, by the time we got him into
我们自己建的绘画工作台时
our painting animation works station,
也就是绘画工作台3.0
our PAWS version 3.0,
时间直接减半到1.5小时
we had cut it in half to one and a half hours.
我们花了5天时间来搭建
It took us five days to assemble
前30个绘画工作台
