英語(yǔ)視頻暢談歐美人文風(fēng)情01：一窺Google Doodle 團(tuán)隊(duì)幕后工作

The fortunate thing about finding inspiration for Doodles is that we already have a subject matter. For instance, if we were celebrating Saint Patrick's Day, we might look into Irish culture

提出 Google 涂鴉標(biāo)志的點(diǎn)子其實(shí)來(lái)自各個(gè)地方。它不僅來(lái)自涂鴉客們自己，也就是我們，也來(lái)自其他在 Google 工作的人員，以及我們來(lái)自全世界的使用者們。

I usually start with research, look up reference imagery, and go from there, start sketching, brainstorming ideas.

然后我們?cè)囍页瞿莻€(gè)建議，并把它當(dāng)成一個(gè)創(chuàng)意習(xí)題，用我們能夠設(shè)法做到、最令人興奮的方式來(lái)解答。

So the inspiration comes from learning about what we are drawing.

我們基本上只是試著要慶祝任何科技相關(guān)、又好玩、又有點(diǎn)宅、和具藝術(shù)性的事物。

Doodle 4 Google is awesome because it gives kids all across the country the opportunity to take our jobs for a day. This year, in particular, is really cool. I'm really excited about the theme.

我們也有一些我們每年都創(chuàng)作的涂鴉標(biāo)志。諾，像是萬(wàn)圣節(jié)，舉例來(lái)說(shuō)，我們知道它每年都會(huì)到來(lái)，所以我們就可以早早提前開(kāi)始規(guī)劃。

The theme is definitely, to me, really just super cool. I mean, my whole life, I've just dreamed about time travel.

關(guān)于尋找涂鴉靈感的幸運(yùn)事是我們已經(jīng)有個(gè)主題。好比說(shuō)，如果我們?cè)趹c祝圣帕特里克節(jié)，我們可能就會(huì)研究愛(ài)爾蘭文化。

I would definitely go to see the dinosaurs.

我通常從研究起頭、尋找相關(guān)圖像，并從那里著手，開(kāi)始畫(huà)草圖、 腦力激盪出點(diǎn)子。

I may go back to the Renaissance, just to see what they were doing.

所以那靈感來(lái)自認(rèn)識(shí)我們正在繪制的事物。

I really find, like, the 1930s kind of interesting.

Doodle 4 Google 很了不起，因?yàn)檫@競(jìng)賽提供來(lái)自全國(guó)的孩子一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)做一天我們的工作。特別是，今年真的很酷。我對(duì)這個(gè)主題感到很興奮

I mean, I have no idea where I would want to go. But to be able to express what you want to do on paper and show that to everybody, that's just really cool.

這主題絕對(duì)是--對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)--真的就是超級(jí)酷的。我是說(shuō)，我一生中，我就夢(mèng)想過(guò)時(shí)光旅行。

Okay, I have some advice for young artists: There's no shortcuts.

我肯定會(huì)去看恐龍。

I would highly suggest that you draw everyday, and draw what you love.

我可能會(huì)回到文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期，只是去瞧瞧那時(shí)的人在做什么。

I think, above all, you should focus on having fun.

我真的覺(jué)得，像是，1930 年代有點(diǎn)有趣。

When you genuinely have fun, it shows.

我是說(shuō)，我一點(diǎn)也不知道我會(huì)想去哪。但能夠在紙上傳達(dá)你想做的事，并把那展示給所有人看，那真的就是非?？帷?/p>

You know, last year's winner just drew exactly what he loves. That's, you know, aliens devouring Google letters. And, you know, it wasn't trying to be right. It was just him having fun, and that definitely registered with us.

好的，我有些給年輕藝術(shù)家的建議：世上是沒(méi)有捷徑的。

This year, the winning student is Matteo Lopez, from South San Francisco, California.

我會(huì)強(qiáng)烈建議你每天畫(huà)圖，并畫(huà)你所愛(ài)的。

I think...well, I cried. Honestly...seriously, if you look at the footage from last year, when Matteo Lopez won, I was having a moment.

我想，最重要的事是，你應(yīng)該專(zhuān)注在得到樂(lè)趣上。

For me, the pinnacle of success, when I was growing up as a young artist, was to actually have my artwork pinned on the chalkboard, and, you know, have it shown in front of the whole class, that to me was...that was it! And for kids now to have their opportunity to have their artwork pinned on the homepage for millions of people to see, you know, that's just awesome.

當(dāng)你真正獲得樂(lè)趣時(shí)，這會(huì)顯現(xiàn)出來(lái)的。

你知道，去年的贏家就完全只是畫(huà)出他所愛(ài)的事物。那是，你知道，外星人吞下 Google 字母。 然而，你知道，涂鴉不是試著要正確真實(shí)。那只是他獲得樂(lè)趣，而我們絕對(duì)理解了。
