About four years ago, the New Yorker published an article
0
0
3000
Prije četiri godine New Yorker je objavio članak
00:19
about a cache of dodo bones that was found
1
3000
2000
o kostima ptice dodo pronađenim
00:21
in a pit on the island of Mauritius.
2
5000
3000
u jami na otoku Mauricijusu.
00:24
Now, the island of Mauritius is a small island
3
8000
2000
Mauricijus je malen otok
00:26
off the east coast of Madagascar
4
10000
3000
istočno od Madagaskara
00:29
in the Indian Ocean, and it is the place
5
13000
2000
u Indijskom oceanu. Na njemu je
00:31
where the dodo bird was discovered
6
15000
3000
ptica dodo otkrivena
00:34
and extinguished, all within about 150 years.
7
18000
3000
i istrijebljena, a sve to u 150 godina.
00:37
Everyone was very excited about this archaeological find,
8
21000
3000
To arheološko otkriće uzbudilo je mnoge
00:40
because it meant that they might finally be able
9
24000
2000
jer je značilo da se napokon može
00:42
to assemble a single dodo skeleton.
10
26000
2000
sastaviti jedinstveni kostur dodoa.
00:44
See, while museums all over the world
11
28000
2000
Razni muzeji po svijetu
00:46
have dodo skeletons in their collection, nobody --
12
30000
2000
imaju kosture dodoa u zbirkama, ali nijedan,
00:49
not even the actual Natural History Museum
13
33000
2000
pa čak ni Prirodoslovni muzej
00:51
on the island of Mauritius -- has a skeleton that's made
14
35000
2000
na Mauricijusu, nema kostur sastavljen
00:53
from the bones of a single dodo.
15
37000
3000
od kostiju jednog jedinog dodoa.
00:56
Well, this isn't exactly true.
16
40000
2000
Ustvari, to nije istina.
00:58
The fact is, is that the British Museum
17
42000
2000
Britanski muzej je zapravo
01:00
had a complete specimen of a dodo in their collection
18
44000
2000
posjedovao čitavog dodoa u svojoj zbirci
01:02
up until the 18th century --
19
46000
2000
sve do 18. stoljeća.
01:04
it was actually mummified, skin and all --
20
48000
2000
Bio je mumificiran, s kožom i svim,
01:06
but in a fit of space-saving zeal,
21
50000
2000
ali kako im je bilo jako važno uštedjeti na prostoru,
01:08
they actually cut off the head and they cut off the feet
22
52000
2000
tadašnji su djelatnici dodou odrezali glavu i noge,
01:10
and they burned the rest in a bonfire.
23
54000
3000
a ostatak spalili u krijesu.
01:13
If you go look at their website today,
24
57000
2000
Danas na njihovoj internetskoj stranici
01:15
they'll actually list these specimens, saying,
25
59000
2000
postoji popis ovih primjeraka, uz napomenu
01:17
the rest was lost in a fire.
26
61000
3000
da je ostatak "izgorio u požaru".
01:20
Not quite the whole truth. Anyway.
27
64000
3000
To baš i nije cijela priča. Uglavnom...
01:23
The frontispiece of this article was this photo,
28
67000
2000
Ovo je glavna fotografija tog članka.
01:25
and I'm one of the people that thinks that Tina Brown
29
69000
2000
Ja sam jedan od onih koji misle da je Tina Brown
01:27
was great for bringing photos to the New Yorker,
30
71000
2000
sjajna jer je uvela fotografije u New Yorker.
01:29
because this photo completely rocked my world.
31
73000
2000
I to zato jer je ova fotografija uzdrmala moj svijet.
01:31
I became obsessed with the object --
32
75000
2000
Postao sam opsjednut tim predmetom,
01:33
not just the beautiful photograph itself,
33
77000
2000
i to ne samo zbog ljepote same fotografije,
01:35
and the color, the shallow depth of field, the detail that's visible,
34
79000
3000
boje, male dubljine polja, detalja,
01:38
the wire you can see on the beak there
35
82000
2000
ili žice koja se vidi na kljunu,
01:40
that the conservator used to put this skeleton together --
36
84000
3000
koju je konzervator koristio pri sastavljanju kostura.
01:43
there's an entire story here.
37
87000
2000
Iza ovog leži cijela priča.
01:45
And I thought to myself,
38
89000
2000
Pomislio sam:
01:47
wouldn't it be great
39
91000
2000
ne bi li bilo sjajno
01:49
if I had my own dodo skeleton?
40
93000
3000
imati vlastiti kostur dodoa?
01:52
(Laughter)
41
96000
3000
(Smijeh)
01:55
I want to point out here at this point that
42
99000
3000
Moram vam sada priznati
01:58
I've spent my life obsessed
43
102000
2000
da sam cijeli život opsjednut
02:00
by objects and the stories that they tell,
44
104000
3000
predmetima i njihovim pričama,
02:03
and this was the very latest one.
45
107000
2000
a ovo je bila najnovija opsesija.
02:05
So I began looking around for --
46
109000
2000
Tako sam počeo tražiti
02:07
to see if anyone sold a kit,
47
111000
2000
nekoga tko prodaje pribor za izrađivanje
02:09
some kind of model that I could get,
48
113000
2000
ili nekakav model te ptice.
02:11
and I found lots of reference material, lots of lovely pictures.
49
115000
3000
I našao sam puno referenci, mnogo lijepih slika,
02:14
No dice: no dodo skeleton for me. But the damage had been done.
50
118000
4000
ali nažalost, nijednog kostura. No, povratka nije bilo.
02:18
I had saved a few hundred photos of dodo skeletons
51
122000
2000
Sačuvao sam nekoliko stotina slika kostura dodoa
02:20
into my "Creative Projects" folder --
52
124000
2000
u svoju mapu za "Kreativne projekte".
02:22
it's a repository for my brain, everything that I could possibly be interested in.
53
126000
3000
To je riznica za moj mozak, sve što me zanima.
02:25
Any time I have an internet connection,
54
129000
2000
Kad god sam na internetu
02:27
there's a sluice of stuff moving into there,
55
131000
3000
u tu mapu spremam slike svega i svačega,
02:30
everything from beautiful rings to cockpit photos.
56
134000
4000
od prekrasnih prstenova do pilotskih kabina.
02:34
The key that the Marquis du Lafayette sent to George Washington
57
138000
3000
Ključ kojeg je markiz od Lafayettea poslao Georgeu Washingtonu
02:37
to celebrate the storming of the Bastille.
58
141000
2000
povodom pada Bastille.
02:39
Russian nuclear launch key:
59
143000
1000
Ruski ključ za nuklearno lansiranje.
02:40
The one on the top is the picture of the one I found on eBay;
60
144000
2000
Na vrhu je ključ kojeg sam našao na eBayu,
02:42
the one on the bottom is the one I made for myself,
61
146000
3000
a ovog na dnu sam napravio za sebe
02:45
because I couldn't afford the one on eBay.
62
149000
2000
jer si nisam mogao priuštiti onog s eBaya.
02:47
Storm trooper costumes. Maps of Middle Earth --
63
151000
3000
Kostimi imperijalnih jurišnika, karte Međuzemlja.
02:50
that's one I hand-drew myself. There's the dodo skeleton folder.
64
154000
2000
Ovu sam nacrtao sam. Tu je i mapa s kosturima dodoa.
02:52
This folder has 17,000 photos --
65
156000
2000
Ova mapa ima 17 000 fotografija i
02:54
over 20 gigabytes of information --
66
158000
2000
preko 20 gigabajta podataka,
02:56
and it's growing constantly.
67
160000
2000
a stalno se povećava.
02:58
And one day, a couple of weeks later, it might have been
68
162000
3000
Jednog dana, nakon par tjedana ili možda
03:01
maybe a year later, I was in the art store with my kids,
69
165000
2000
godine dana, bio sam s djecom u dućanu
03:03
and I was buying some clay tools -- we were going to have a craft day.
70
167000
3000
i kupovao glinu za modeliranje. Imali smo Kreativni dan.
03:06
I bought some Super Sculpeys, some armature wire, some various materials.
71
170000
3000
Kupio sam glinu Super Sculpeys, alu-žicu i slično.
03:09
And I looked down at this Sculpey, and I thought,
72
173000
2000
Pogledao sam ovu kutiju Sculpey gline i pomislio:
03:11
maybe,
73
175000
2000
možda,
03:13
yeah, maybe I could make my own dodo skull.
74
177000
3000
možda bih mogao napraviti vlastiti kostur dodoa.
03:17
I should point out at this time -- I'm not a sculptor;
75
181000
2000
Moram vam reći da ja nisam kipar,
03:19
I'm a hard-edged model maker.
76
183000
2000
ali sam stručnjak za izrađivanje modela.
03:21
You give me a drawing, you give me a prop to replicate,
77
185000
3000
Dajte mi crtež, rekvizit koji mogu kopirati,
03:24
you give me a crane, scaffolding, parts from "Star Wars" --
78
188000
3000
dizalicu, skelu, dijelove iz Ratova zvijezda.
03:27
especially parts from "Star Wars" --
79
191000
2000
Posebno dijelove iz Ratova zvijezda.
03:29
I can do this stuff all day long.
80
193000
2000
Mogao bih to raditi cijeli dan.
03:31
It's exactly how I made my living for 15 years.
81
195000
2000
Upravo sam tako zarađivao za život 15 godina.
03:33
But you give me something like this --
82
197000
3000
Ali dajte mi nešto poput ovoga...
03:36
my friend Mike Murnane sculpted this;
83
200000
2000
Moj prijatelj Mike Murnane je oblikovao
03:38
it's a maquette for "Star Wars, Episode Two" --
84
202000
2000
ovu lutku za Ratove zvijezda II.
03:40
this is not my thing --
85
204000
2000
To nije moje područje.
03:42
this is something other people do -- dragons, soft things.
86
206000
3000
Tim se bave drugi - zmajevima i mekanim oblicima.
03:45
However, I felt like I had looked at enough photos of dodo skulls
87
209000
4000
No, pogledao sam dovoljno slika tog kostura
03:49
to actually be able to
88
213000
2000
i mislio sam da
03:51
understand the topology and perhaps replicate it --
89
215000
3000
razumijem topologiju lika i da ga mogu kopirati.
03:54
I mean, it couldn't be that difficult.
90
218000
2000
Koliko to može biti teško?
03:56
So, I started looking at the best photos I could find.
91
220000
3000
Počeo sam tražiti najbolje fotografije.
03:59
I grabbed all the reference,
92
223000
2000
Uzeo sam sve prikupljene reference
04:01
and I found this lovely piece of reference.
93
225000
2000
i našao ovu prekrasnu fotografiju.
04:03
This is someone selling this on eBay;
94
227000
2000
Netko je ovo prodavao na eBayu.
04:05
it was clearly a woman’s hand, hopefully a woman's hand.
95
229000
3000
To je očito ženska ruka. Barem se nadam.
04:08
Assuming it was roughly the size of my wife's hand,
96
232000
2000
Vjerojatno je iste veličine kao i od moje žene.
04:10
I made some measurements of her thumb, and I scaled them out to the size of the skull.
97
234000
3000
Izmjerio sam njen palac i usporedio sve s veličinom lubanje.
04:13
I blew it up to the actual size, and I began using that,
98
237000
3000
Povećao sam sliku do prirodne veličine i to koristio,
04:16
along with all the other reference that I had, comparing it to it
99
240000
2000
uz ostale reference. Sve sam uspoređivao kako bih
04:18
as size reference for figuring out exactly how big the beak should be,
100
242000
3000
odredio koliko velik treba biti kljun,
04:21
exactly how long, etc.
101
245000
2000
koliko dugačak, i slično.
04:23
And over a few hours, I eventually achieved
102
247000
3000
Nakon par sati sam uspio napraviti
04:26
what was actually a pretty reasonable dodo skull. And I didn't mean to continue, I --
103
250000
3000
prilično dobru lubanju dodoa. Nisam namjeravao nastaviti.
04:29
it's kind of like, you know, you can only clean a super messy room
104
253000
3000
Ali, kao i kod čišćenja jako neuredne sobe,
04:32
by picking up one thing at a time; you can't think about the totality.
105
256000
3000
uspjet ćete samo ako radite stvar po stvar, a ne odjednom.
04:35
I wasn't thinking about a dodo skeleton;
106
259000
2000
Nisam mislio o cijelom kosturu.
04:37
I just noticed that as I finished this skull,
107
261000
2000
Ali kad sam dovršio lubanju vidio sam
04:39
the armature wire that I had been used to holding it up
108
263000
2000
da žica koja ju je pridržavala
04:41
was sticking out of the back just where a spine would be.
109
265000
2000
viri iz njenog kraja točno poput kralježnice.
04:43
And one of the other things I'd been interested in and obsessed with over the years
110
267000
3000
Godinama su me zanimali i fascinirali
04:46
is spines and skeletons, having collected a couple of hundred.
111
270000
3000
kosturi i kralježnice. Skupio sam ih na stotine.
04:49
I actually understood the mechanics
112
273000
2000
Dovoljno sam poznavao svojstva
04:51
of vertebrae enough to kind of start to imitate them.
113
275000
3000
kralježaka i mogao sam ih imitirati.
04:54
And so button by button,
114
278000
2000
Tako sam gumb po gumb,
04:56
vertebrae by vertebrae, I built my way down.
115
280000
3000
kralježak po kralježak, nastavio raditi.
04:59
And actually, by the end of the day, I had a reasonable skull,
116
283000
3000
Do kraja dana imao sam lubanju,
05:02
a moderately good vertebrae and half of a pelvis.
117
286000
4000
prilično dobre kralješke i pola zdjelice.
05:06
And again, I kept on going, looking for more reference,
118
290000
3000
Nastavio sam tražiti materijale,
05:09
every bit of reference I could find -- drawings, beautiful photos.
119
293000
3000
sve što se moglo naći - crteže, prekrasne fotografije.
05:12
This guy -- I love this guy! He put a dodo leg bones on a scanner
120
296000
3000
Ovaj tip - obožavam ga! Skenirao je nogu dodoa
05:15
with a ruler.
121
299000
2000
zajedno s ravnalom.
05:17
This is the kind of accuracy that I wanted,
122
301000
2000
Takvu sam preciznost tražio,
05:19
and I
123
303000
2000
te sam jednostavno
05:21
replicated every last bone and put it in.
124
305000
2000
napravio kopije svih kostiju i sastavio ih.
05:23
And after about six weeks,
125
307000
3000
Nakon otprilike šest tjedana
05:26
I finished, painted, mounted
126
310000
3000
dovršio sam, obojao i postavio
05:29
my own dodo skeleton.
127
313000
3000
vlastitog kostura ptice dodo.
05:34
You can see that I even made a museum label for it
128
318000
2000
Čak sam napravio natpis kao u muzeju
05:36
that includes a brief history of the dodo.
129
320000
2000
s kratkom poviješću ptice.
05:38
And TAP Plastics made me -- although I didn't photograph it --
130
322000
2000
Nemam fotografiju, no tvrtka TAP Plastics mi je izradila
05:40
a museum vitrine.
131
324000
2000
i muzejsku vitrinu.
05:42
I don't have the room for this in my house,
132
326000
2000
U mojoj kući nema mjesta za ovo,
05:44
but I had to finish what I had started.
133
328000
3000
ali morao sam dovršiti započeto.
05:47
And this actually represented kind of a sea change to me.
134
331000
3000
Ovo je za mene bila značajna promjena.
05:50
Again, like I said, my life has been about
135
334000
2000
Moj se život sastojao od
05:52
being fascinated by objects and the stories that they tell,
136
336000
2000
fascinacije predmetima i njihovim pričama,
05:54
and also making them for myself, obtaining them,
137
338000
3000
te njihovom izradom. Želio sam ih imati,
05:57
appreciating them and diving into them.
138
341000
3000
cijeniti i dati im da me obuzmu.
06:00
And in this folder, "Creative Projects,"
139
344000
2000
U ovoj mapi "Kreativni projekti"
06:02
there are tons of projects that I'm currently working on,
140
346000
3000
su projekti na kojima sada radim,
06:05
projects that I've already worked on, things that I might want to work on some day,
141
349000
3000
oni koje sam napravio, ili koje namjeravam raditi,
06:08
and things that I may just want to find and buy and have
142
352000
3000
i stvari koje mislim pronaći, kupiti, imati,
06:11
and look at and touch.
143
355000
2000
gledati ih i dodirivati.
06:13
But now there was potentially this new category of things
144
357000
3000
No sada se pojavila nova kategorija - skulpture,
06:16
that I could sculpt
145
360000
2000
stvari koje mogu oblikovati,
06:18
that was different, that I -- you know,
146
362000
2000
a to je drukčije, znate.
06:20
I have my own R2D2, but that's --
147
364000
2000
Imam vlastitog R2D2, ali to je
06:22
honestly, relative to sculpting, to me, that's easy.
148
366000
3000
lako, u usporedbi s izradom skulpture.
06:25
And so I went back and looked through my "Creative Projects" folder,
149
369000
3000
Opet sam pogledao svoju mapu "Kreativni projekti
06:28
and I happened across the Maltese Falcon.
150
372000
3000
i naišao sam na Malteškog sokola.
06:32
Now, this is funny for me:
151
376000
3000
Ovo je meni smiješno:
06:35
to fall in love with an object from a Hammett novel,
152
379000
3000
zaljubiti se u predmet iz Hammettovog romana,
06:38
because if it's true that the world is divided into two types of people,
153
382000
2000
jer ako se svijet dijeli na dvije vrste ljudi,
06:40
Chandler people and Hammett people, I am absolutely a Chandler person.
154
384000
3000
one koji vole Hammetta i one koji vole Chandlera, ja sam za Chandlera.
06:43
But in this case,
155
387000
2000
No, ovdje se ne radi o
06:45
it's not about the author, it's not about the book or the movie or the story,
156
389000
4000
autoru, knjizi, filmu ili priči.
06:49
it's about the object in and of itself.
157
393000
2000
Tu je važan sam predmet i njegova bit.
06:51
And in this case, this object is --
158
395000
3000
U ovom slučaju, predmet
06:54
plays on a host of levels.
159
398000
3000
postoji na više razina.
06:57
First of all, there's the object in the world.
160
401000
2000
Prvo, on je predmet u stvarnom svijetu.
06:59
This is the "Kniphausen Hawk."
161
403000
2000
Ovo je kniphausenški sokol,
07:01
It is a ceremonial pouring vessel
162
405000
2000
to je obredna posuda
07:03
made around 1700 for a Swedish Count,
163
407000
4000
izrađena oko 1700. za jednog švedskog grofa.
07:07
and it is very likely the object from which
164
411000
2000
To je predmet koji je vjerojatno
07:09
Hammett drew his inspiration for the Maltese Falcon.
165
413000
3000
inspirirao Hametta da stvori Malteškog sokola.
07:12
Then there is the fictional bird, the one that Hammett created for the book.
166
416000
3000
Zatim je tu ptica koju je Hammet stvorio za roman.
07:15
Built out of words, it is the engine
167
419000
2000
Napravljena je od riječi i ona
07:17
that drives the plot of his book and also the movie,
168
421000
3000
pokreće radnju. Tu je i film,
07:20
in which another object is created:
169
424000
2000
u kojem je stvoren još jedan predmet:
07:22
a prop that has to represent the thing that Hammett created out of words,
170
426000
3000
rekvizit koji predstavlja Hammettovog lika od riječi,
07:25
inspired by the Kniphausen Hawk, and this represents the falcon in the movie.
171
429000
4000
koji je inspiriran kniphauserškim sokolom.
07:29
And then there is this fourth level, which is
172
433000
2000
Zatim imamo četvrtu razinu, a nju čini
07:31
a whole new object in the world:
173
435000
2000
potpuno novi predmet u stvarnosti:
07:33
the prop made for the movie, the representative of the thing,
174
437000
3000
rekvizit za film, koji predstavlja originalni predmet,
07:36
becomes, in its own right,
175
440000
2000
postaje na svoj način
07:38
a whole other thing,
176
442000
2000
jedna potpuno nova stvar.
07:40
a whole new object of desire.
177
444000
2000
Novi predmet čežnje.
07:42
And so now it was time to do some research.
178
446000
2000
Uslijedilo je novo istraživanje,
07:44
I actually had done some research
179
448000
2000
iako me to već i prije par godina
07:46
a few years before -- it's why the folder was there.
180
450000
2000
zanimalo. Zato sam imao i mapu s tim.
07:48
I'd bought a replica, a really crappy replica,
181
452000
2000
Kupio sam stvarno lošu kopiju
07:50
of the Maltese Falcon on eBay,
182
454000
2000
Malteškog sokola na eBayu,
07:52
and had downloaded enough pictures to actually
183
456000
2000
te sačuvao dovoljno fotografija
07:54
have some reasonable reference.
184
458000
2000
kako bih imao dobre reference.
07:56
But I discovered,
185
460000
2000
No, otkrio sam
07:58
in researching further,
186
462000
2000
dalje istražujući
08:00
really wanting precise reference, that
187
464000
3000
u potrazi sa boljim referencama, da je
08:03
one of the original lead birds
188
467000
2000
jednu od originalnih olovnih ptica
08:05
had been sold at Christie's in 1994,
189
469000
2000
prodao Christie's 1994.
08:07
and so I contacted an antiquarian bookseller
190
471000
3000
Kontaktirao sam antikvarijat
08:10
who had the original Christie's catalogue,
191
474000
2000
koji je imao originalni katalog Christie'sa
08:12
and in it I found this magnificent picture,
192
476000
2000
i u njemu našao ovu sjajnu fotografiju
08:14
which included a size reference.
193
478000
2000
zajedno s mjerama.
08:16
I was able to scan the picture, blow it up to exactly full size.
194
480000
4000
Skenirao sam ju i povećao do prirodne veličine.
08:20
I found other reference. Avi [Ara] Chekmayan,
195
484000
2000
Našao sam još materijala. Avi (Ara) Chekmayan,
08:22
a New Jersey editor, actually found this
196
486000
2000
urednik iz New Jerseyja, pronašao je
08:24
resin Maltese Falcon
197
488000
2000
ovog Malteškog sokola od smole
08:26
at a flea market in 1991,
198
490000
3000
na buvljaku 1991.
08:29
although it took him five years
199
493000
2000
No, trebalo mu je pet godina da
08:31
to authenticate this bird to
200
495000
2000
dobije potvrdu autentičnosti
08:33
the auctioneers' specifications,
201
497000
2000
prema specifikacijama aukcijske kuće,
08:35
because there was a lot of controversy about it.
202
499000
2000
jer je predmet pratila kontroverza.
08:37
It was made out of resin, which wasn't a common material for movie props
203
501000
2000
Izrađena je od smole koja se nije koristila za filmske rekvizite
08:39
about the time the movie was made.
204
503000
2000
u vrijeme snimanja tog filma.
08:41
It's funny to me that it took a while to authenticate it,
205
505000
2000
Smiješno je da je potvrda autentičnosti trajala dugo
08:43
because I can see it compared to this thing,
206
507000
2000
jer je u usporedbi s originalom meni očito,
08:45
and I can tell you -- it's real, it's the real thing,
207
509000
2000
da je to prava stvar.
08:47
it's made from the exact same mold that this one is.
208
511000
3000
Izrađena je iz istog kalupa kao i ova.
08:50
In this one, because the auction was actually so controversial,
209
514000
3000
Aukcija je bila toliko kontroverzna da je
08:53
Profiles in History, the auction house that sold this --
210
517000
2000
aukcijska kuća Profiles in History,
08:55
I think in 1995 for about 100,000 dollars --
211
519000
2000
koja ju je 1995. prodala za 100 000 dolara,
08:57
they actually included -- you can see here on the bottom --
212
521000
3000
navela, vidite ovdje na dnu,
09:00
not just a front elevation, but also
213
524000
2000
ne samo prednju stranu sokola, već i
09:02
a side, rear
214
526000
2000
obje strane i
09:04
and other side elevation.
215
528000
2000
pozadinu.
09:06
So now, I had all the topology I needed
216
530000
3000
Imao sam svu topologiju potrebnu
09:09
to replicate the Maltese Falcon.
217
533000
2000
za izradu kopije Malteškog sokola.
09:11
What do they do, how do you start something like that? I really don't know.
218
535000
3000
Kako uopće započeti nešto takvo? Nemam pojma.
09:14
So what I did was, again, like I did with the dodo skull,
219
538000
2000
Ponovno sam, kao i s kosturom dodoa,
09:16
I blew all my reference up to full size,
220
540000
3000
sve slike povećao na prirodnu veličinu
09:19
and then I began cutting out the negatives and using
221
543000
2000
i izrezao negative, te ih
09:21
those templates as shape references.
222
545000
2000
poput šablona koristio za određivanje oblika ptice.
09:23
So I took Sculpey, and I built a big block of it,
223
547000
2000
Uzeo sam glinu Sculpey i napravio veliku gromadu,
09:25
and I passed it through until, you know, I got the right profiles.
224
549000
3000
te ju polako oblikovao, dok nisam dobio prave mjere.
09:28
And then slowly, feather by feather, detail by detail,
225
552000
3000
Zatim sam polako, pero po pero, detalj po detalj,
09:31
I worked out and achieved --
226
555000
2000
radio i uspio.
09:33
working in front of the television and Super Sculpey --
227
557000
2000
Radio sam pred televizijom. Tu je Super Sculpey i
09:35
here's me sitting next to my wife --
228
559000
2000
ja kraj svoje žene.
09:37
it's the only picture I took of the entire process.
229
561000
3000
To je jedina fotografija cijelog procesa.
09:40
As I moved through, I achieved
230
564000
2000
Postupno sam uspio napraviti
09:42
a very reasonable facsimile of the Maltese Falcon.
231
566000
2000
poštenu kopiju Malteškog sokola.
09:44
But again, I am not a sculptor,
232
568000
2000
No, ja inače ne izrađujem skulpture
09:46
and so I don't know a lot of the tricks, like,
233
570000
2000
pa ne znam puno trikova.
09:49
I don't know how my friend Mike gets beautiful, shiny surfaces with his Sculpey;
234
573000
3000
Ne znam kako moj prijatelj Mike dobije glatke, sjajne površine.
09:52
I certainly wasn't able to get it.
235
576000
2000
Meni sigurno nije uspjelo.
09:54
So, I went down to my shop,
236
578000
2000
Zato sam otišao u svoju radionicu
09:56
and I molded it and I cast it in resin,
237
580000
3000
i napravio odljev od smole,
09:59
because in the resin, then, I could absolutely get the glass smooth finished.
238
583000
3000
jer sa smolom mogu dobiti glatki sjaj poput stakla.
10:02
Now there's a lot of ways to fill and get yourself a nice smooth finish.
239
586000
3000
Postoji više načina kako postići taj fini glatki sjaj.
10:05
My preference is about 70 coats of this --
240
589000
3000
Osobno volim staviti oko 70 slojeva ove
10:08
matte black auto primer.
241
592000
2000
crne mat boje za auto.
10:10
I spray it on for about three or four days, it drips to hell,
242
594000
3000
Nanosim je tri do četiri dana, kapa kao sam vrag,
10:13
but it allows me a really, really nice gentle sanding surface
243
597000
3000
ali na kraju imam finu površinu za brušenje
10:16
and I can get it glass-smooth.
244
600000
2000
koju ispoliram da bude glatka poput stakla.
10:18
Oh, finishing up with triple-zero steel wool.
245
602000
2000
Na kraju ju obradim čeličnom vunom.
10:20
Now, the great thing about getting it to this point was that
246
604000
3000
Pravo zadovoljstvo je uslijedilo kad sam bio skoro gotov.
10:23
because in the movie, when they finally bring out the bird at the end,
247
607000
2000
Na kraju filma, kad napokon donesu pticu i
10:25
and they place it on the table, they actually spin it.
248
609000
3000
stave je na stol, zavrte ju.
10:28
So I was able to actually
249
612000
2000
Zato sam mogao
10:30
screen-shot and freeze-frame to make sure.
250
614000
3000
zaustaviti svaki kadar kako bih bio siguran da je sve dobro.
10:33
And I'm following all the light kicks on this thing and making sure that as I'm holding the light
251
617000
3000
Pratio sam svaki odsjaj svjetla i pazio da držim
10:36
in the same position, I'm getting the same type of reflection on it --
252
620000
3000
kip na istom mjestu kako bi svjetlo isto padalo.
10:39
that's the level of detail I'm going into this thing.
253
623000
3000
Toliko sam pazio na sve detalje.
10:42
I ended up with this: my Maltese Falcon.
254
626000
3000
I na kraju sam imao ovo: svog vlastitog Malteškog sokola.
10:45
And it's beautiful. And I can state with authority
255
629000
2000
Prekrasan je. I tvrdim da
10:47
at this point in time, when I'd finished it,
256
631000
2000
je u trenutku kada sam dovršio sokola,
10:49
of all of the replicas out there -- and there is a few --
257
633000
3000
od mnogobrojnih kopija
10:52
this is by far the most accurate
258
636000
2000
upravo moja najtočnija replika
10:54
representation of the original Maltese Falcon
259
638000
2000
originalnog Malteškog sokola.
10:56
than anyone has sculpted. Now the original one, I should tell you,
260
640000
3000
Originalnog sokola je izradio
10:59
is sculpted by a guy named Fred Sexton.
261
643000
2000
tip koji se zvao Fred Sexton.
11:01
This is where it gets weird.
262
645000
3000
Tu stvari postaju čudne.
11:04
Fred Sexton was a friend of this guy, George Hodel.
263
648000
3000
Fred Sexton je bio prijatelj Georgea Hodela.
11:07
Terrifying guy -- agreed by many to be the killer
264
651000
2000
Zastrašujući tip kojeg većina smatra
11:09
of the Black Dahlia.
265
653000
2000
ubojicom Crne Dalije.
11:11
Now, James Ellroy believes
266
655000
2000
James Ellroy vjeruje
11:13
that Fred Sexton, the sculptor of the Maltese Falcon,
267
657000
3000
da je Fred Sexton, koji je izradio Malteškog sokola,
11:16
killed James Elroy's mother.
268
660000
2000
ubio majku Jamesa Elroya.
11:18
I'll go you one stranger than that: In 1974,
269
662000
3000
Postaje još čudnije. To se dogodilo 1974.
11:21
during the production of a weird comedy sequel to "The Maltese Falcon,"
270
665000
3000
tijekom snimanja nastavka "Malteškog sokola", čudne komedije
11:24
called "The Black Bird," starring George Segal,
271
668000
2000
zvane "Crna ptica", u kojoj je glumio George Segal.
11:26
the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
272
670000
2000
Muzej umjetnosti Los Angelesa
11:28
had a plaster original of the Maltese Falcon --
273
672000
2000
imao je gipsani original Malteškog sokola.
11:30
one of the original six plasters, I think, made for the movie --
274
674000
3000
Za film ih je napravljeno šest.
11:33
stolen out of the museum. A lot of people thought
275
677000
2000
Tog su sokola ukrali iz muzeja. Mnogi su
11:35
it was a publicity stunt for the movie.
276
679000
2000
mislili da je to marketinški trik za film.
11:37
John's Grill, which actually
277
681000
2000
John's Grill je zalogajnica koja se može
11:39
is seen briefly in "The Maltese Falcon,"
278
683000
2000
na kratko vidjeti u "Malteškom sokolu",
11:41
is still a viable San Francisco eatery,
279
685000
2000
i koja još uvijek nudi poštenu hranu.
11:43
counted amongst its regular customers Elisha Cook,
280
687000
2000
U nju je često dolazio Elisha Cook
11:45
who played Wilmer Cook in the movie,
281
689000
2000
koji glumi Wilmera Cooka u filmu.
11:47
and he gave them
282
691000
2000
On im je darovao
11:49
one of his original plasters of the Maltese Falcon.
283
693000
3000
jedan od originalnih Malteških sokola.
11:52
And they had it in their cabinet for about 15 years,
284
696000
3000
Imali su ga 15 godina u vitrini
11:55
until it got stolen
285
699000
2000
dok nije ukraden
11:57
in January of 2007.
286
701000
3000
u siječnju 2007.
12:00
It would seem that the object of desire
287
704000
2000
Čini se da predmet čežnje postaje
12:02
only comes into its own by disappearing repeatedly.
288
706000
3000
ono što jest samo kroz neprestano nestajanje.
12:05
So here I had this Falcon,
289
709000
2000
I tako sam imao ovog sokola i
12:07
and it was lovely. It looked really great,
290
711000
2000
bio je divan. Izgledao je sjajno.
12:09
the light worked on it really well,
291
713000
2000
Svjetlo je na njega padalo savršeno i
12:11
it was better than anything that I could achieve
292
715000
2000
nisam mogao boljeg napraviti
12:13
or obtain out in the world.
293
717000
2000
ili nabaviti nigdje drugdje.
12:15
But there was a problem. And the problem was that:
294
719000
3000
Ali, postojao je problem:
12:19
I wanted the entirety of the object,
295
723000
2000
želio sam taj predmet u njegovoj potpunosti,
12:21
I wanted the weight behind the object.
296
725000
3000
želio sam težinu koju je imao original.
12:24
This thing was made of resin and it was too light.
297
728000
2000
Kopija od smole bila je prelagana.
12:26
There's this group online that I frequent.
298
730000
2000
Na internetu često posjećujem grupu
12:28
It's a group of prop crazies just like me
299
732000
3000
koju čine zaljubljenici u rekvizite poput mene.
12:31
called the Replica Props Forum, and it's people who trade,
300
735000
2000
Zove se Forum rekvizita i na njemu ljudi nude
12:33
make and travel in information about movie props.
301
737000
3000
i traže informacije o filmskim rekvizitima.
12:36
And it turned out that one of the guys there,
302
740000
2000
Ispostavilo sa da je jedan od članova
12:38
a friend of mine that I never actually met,
303
742000
3000
moj prijatelj, kojeg nisam osobno poznavao,
12:41
but befriended through some prop deals, was the manager of a local foundry.
304
745000
2000
ali smo razmjenjivali rekvizite. On je bio vlasnik ljevaonice.
12:43
He took my master Falcon pattern,
305
747000
3000
Uzeo je moj glavni primjerak sokola
12:46
he actually did lost wax casting
306
750000
2000
i napravio odljev u vosku, a zatim
12:48
in bronze for me,
307
752000
2000
u bronci za mene.
12:50
and this is the bronze I got back.
308
754000
2000
Ovo je bronca koju sam dobio.
12:52
And this is, after some acid etching, the one that I ended up with.
309
756000
2000
A ovo je, nakon bakroreza, konačni proizvod.
12:54
And this thing, it's deeply, deeply satisfying to me.
310
758000
3000
Ova me stvar duboko ispunjava.
12:57
Here, I'm going to put it out there,
311
761000
2000
Evo, stavit ću je ovdje
12:59
later on tonight, and
312
763000
3000
da je kasnije možete pogledati izbliza.
13:03
I want you to pick it up and handle it.
313
767000
3000
Želim da ju uzmete i promotrite.
13:07
You want to know
314
771000
3000
Želite li znati koliko sam
13:10
how obsessed I am. This project's only for me,
315
774000
2000
opsjednut? Ovaj je projekt samo za mene,
13:12
and yet I went so far as to buy on eBay
316
776000
3000
ali sam ipak otišao na eBay i kupio
13:15
a 1941 Chinese San Francisco-based newspaper,
317
779000
3000
kineske novine tiskane u San Francisu 1941.,
13:18
in order so that the bird could properly be wrapped ...
318
782000
3000
samo kako bi ptica mogla biti u njih umotana...
13:22
like it is in the movie.
319
786000
2000
baš kao u filmu.
13:24
(Laughter)
320
788000
4000
(Smijeh)
13:28
Yeah, I know!
321
792000
2000
Da, znam!
13:30
(Laughter) (Applause)
322
794000
5000
(Smijeh) (Pljesak)
13:35
There you can see, it's weighing in at 27 and a half pounds.
323
799000
3000
Sokol teži 12 i pol kilograma.
13:38
That's half the weight of my dog, Huxley.
324
802000
3000
To je pola težine mog psa Huxleyja.
13:42
But there's a problem.
325
806000
3000
No, postoji problem.
13:45
Now, here's the most recent progression of Falcons.
326
809000
3000
Ovdje vidite sve moje sokole.
13:48
On the far left is a piece of crap -- a replica I bought on eBay.
327
812000
3000
Lijevo je loša kopija s eBaya.
13:51
There's my somewhat ruined Sculpey Falcon,
328
815000
2000
Zatim moj sokol od gline Sculpey,
13:53
because I had to get it back out of the mold. There's my first casting,
329
817000
3000
oštećen od vađenja iz kalupa. Tu je moj prvi odljev,
13:56
there's my master and there's my bronze.
330
820000
2000
moj glavni sokol i na kraju, odljev u bronci.
13:58
There's a thing that happens when you mold and cast things,
331
822000
3000
Kad radite odljev ili gipsate nešto događa se to
14:01
which is that every time you throw it into silicone and cast it in resin,
332
825000
2000
da svaki put kad napravite odljev u smoli
14:03
you lose a little bit of volume, you lose a little bit of size.
333
827000
3000
gubite malo volumena, veličina se smanjuje.
14:06
And when I held my bronze one up against my Sculpey one,
334
830000
3000
Kada sam usporedio sokola od gline i od bronce
14:09
it was shorter by three-quarters of an inch.
335
833000
3000
vidio sam da je brončani sokol manji dva centimetra.
14:12
Yeah, no, really, this was like aah --
336
836000
3000
Ne, ozbiljno, bio sam šokiran.
14:16
why didn't I remember this?
337
840000
2000
Zašto se nisam toga sjetio?
14:18
Why didn't I start and make it bigger?
338
842000
3000
Zašto ga nisam od početka napravio većeg?
14:21
So what do I do? I figure I have two options.
339
845000
3000
Što sad? Imao sam dvije opcije.
14:24
One, I can fire a freaking laser at it,
340
848000
3000
Prvo, mogao sam naciljati laser u njega.
14:27
which I have already done,
341
851000
2000
To sam već napravio, kako
14:29
to do a 3D scan -- there's a 3D scan of this Falcon.
342
853000
2000
bih ga skenirao u 3D. Evo ga ovdje.
14:31
I had figured out the exact amount of shrinkage I achieved
343
855000
3000
Izračunao sam koliko se smanjio
14:34
going from a wax master to a bronze master
344
858000
2000
dok je bio odljevan u vosku, a onda u bronci.
14:36
and blown this up big enough to make
345
860000
2000
Povećao sam ga i napravio
14:38
a 3D lithography master of this,
346
862000
2000
3D litografiju originala
14:40
which I will polish, then I will send to the mold maker
347
864000
3000
koju sam htio ispolirati i poslati na odljev
14:43
and then I will have it done in bronze. Or:
348
867000
3000
kako bih je mogao imati u bronci. Ili...
14:46
There are several people who own originals,
349
870000
2000
Postoje ljudi koji posjeduju originalne sokole.
14:48
and I have been attempting to contact them and reach them,
350
872000
3000
Pokušao sam doći do njih
14:51
hoping that they will let me spend a few minutes
351
875000
3000
u nadi da će mi dopustiti par trenutaka
14:54
in the presence of one of the real birds, maybe to take a picture,
352
878000
2000
s originalnom pticom. Možda bih ju mogao fotografirati,
14:56
or even to pull out the hand-held laser scanner
353
880000
3000
ili čak izvući ručni skener
14:59
that I happen to own that fits inside a cereal box,
354
883000
3000
koji posjedujem, a stane u kutiju pahuljica.
15:02
and could maybe, without even touching their bird, I swear,
355
886000
2000
Možda bih mogao, bez diranja ptice, obećajem,
15:04
get a perfect 3D scan. And I'm even willing to sign pages
356
888000
3000
dobiti savršenu 3D sliku. Voljan sam potpisati ugovor
15:07
saying that I'll never let anyone else have it, except for me in my office, I promise.
357
891000
3000
da pticu neće vidjeti nitko osim mene, u mom uredu.
15:10
I'll give them one if they want it.
358
894000
3000
Čak ću im i dati jednu kopiju ako žele.
15:13
And then, maybe, then I'll achieve the end of this exercise.
359
897000
3000
Tada ću možda napokon ovo privesti kraju.
15:16
But really, if we're all going to be honest with ourselves,
360
900000
2000
No, budimo sada iskreni.
15:18
I have to admit that achieving the end of the exercise
361
902000
2000
Moram priznati da privesti kraju ovo putovanje
15:21
was never the point of the exercise to begin with, was it.
362
905000
3000
nikad nije bila njegova svrha, zar ne?
15:24
Thank you.
363
908000
3000
Hvala vam.
