In an interview, RF had this to say:在一次采访中,射频是这样说:

What was the most difficult element of the project?什么是项目最困难的因素?

RF : A lot of the challenge in this video came in trying to find a balance between fully achieving the mood and look we wanted, while also making it possible for people to actually experience the video (in real-time) without totally freezing their computer. 射频 :一个视频很多的挑战,来到这个在试图找到一个平衡要充分实现我们的心情和期待,同时也使人们有可能真正体验到实时视频(实际)没有完全冻结他们的电脑。 Many standards with visual effects and compositing had to be re-thought in order to achieve this balance, and I think we pulled off what we were going for, although quite a few compromises had to be made for functionality.许多标准的视觉效果与合成,必须重新思考,以实现这种平衡,我认为我们脱掉我们要去的是什么,虽然不少妥协,必须作出的功能。

How receptive were the band to this idea?如何接受这一想法是带? Had they ever done anything like this before?如果他们做过这样的事吗?

RF : I think BMSR were pretty inspired by what we sent them, they hadn't seen the Arcade Fire “Neon Bible” video so the idea of making a video you could interact with took them by surprise. 射频 :我认为是相当BMSR他们启发我们发送,他们没有看到商场火“霓虹圣经”的视频互动的想法,以便使一个视频你可以把他们的惊喜。 The fact that you would be able to physically interact with their video made them very excited, because this kind of Technological Nature Magic goes hand in hand with their sound.事实上,你将能够用自己的身体互动视频令他们感到很兴奋,因为这样的技术性质魔术手去手用自己的声音。 When we first started discussing the idea it all seemed like this madman fantasy that wasn't really possible, so I think they were interested to see if we could actually pull off what we said we could!当我们第一次开始讨论的想法都喜欢这个疯子是幻想,这不是真的可能似乎,所以我认为他们有兴趣,看看我们实际上可以拉过我们说,我们可以!

Technically how did you put it together?技术上你是怎么把它在一起吗?

RF : We had shot several days worth of time-lapse to get exactly what we wanted as far as transition between night and day and lighting shifts. 射频 :我们开枪推移价值数天时间来正是我们想要尽可能昼夜之间的过渡和照明的变化。 Next our matte painter pain-stakingly expanded on each frame to get the specific foreground landscape and composition we wanted.  We then shot the live action elements in a way that would correspond to the lighting shifts.下一步我们的雾画家疼痛stakingly每个帧扩展到具体的前景得到我们想要的风景和组成。然后我们拍摄的方式,将符合生活照明变化采取行动的内容。 Then all of the 2D/3D animation elements were composited together in Flash (which is by no means meant for any kind of VFX!).接着,包括2D/3D动画元素都是在Flash复合在一起(这决不是任何一种特效的意思!是)。 Next I put together a very rough interactive skeleton that demonstrated how we wanted the interactivity to work, we then sent this to our Action Script programmer in Toronto which is when the really crazy back and forth insanity began.接下来,我成立了一个非常粗略的互动骨架,表明我们如何想的交互性工作,我们就派这对我们的行动脚本程序员是在多伦多的时候,真正疯狂的来回疯狂开始了。 Eventually we reached a version that would perform correctly on enough computers to have people actually experience this the way we envisioned, and that's when we sent it to the label.最后,我们达成一个版本,将足够的电脑上执行正常的人其实有这样的经验,我们设想的方式,那就是当我们把它的标签。

How did you make sure the different elements – jumping man, landscape, lighting all interacted?你是如何确定的 - 不同的元素跳跃的人,景观,灯饰相互影响?

RF : Our cinematographer Kevin Phillips had some brilliant ideas as to how to light the jumper during the shoot that would make it possible to achieve the feel of directional lighting (of the sun) in post, and then also extend that to the viewer once it went interactive. 射频 :我们的摄影师凯文菲利普斯有一些想法,以辉煌的光跳线如何在拍摄过程中,将有可能实现后感到太阳的方向),照明(,然后又延伸,为观众一旦去互动。 We ended up making a lot of animation layers of just tiny shadows and light play that were programmed to move simultaneously with the time-lapse, so it gives you the feeling that the environment and jumper are changing along with the sun.我们最终作出了公正和轻小的阴影发挥这一动议的程序与时间推移同时动画层很多,所以它给你的感觉,环境和跳线正在发生变化与太阳一起。

How did you arrive at the web cam idea?你是如何得出的网络摄像头的想法?

RF : There were these crude tests from 2006 (using Flash) where you wave your hand in front of a web-cam and a red dot on the screen follows the movements of your hand. 射频 :有(使用Flash这些原油考验2006年),你的波凸轮您的网页的手在前面的屏幕和一个红点上遵循你的手的动作的。 It's essentially the same technology used in video installations where insane programs like MAX/MSP Jitter are required, but here you could do it with a standard web-cam at your house.它本质上是相同的技术在视频疯狂的装置,这样的节目的Max / MSP抖动是必需的,但在这里,你可以做一个标准的网络,它在你的房子凸轮使用。 Knowing that all the new Mac laptops have a web cam built-in, we realized we could reach a decently wide audience.得知所有新的Mac笔记本电脑有一个摄像头内置的,我们意识到我们可以达到一个体面广泛的受众。 We wanted to take that technology and create something that would feel mystically beautiful and cinematic, where the technology that made it work was hidden and you would feel like you were using your body in some way to alter the environment and video.我们希望采取这一技术,有所创造,将美丽神秘的感觉和电影,其中技术,使得它的工作是隐藏的,你会感觉你是用某种方式来改变环境和视频你的身体。

And what about the mystic/neo-pagan aesthetic – what was that inspired by?关于什么神秘/新异教审美 - 什么是灵感?

RF : The last few BMSR albums have been very colorful sounding and almost folky in a very electronic way, while this new album sounds a little colder and in my opinion, slightly dark. 射频 :最后几BMSR专辑已folky电子方式在一个非常非常漂亮,几乎丰富多彩,而这个新专辑听起来有点冷,在我看来,微黑。 Visually we had/have also been moving into the darker side of Psychedelia, and for this video we really wanted to create something that would capture that.我们已经直观地/也迁入了迷幻的黑暗面,以及这部影片,我们真的想创造的东西,将捕获的。 I think maybe its our reaction to the neon drenched imagery that's very big right now in art and videos (which is undeniably cool of course), but it was good to put something out there that feels fantastical in a different way and has a darker more mystical undertone.我想也许它的反应的霓虹湿透的图象非常大的艺术和录像现在(这是无可否认当然凉),但它是很好的把一些有那种感觉的幻想以不同的方式,具有较深的神秘的低声。
