I'm Jon M. Chu. And I'm not a dancer,
2
104000
3000
Ja sam Jon M. Chu, i ja nisam plesač.
02:02
I'm not a choreographer -- I'm actually a filmmaker, a storyteller.
3
107000
4000
Ja nisam koreograf, ja sam u stvari redatelj, pripovijedač.
02:06
I directed a movie two years ago
4
111000
2000
Režirao sam film prije dvije godine
02:08
called "Step Up 2: The Streets."
5
113000
2000
pod nazivom "Step Up 2: Ulice."
02:10
Anybody? Anybody? Yeah!
6
115000
2000
Netko? Bilo tko? Odlično!
02:12
During that movie I got to meet a ton of hip-hop dancers --
7
117000
2000
Za vrijeme tog filma susreo sam tone hip-hop plesača --
02:14
amazing, the best in the world --
8
119000
2000
nevjerojatno, najbolje na svijetu --
02:16
and they brought me into a society, the sort of underground
9
121000
3000
i oni su me uvukli u svijet, neku vrstu podzemne
02:19
street culture that blew my mind.
10
124000
2000
ulične kulture koja je bila nevjerojatna.
02:21
I mean, this is literally human beings
11
126000
2000
Mislim to su doslovno ljudska bića
02:23
with super-human strength and abilities.
12
128000
3000
sa super-ljudskom snagom i sposobnostima.
02:26
They could fly in the air. They could bend their elbow all the way back.
13
131000
2000
Oni su mogli letjeti zrakom. Mogli su svinuti lakat skroz unazad.
02:28
They could spin on their heads for 80 times in a row.
14
133000
3000
Mogli su se zavrtjeti na svojoj glavi po 80 puta zaredom.
02:31
I'd never seen anything like that.
15
136000
2000
Nikada nisam vidio ništa slično.
02:33
When I was growing up, my heroes were people like
16
138000
2000
Kada sam odrastao, moji heroji su bili ljudi poput
02:35
Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Michael Jackson.
17
140000
4000
Freda Astairea, Gene Kelly, Michaela Jacksona.
02:39
I grew up in a musical family.
18
144000
2000
Ja sam odrastao u muzičkoj obitelji.
02:41
(Laughter)
19
146000
1000
(Smijeh)
02:42
And those guys, those were like, ultimate heroes.
20
147000
3000
A ti ljudi, to su bili ultimativni heroji.
02:45
Being a shy, little, skinny Asian kid growing up in the Silicon Valley
21
150000
3000
Bio sam sramežljivi mali Azijac koji odrasta u Silicijskoj dolini
02:48
with low self-esteem, those guys made me believe in something bigger.
22
153000
3000
s malim samopouzdanjem, i ti ljudi su me natjerali vjerovati u nešto veće.
02:51
Those guys made me want to, like, "I'm going to do that
23
156000
2000
Ti ljudi su me natjerali željeti, poput, "Napraviti ću taj
02:53
moonwalk at that bar mitzvah tonight for that girl."
24
158000
3000
mjesečev hod na bar mitzvah večeras za tu djevojku."
02:56
(Applause)
25
161000
3000
(Pljesak)
02:59
And it seems like those dance heroes have disappeared,
26
164000
3000
I čini se kako su ti plesni heroji nestali,
03:02
sort of relegated to the background of pop stars and music videos.
27
167000
4000
na neki način su degradirani u prošlost s pop zvijezdama i muzičkim videima.
03:06
But after seeing what I've seen,
28
171000
2000
Ali nakon što sam vidio ono što sam vidio,
03:08
the truth is, they have not disappeared at all.
29
173000
2000
istina je, oni nisu uopće nestali.
03:10
They're here, getting better and better every day.
30
175000
3000
Oni su ovdje, i postaju sve bolji svakim danom.
03:13
And dance has progressed.
31
178000
2000
I ples je napredovao.
03:15
It is insane what dance is right now.
32
180000
2000
Ludo je gdje se ples nalazi danas.
03:17
Dance has never had a better friend than technology.
33
182000
2000
Ples nikada nije imao boljeg prijatelja od tehnologije.
03:19
Online videos and social networking ...
34
184000
2000
Online videi i društveno umrežavanje ...
03:21
dancers have created a whole global laboratory online
35
186000
3000
plesači su kreirali cijeli globalni laboratorij online
03:24
for dance, where kids in Japan are taking moves
36
189000
2000
za ples, gdje klinci u Japanu preuzimaju pokrete
03:26
from a YouTube video created in Detroit,
37
191000
2000
s YouTube videa koji su napravljeni u Detroitu,
03:28
building on it within days and releasing a new video,
38
193000
3000
nadograđujući na to unutar nekoliko dana i izbacujući novi video,
03:31
while teenagers in California are taking the Japanese video and remixing it
39
196000
2000
dok tinejdžeri u Kaliforniji preuzimaju japanski video i remiksiraju ga
03:33
with a Philly flair to create a whole new dance style in itself.
40
198000
4000
s doticajem Philadelphije kako bi kreirali cijeli novi plesni stil za sebe.
03:37
And this is happening every day.
41
202000
2000
I to se događa svaki dan.
03:39
And from these bedrooms and living rooms and garages,
42
204000
3000
I iz tih soba i dnevnih boravaka i garaža,
03:42
with cheap webcams,
43
207000
2000
s jeftinim web kamerama,
03:44
lies the world's great dancers of tomorrow.
44
209000
2000
dolaze najveći plesači sutrašnjice.
03:46
Our Fred Astaires, our Gene Kellys
45
211000
2000
Naši Fred Astairei, naše Gene Kelly
03:48
our Michael Jacksons are right at our fingertips,
46
213000
2000
naši Michael Jacksoni su navrh prsta,
03:50
and may not have that opportunity, except for us.
47
215000
3000
i možda neće imati tu priliku, osim za nas.
03:53
So, we created the LXD,
48
218000
2000
Tako smo kreirali LXD,
03:55
sort of a -- the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers,
49
220000
3000
na neki način -- Legiju izvanrednih plesača,
03:58
a justice league of dancers that believe
50
223000
2000
pravednu ligu plesača koji vjeruju
04:00
that dance can have a transformative effect on the world.
51
225000
2000
da ples može imati transformativnu ulogu na svijet.
04:02
A living, breathing comic book series,
52
227000
3000
Strip serija uživo,
04:05
but unlike Spiderman and Iron Man,
53
230000
2000
ali za razliku od Spidermana i Iron Mana,
04:07
these guys can actually do it.
54
232000
2000
ovi ljudi to stvarno rade.
04:09
And we're going to show you some today. So, let me introduce to you,
55
234000
2000
I pokazati ćemo vam neke od njih danas. Dozvolite da vam predstavim,
04:11
some of our heroes right now.
56
236000
2000
neke od naših heroja sada.
04:13
We got Madd Chadd,
57
238000
2000
Imamo Madd Chadda,
04:15
Lil' C, Kid David and J Smooth.
58
240000
3000
Lil' C, Kid Davida i J Smootha.
04:18
Please be excited, have fun, yell, scream.
59
243000
2000
Molim vas budite uzbuđeni, zabavljajte se, derite se, vrištite.
04:20
Ladies and gentlemen: The LXD.
60
245000
2000
Dame i gospodo, LXD.
04:22
(Applause)
61
247000
1000
(Pljesak)
04:23
(Video): Madd Chadd: When people first see me,
62
248000
2000
(Video): Madd Chadd: Kada su me ljudi prvi puta vidjeli
04:25
I get a lot of different reactions actually.
63
250000
4000
dobio sam puno različitih reakcija ustvari.
04:29
Sometimes you would think that maybe kids would enjoy it,
64
254000
4000
Ponekad mislite da će klinci u tome uživati,
04:33
but sometimes they get a little freaked out.
65
258000
4000
ali ponekad se pomalo preplaše.
04:37
And, I don't know, I kind of get a kick out of that a little bit.
66
262000
4000
I ne znam, i ja pomalo bivam izbačen.
04:41
(Music)
67
266000
3000
(Glazba)
05:57
(Applause)
68
342000
5000
(Pljesak)
06:02
J Smooth: When I'm in the zone -- I'm dancing and free styling it --
69
347000
3000
J Smooth: Kada sam u zoni, plešem slobodnim stilom,
06:05
I actually visually kind of picture
70
350000
3000
na neki način vizualno snimam
06:08
lines, and moving them.
71
353000
2000
linije i krećem se po njima.
06:10
I think of like, Transformers,
72
355000
2000
Mislim na, Transformere,
06:12
like how panels open and then they fold,
73
357000
4000
kako se paneli otvaraju i onda sklapaju,
06:16
they fold in, and then you close that panel.
74
361000
3000
oni se sklope, a vi ih zatvorite.
06:19
And then another thing opens,
75
364000
3000
I onda se druga stvar otvori.
06:22
you close that.
76
367000
2000
Zatvorite to.
06:24
(Music)
77
369000
3000
(Glazba)
07:40
(Applause)
78
445000
6000
(Pljesak)
07:46
Kid David: It's kind of like, honestly a lot of times
79
451000
2000
Kid David: Na neki način, iskreno puno puta
07:48
I don't really know what's going on
80
453000
2000
ne znam što se događa
07:50
when I'm dancing.
81
455000
2000
kada plešem.
07:52
Because at that point it's just really like, it's my body and the music.
82
457000
2000
Jer u tom trenutku postoje samo moje tijelo i muzika.
07:54
It's not really a conscious decision,
83
459000
2000
To nije stvarno svjesna odluka,
07:56
"I'm going to do this next, I'm going to do this."
84
461000
3000
"Napraviti ću ovo, pa nakon toga ovo."
07:59
It's kind of like this other level
85
464000
3000
To je na neki način na drugoj razini
08:02
where you can't make choices anymore,
86
467000
2000
na kojoj ne možeš raditi izbor
08:04
and it's just your body reacting to certain sounds in the music.
87
469000
4000
i tvoje tijelo reagira na određene zvukove u muzici.
08:08
I got my name just because I was so young.
88
473000
2000
Dobio sam ime samo jer sam bio mlad.
08:10
I was young when I started. I was younger than a lot of the people I was dancing with.
89
475000
4000
Bio sam mlad kada sam započeo, bio sam mlađi od većine ljudi s kojima sam počeo plesati.
08:14
So, it was always like, they called me Kid David, because I was the kid.
90
479000
4000
I tako su me uvijek zvali Kid (dijete) David, jer sam bio dijete.
08:21
(Music)
91
486000
3000
(Glazba)
09:09
(Applause)
92
534000
7000
(Pljesak)
09:16
L'il C: I tell them to create a ball,
93
541000
2000
Lil'C: Kažem im da kreiraju loptu,
09:18
and then you just use that ball of energy.
94
543000
2000
i onda samo koristite tu loptu energije.
09:20
And instead of throwing it out, people would think
95
545000
2000
I umjesto da je bacite vani, ljudi bi pomislili
09:22
that's a krump move, that's a krump move.
96
547000
2000
to je "krump" pokret, to je "krump" pokret.
09:24
That's not a krump move. You're going to throw it out,
97
549000
2000
To nije "krump" pokret. Izbaciti ćete to van,
09:26
you throw it out, and you hold it.
98
551000
2000
izbacite van i zadržite to.
09:28
And you let it go, and then right when you see the tail,
99
553000
2000
I pustite da ide, i onda kada vidite rep
09:30
you grab it by the tail, then you bring it back in.
100
555000
2000
zgrabite za rep, i dovučete nazad.
09:32
And you just got this piece of energy
101
557000
3000
I samo imate taj komad energije
09:35
and you just, you're manipulating it.
102
560000
2000
i s njime jednostavno, manipulirate.
09:37
You know, you create power, then you tame it.
103
562000
4000
Znate, kreirate snagu, i onda je ukrotite.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
The LXD - Dance adventurersThe LXD (the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers) are building an interactive web series that represents the next evolution of dance.
Why you should listen
Imagine two rival factions -- one good, one evil -- squaring off in an epic battle ... an epic dance battle. Welcome to The LXD, a new online adventure in which heroes and villains combat each other with dance superpowers. With stunning choreography, dancers float over the ground like marionettes or crush the laws of physics beneath their feet when they perform breathtaking aerial maneuvers and transcendental step sequences.
The series hopes to do more than follow the dance-battle zeitgeist that rules today’s TV ratings. In addition to live performances, The LXD reveals dance superheroes on both sides of the screen—viewers can learn dance moves from instructional videos, and even become part of the story by participating in the web community. The LXD is written and directed by Jon Chu, a veteran of dance productions, including the box office sensation Step Up 2: The Streets and the Internet phenomenon, The Biggest Online Dance Battle.
