I had a fire nine days ago.

Pre devet dana desio se požar.
00:23
My archive:
1
5000
2000
Moja arhiva:
00:25
175 films, my 16-millimeter negative,
2
7000
3000
175 filmova, moji 16-milimetarski negativi,
00:28
all my books, my dad's books, my photographs.
3
10000
3000
sve moje i očeve knjige, fotografije.
00:31
I'd collected --
4
13000
2000
Sakupljao sam --
00:33
I was a collector, major, big-time.
5
15000
2000
Bio sam kolekcionar, veliki kolekcionar.
00:35
It's gone.
6
17000
3000
Nestalo je.
00:38
I just looked at it,
7
20000
2000
Samo sam gledao u to
00:40
and I didn't know what to do.
8
22000
3000
i nisam znao šta da radim.
00:43
I mean, this was --
9
25000
2000
Hoću reći, ovo su bile --
00:45
was I my things?
10
27000
3000
bile moje stvari?
00:48
I always live in the present -- I love the present.
11
30000
3000
Oduvek sam ziveo u sadašnjosti -- volim sadašnjost.
00:51
I cherish the future.
12
33000
3000
Cenim budućnost.
00:54
And I was taught some strange thing as a kid,
13
36000
3000
Naučio sam neke čudne stvari kao dečak,
00:57
like, you've got to make something good out of something bad.
14
39000
2000
kao na primer to da moram da napravim dobru stvar od loše.
00:59
You've got to make something good out of something bad.
15
41000
2000
Moram da napravim dobru stvar od loše.
01:01
This was bad! Man, I was --
16
43000
2000
Ovo je bilo loše. Bio sam --
01:03
I cough. I was sick.
17
45000
2000
Kašljao sam. Bio sam bolestan.
01:05
That's my camera lens. The first one --
18
47000
2000
Ovo je moj objektiv. Prvi objektiv --
01:07
the one I shot my Bob Dylan film with 35 years ago.
19
49000
3000
onaj sa kojim sam snimio film o Bobu Dilanu pre 35 godina.
01:10
That's my feature film. "King, Murray"
20
52000
2000
Ovo je moj film "Kralj Marej"
01:12
won Cannes Film Festival 1970 --
21
54000
2000
koji je osvojio nagradu na festivalu u Kanu 1970. --
01:14
the only print I had.
22
56000
3000
jedina kopija koju sam imao.
01:17
That's my papers.
23
59000
2000
Ovo su moji papiri.
01:19
That was in minutes -- 20 minutes.
24
61000
2000
To su bile minute -- 20 minuta.
01:21
Epiphany hit me. Something hit me.
25
63000
2000
Desilo mi se prosvetljenje. Nesto me je udarilo.
01:23
"You've got to make something good out of something bad,"
26
65000
3000
Moram da napravim dobru stvar od loše.
01:27
I started to say to my friends, neighbors, my sister.
27
69000
2000
Počeo sam da govorim mojim prijateljima, komšijama, sestri.
01:29
By the way, that's "Sputnik." I ran it last year.
28
71000
2000
Inače ovo je Sputnjik. Sniman prošle godine.
01:31
"Sputnik" was downtown, the negative. It wasn't touched.
29
73000
3000
Sputnjikov negativ je bio u centru grada. Ostao je netaknut.
01:35
These are some pieces of things I used in my Sputnik feature film,
30
77000
3000
Ovo su neke sitnice koje sam koristio u Sputnjiku,
01:38
which opens in New York in two weeks
31
80000
2000
koji ima premijeru u Njujorku za dve nedelje
01:40
downtown.
32
82000
3000
u centru grada.
01:44
I called my sister. I called my neighbors. I said, "Come dig."
33
86000
2000
Zvao sam sestru. Zvao sam komšije. Rekao sam im: "Dođite da kopamo".
01:46
That's me at my desk.
34
88000
3000
Ovo sam ja za svojim stolom.
01:50
That was a desk took 40-some years to build.
35
92000
2000
To je bio sto koji je pravljen 40 godina.
01:52
You know -- all the stuff.
36
94000
2000
Znate -- sve stvari.
01:54
That's my daughter, Jean.
37
96000
2000
Ovo je moja ćerka, Džin.
01:56
She came. She's a nurse in San Francisco.
38
98000
2000
Došla je. Ona je medicinska sestra u San Francisku.
01:58
"Dig it up," I said. "Pieces.
39
100000
2000
Kopajte, rekao sam. Delići
02:00
I want pieces. Bits and pieces."
40
102000
2000
želeo sam komade i deliće.
02:02
I came up with this idea: a life of bits and pieces,
41
104000
3000
Došao sam na ideju: "život komada i komadića",
02:05
which I'm just starting to work on -- my next project.
42
107000
2000
na kojoj upravo počinjem da radim -- moj sledeći projekat.
02:07
That's my sister. She took care of pictures,
43
109000
3000
Ovo je moja sestra. Ona se postarala o fotografijama,
02:10
because I was a big collector of snapshot photography
44
112000
3000
bio sam veliki kolekcionar fotografija
02:13
that I believed said a lot.
45
115000
2000
za koje sam verovao da imaju mnogo da kažu.
02:15
And those are some of the pictures that --
46
117000
2000
A ovo su neke od fotografija --
02:17
something was good about the burnt pictures.
47
119000
2000
nešto je bilo dobro u vezi sa spaljenim fotografijama.
02:19
I didn't know. I looked at that --
48
121000
2000
Nisam znao. Gledao sam u to --
02:21
I said, "Wow, is that better than the --"
49
123000
2000
rekao sam: "Ovo je bolje nego..."
02:23
That's my proposal on Jimmy Doolittle. I made that movie for television.
50
125000
2000
Ovo je moj predlog za Džimija Dulitla. Napravio sam taj film za televiziju.
02:25
It's the only copy I had. Pieces of it.
51
127000
3000
Jedina kopija koju sam imao. Delići nje.
02:29
Idea about women.
52
131000
2000
Ideja o ženama.
02:31
So I started to say, "Hey, man, you are too much!
53
133000
3000
Počeo sa da govorim : "Hej čoveče ti imaš suviše stvari,
02:34
You could cry about this." I really didn't.
54
136000
3000
mogao bi da plačeš zbog ovoga" Nisam zaista.
02:37
I just instead said,
55
139000
2000
Umesto toga rekao sam:
02:39
"I'm going to make something out of it, and maybe next year ... "
56
141000
2000
Napraviću nesto dobro iz ovoga, a možda sledeće godine ..
02:41
And I appreciate this moment
57
143000
2000
Cenim ovaj trenutak kad
02:43
to come up on this stage with so many people
58
145000
2000
sam došao na ovu binu pored mnogo ljudi
02:45
who've already given me so much solace,
59
147000
3000
koji su mi dali veliku utehu,
02:48
and just say to TEDsters:
60
150000
2000
želeo bih da kažem TEDsterima:
02:50
I'm proud of me. That I take something bad,
61
152000
3000
Ponosan sam na sebe. Na to što sam nešto loše
02:53
I turn it, and I'm going to make something good out of this,
62
155000
2000
preokrenuo i nameravam da napravim nešto dobro od ovoga,
02:55
all these pieces.
63
157000
2000
svih ovih komadića.
02:57
That's Arthur Leipzig's original photograph I loved.
64
159000
3000
Ovo je originalna fotografija Artura Lajpciga, voleo sam je.
03:00
I was a big record collector --
65
162000
2000
Bio sam veliki kolekcionar ploča --
03:02
the records didn't make it. Boy, I tell you,
66
164000
2000
ove ploče nisu uspele da prežive. Ljudi, kažem vam,
03:04
film burns. Film burns.
67
166000
3000
film gori. Zaista.
03:07
I mean, this was 16-millimeter safety film.
68
169000
2000
Mislim, ovo je bio 16-milimetarski film na celuloidnoj traci.
03:09
The negatives are gone.
69
171000
2000
Negativa više nema.
03:12
That's my father's letter to me, telling me to
70
174000
1000
Ovo je očevo pismo upućeno meni, u kom mi saopštava
03:14
marry the woman I first married when I was 20.
71
176000
3000
da oženim ženu koju sam oženio kad sam imao 20 godina.
03:18
That's my daughter and me.
72
180000
3000
Ovo smo moja ćerka i ja.
03:22
She's still there. She's there this morning, actually.
73
184000
2000
Ona je još tu. Tačnije bila je i jutros.
03:24
That's my house.
74
186000
2000
Ovo je moja kuća.
03:26
My family's living in the Hilton Hotel in Scotts Valley.
75
188000
3000
Moja porodica živi u hotelu Hilton u Scotts Valley.
03:29
That's my wife, Heidi,
76
191000
2000
Ovo je moja žena, Hajdi.
03:31
who didn't take it as well as I did.
77
193000
3000
koja nije podnela dešavanja tako dobro kao ja.
03:34
My children, Davey and Henry.
78
196000
3000
Moja deca, Dejvi i Henri.
03:37
My son, Davey, in the hotel two nights ago.
79
199000
3000
Moj sin, Dejvi, u hotelskoj sobi, pre dve noći.
03:41
So, my message to you folks,
80
203000
2000
Dakle, moja poruka vama narode,
03:43
from my three minutes, is that I appreciate the chance
81
205000
3000
iz mojih tri minuta, je ta da ja cenim priliku
03:46
to share this with you. I will be back. I love being at TED.
82
208000
3000
da podelim ovo sa vama. Vratiću se. Volim što učestvujem na TEDu.
03:49
I came to live it, and I am living it.
83
211000
3000
Došao sam da ga živim i živim ga.
03:52
That's my view from my window outside of Santa Cruz, in Bonny Doon,
84
214000
3000
Ovo je pogled sa mog prozora nedaleko od Santa Kruza u Boni Dunu
03:55
just 35 miles from here.
85
217000
3000
samo 56 kilometara odavde.
03:58
Thank you everybody.
86
220000
2000
Hvala vam svima.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Hoffman - FilmmakerIn David Hoffman's long film career, he's made documentaries on everything from Amelia Earhardt to B.B. King, from double-dutch jump-roping to F-15 fighter pilots. Lately he's been fascinated with the early space program and our mania for all things Sputnik.
Why you should listen
Documentary filmmaker David Hoffman has been capturing reality for almost 4 decades, following his wide-ranging interests and turning them into films for PBS, The Discovery Channel, A&E, National Geographic. Highlights from his career include the groundbreaking experimental doc King, Murray, which blurred boundaries between truth and fiction as it tracks its subject through a debauched weekend in Las Vegas; A Day With Filmmaker Timmy Page, about a 12-year-old auteur; and his series of films on American indigenous music.
Lately, he has become fascinated with the Atomic-era Space Race, turning out a feature-length documentary about the Sputnik era. Sputnik Mania was scored by Thomas Dolby and has played at festivals and theaters around the country.
Hoffman suffered a devastating setback in early 2008 when, nine days before TED2008, his home, containing a vast archive from his long and fascinating career, burnt to the ground. His next project: to reframe his life and rebuild.
