About four years ago, the New Yorker published an article

3000
Pred približno štirimi leti je revija New Yorker objavila članek
00:19
about a cache of dodo bones that was found
1
3000
2000
o najdišču kosti ptiča doda
00:21
in a pit on the island of Mauritius.
2
5000
3000
v kotanji na otoku Mauritius.
00:24
Now, the island of Mauritius is a small island
3
8000
2000
Otok Mauritius je majhen otok
00:26
off the east coast of Madagascar
4
10000
3000
pri vzhodni obali Madagaskarja
00:29
in the Indian Ocean, and it is the place
5
13000
2000
v Indijskem oceanu. Na njem so
00:31
where the dodo bird was discovered
6
15000
3000
doda odkrili in iztrebili
00:34
and extinguished, all within about 150 years.
7
18000
3000
v le 150 letih.
00:37
Everyone was very excited about this archaeological find,
8
21000
3000
Vsi so bili popolnoma navdušeni nad to arheološko najdbo,
00:40
because it meant that they might finally be able
9
24000
2000
saj je pomenila, da bo mogoče končno mogoče
00:42
to assemble a single dodo skeleton.
10
26000
2000
sestaviti okostje iz enega samega doda.
00:44
See, while museums all over the world
11
28000
2000
Veste, muzeji po celem svetu
00:46
have dodo skeletons in their collection, nobody --
12
30000
2000
sicer imajo okostja dodov v svoji zbirki, vendar --
00:49
not even the actual Natural History Museum
13
33000
2000
niti sam Naravoslovni muzej
00:51
on the island of Mauritius -- has a skeleton that's made
14
35000
2000
na otoku Mauritiusu -- nima okostja, ki bi bilo narejeno
00:53
from the bones of a single dodo.
15
37000
3000
iz kosti enega samega doda.
00:56
Well, this isn't exactly true.
16
40000
2000
No, to ni popolnoma res.
00:58
The fact is, is that the British Museum
17
42000
2000
Dejstvo je, da je Britanski muzej sicer imel
01:00
had a complete specimen of a dodo in their collection
18
44000
2000
popolni primerek doda v svoji zbirki
01:02
up until the 18th century --
19
46000
2000
vse do 18. stoletja.
01:04
it was actually mummified, skin and all --
20
48000
2000
Primerek je bil pravzaprav mumificiran, s kožo in vsem --
01:06
but in a fit of space-saving zeal,
21
50000
2000
vendar v vnemi varčevanja s prostorom
01:08
they actually cut off the head and they cut off the feet
22
52000
2000
so mu dejansko odrezali glavo in noge
01:10
and they burned the rest in a bonfire.
23
54000
3000
ostalo pa zažgali v kresu.
01:13
If you go look at their website today,
24
57000
2000
Če danes obiščete njihovo spletno stran,
01:15
they'll actually list these specimens, saying,
25
59000
2000
imajo ta dva dela na seznamu s pripisom,
01:17
the rest was lost in a fire.
26
61000
3000
da so ostalo izgubili v požaru.
01:20
Not quite the whole truth. Anyway.
27
64000
3000
Rahlo oddaljeno od resnice. Kakorkoli.
01:23
The frontispiece of this article was this photo,
28
67000
2000
Na naslovnici tega članka je bila fotografija,
01:25
and I'm one of the people that thinks that Tina Brown
29
69000
2000
in jaz sem eden od tistih, ki menijo, da je bila Tina Brown
01:27
was great for bringing photos to the New Yorker,
30
71000
2000
odlična pri izbiri fotografij za New Yorker,
01:29
because this photo completely rocked my world.
31
73000
2000
saj je ta fotografija popolnoma pretresla moj svet.
01:31
I became obsessed with the object --
32
75000
2000
Postal sem obseden s tem predmetom --
01:33
not just the beautiful photograph itself,
33
77000
2000
a ne le s čudovito fotografijo samo
01:35
and the color, the shallow depth of field, the detail that's visible,
34
79000
3000
in njenimi barvami, majhno globinsko ostrino, vsemi detajli,
01:38
the wire you can see on the beak there
35
82000
2000
žico, ki se vidi tam pri kljunu,
01:40
that the conservator used to put this skeleton together --
36
84000
3000
in ki jo je konservator uporabil za sestavo celotnega okostja,
01:43
there's an entire story here.
37
87000
2000
za tem je cela zgodba.
01:45
And I thought to myself,
38
89000
2000
In sem si mislil,
01:47
wouldn't it be great
39
91000
2000
ali ne bi bilo super,
01:49
if I had my own dodo skeleton?
40
93000
3000
če bi imel svoje lastno dodovo okostje?
01:52
(Laughter)
41
96000
3000
(smeh)
01:55
I want to point out here at this point that
42
99000
3000
In tako -- na tej točki želim poudariti, da
01:58
I've spent my life obsessed
43
102000
2000
sem celotno svoje življenje obseden
02:00
by objects and the stories that they tell,
44
104000
3000
s predmeti in zgodbami, ki jih govorijo,
02:03
and this was the very latest one.
45
107000
2000
in to je bila ravno najnovejša.
02:05
So I began looking around for --
46
109000
2000
In tako sem začel iskati --
02:07
to see if anyone sold a kit,
47
111000
2000
če kdo slučajno prodaja komplet,
02:09
some kind of model that I could get,
48
113000
2000
neke vrste model, ki bi ga lahko dobil,
02:11
and I found lots of reference material, lots of lovely pictures.
49
115000
3000
in sem našel ogromno materiala, ogromno prelepih slik --
02:14
No dice: no dodo skeleton for me. But the damage had been done.
50
118000
4000
a brez sreče - ostal sem brez okostja. A škoda je bila vseeno narejena.
02:18
I had saved a few hundred photos of dodo skeletons
51
122000
2000
Nekaj sto fotografij okostij dodov sem shranil
02:20
into my "Creative Projects" folder --
52
124000
2000
v svojo mapo imenovano "Ustvarjalni projekti".
02:22
it's a repository for my brain, everything that I could possibly be interested in.
53
126000
3000
To je odlagališče za moje možgane o vsem, kar bi me utegnilo zanimati.
02:25
Any time I have an internet connection,
54
129000
2000
Če le imam možnost povezave na internet,
02:27
there's a sluice of stuff moving into there,
55
131000
3000
prihaja v to mapo nenehno nov in nov material,
02:30
everything from beautiful rings to cockpit photos.
56
134000
4000
vse od čudovitih prstanov do slik pilotske kabine.
02:34
The key that the Marquis du Lafayette sent to George Washington
57
138000
3000
Denimo ključ, ki ga je markiz de Lafayette poslal Georgu Washingtonu
02:37
to celebrate the storming of the Bastille.
58
141000
2000
za proslavitev zavzetja Bastilje.
02:39
Russian nuclear launch key:
59
143000
1000
Ruski ključ za nuklearno izstrelitev raket.
02:40
The one on the top is the picture of the one I found on eBay;
60
144000
2000
Tistega na vrhu sem našel na eBay-u,
02:42
the one on the bottom is the one I made for myself,
61
146000
3000
tistega na dnu pa naredil sam zase,
02:45
because I couldn't afford the one on eBay.
62
149000
2000
saj si nisem mogel privoščiti tistega z eBay-a.
02:47
Storm trooper costumes. Maps of Middle Earth --
63
151000
3000
Kostumi iz Vojne zvezd. Zemljevidi Srednjega sveta iz Gospodarja prstanov --
02:50
that's one I hand-drew myself. There's the dodo skeleton folder.
64
154000
2000
tega sem narisal sam. Tam je mapa z dodovimi okostji.
02:52
This folder has 17,000 photos --
65
156000
2000
Celotna mapa ima 17.000 slik --
02:54
over 20 gigabytes of information --
66
158000
2000
preko 20 gigabajtov podatkov --
02:56
and it's growing constantly.
67
160000
2000
in še vedno neprestano raste.
02:58
And one day, a couple of weeks later, it might have been
68
162000
3000
In nekega dne, morda nekaj tednov pozneje,
03:01
maybe a year later, I was in the art store with my kids,
69
165000
2000
mogoče eno leto kasneje, sem bil v umetniški trgovini s svojimi otroci
03:03
and I was buying some clay tools -- we were going to have a craft day.
70
167000
3000
in sem kupoval nekaj orodij za glino -- nameravali smo imeti rokodelski dan.
03:06
I bought some Super Sculpeys, some armature wire, some various materials.
71
170000
3000
Kupil sem nekaj gline, žic in raznih materialov.
03:09
And I looked down at this Sculpey, and I thought,
72
173000
2000
In ko sem gledal to glino, sem si mislil,
03:11
maybe,
73
175000
2000
mogoče,
03:13
yeah, maybe I could make my own dodo skull.
74
177000
3000
ja, mogoče pa bi lahko naredil svojo lastno dodovo lobanjo.
03:17
I should point out at this time -- I'm not a sculptor;
75
181000
2000
Tukaj moram poudariti -- jaz nisem kipar.
03:19
I'm a hard-edged model maker.
76
183000
2000
Sem čisti izdelovalec modelov.
03:21
You give me a drawing, you give me a prop to replicate,
77
185000
3000
Dajte mi risbo, predmet iz filma, da naredim kopijo,
03:24
you give me a crane, scaffolding, parts from "Star Wars" --
78
188000
3000
dajte mi žerjav, ogrodje, dele iz Vojne zvezd --
03:27
especially parts from "Star Wars" --
79
191000
2000
še posebej dele iz Vojne zvezd --
03:29
I can do this stuff all day long.
80
193000
2000
te stvari lahko ustvarjam cele dneve.
03:31
It's exactly how I made my living for 15 years.
81
195000
2000
Prav s tem sem si zadnjih 15 let služil kruh.
03:33
But you give me something like this --
82
197000
3000
Ampak, če dobim v roke nekaj takšnega --
03:36
my friend Mike Murnane sculpted this;
83
200000
2000
moj prijatelj Mike Murnane je skiparil tole;
03:38
it's a maquette for "Star Wars, Episode Two" --
84
202000
2000
to je maketa za Vojno zvezd, Epizodo 2 --
03:40
this is not my thing --
85
204000
2000
to ni stvar zame, jaz --
03:42
this is something other people do -- dragons, soft things.
86
206000
3000
to je nekaj, kar počnejo drugi ljudje -- zmaji, mehke skulpture.
03:45
However, I felt like I had looked at enough photos of dodo skulls
87
209000
4000
Vendar, tokrat sem imel občutek, da sem videl že dovolj slik dodovih lobanj,
03:49
to actually be able to
88
213000
2000
da bi bil dejansko sposoben
03:51
understand the topology and perhaps replicate it --
89
215000
3000
razumeti topologijo doda in jo morda poustvariti --
03:54
I mean, it couldn't be that difficult.
90
218000
2000
Mislim, saj ne more biti tako težko.
03:56
So, I started looking at the best photos I could find.
91
220000
3000
Tako sem začel gledati najboljše fotografije, ki sem jih našel.
03:59
I grabbed all the reference,
92
223000
2000
Zagrabil sem vse vire
04:01
and I found this lovely piece of reference.
93
225000
2000
in vmes našel tale prelep kos za primerjavo.
04:03
This is someone selling this on eBay;
94
227000
2000
To je slika nekoga, ki to prodaja na eBay-u;
04:05
it was clearly a woman’s hand, hopefully a woman's hand.
95
229000
3000
bila je ženska -- očitno ženska roka, upam, da je to ženska roka.
04:08
Assuming it was roughly the size of my wife's hand,
96
232000
2000
Predvidevajoč, da je približno enako velika kot roka 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
sem naredil nekaj meritev njenega palca in jih primerjal z velikostjo lobanje.
04:13
I blew it up to the actual size, and I began using that,
98
237000
3000
Sliko sem povečal na dejansko velikost in jo začel uporabljati
04:16
along with all the other reference that I had, comparing it to it
99
240000
2000
skupaj z ostalim nabranim materialom
04:18
as size reference for figuring out exactly how big the beak should be,
100
242000
3000
kot referenco za velikost, da bi ugotovil, kako velik mora biti kljun,
04:21
exactly how long, etc.
101
245000
2000
ugotovil njegovo točno dolžino itd.
04:23
And over a few hours, I eventually achieved
102
247000
3000
In po nekaj urah dela sem sčasoma prišel do
04:26
what was actually a pretty reasonable dodo skull. And I didn't mean to continue, I --
103
250000
3000
precej sprejemljive dodove lobanje. In nisem nameraval nadaljevati --
04:29
it's kind of like, you know, you can only clean a super messy room
104
253000
3000
to je nekako tako, veste, zelo razmetano sobo lahko pospravite
04:32
by picking up one thing at a time; you can't think about the totality.
105
256000
3000
le s pobiranjem vsakega koščka posebej; ne morete razmišljati o celoti.
04:35
I wasn't thinking about a dodo skeleton;
106
259000
2000
Nisem razmišljal o dodovem okostju;
04:37
I just noticed that as I finished this skull,
107
261000
2000
opazil sem le, da, ko sem končal lobanjo,
04:39
the armature wire that I had been used to holding it up
108
263000
2000
je žica, ki sem jo uporabil za držanje lobanje na mestu,
04:41
was sticking out of the back just where a spine would be.
109
265000
2000
štrlela iz zadnje strani, ravno tam, kjer bi se nahajala hrbtenica.
04:43
And one of the other things I'd been interested in and obsessed with over the years
110
267000
3000
In ravno ena izmed stvari, s katerimi sem bil obseden v zadnjih letih,
04:46
is spines and skeletons, having collected a couple of hundred.
111
270000
3000
so hrbtenice in okostja, katerih sem zbral nekaj sto.
04:49
I actually understood the mechanics
112
273000
2000
Dejansko sem mehaniko vretenc
04:51
of vertebrae enough to kind of start to imitate them.
113
275000
3000
razumel dovolj, da bi jo lahko posnemal.
04:54
And so button by button,
114
278000
2000
In tako sem gumb za gumbom,
04:56
vertebrae by vertebrae, I built my way down.
115
280000
3000
vretence za vretencem, gradil svojo pot navzdol.
04:59
And actually, by the end of the day, I had a reasonable skull,
116
283000
3000
Proti koncu dneva sem tako imel sprejemljivo lobanjo,
05:02
a moderately good vertebrae and half of a pelvis.
117
286000
4000
še kar dobra vretenca in polovico medenice.
05:06
And again, I kept on going, looking for more reference,
118
290000
3000
In spet sem še naprej iskal referenčni material,
05:09
every bit of reference I could find -- drawings, beautiful photos.
119
293000
3000
karkoli uporabnega -- risbe, lepe fotografije.
05:12
This guy -- I love this guy! He put a dodo leg bones on a scanner
120
296000
3000
Tale človek -- obožujem ga! Skeniral je dodove nožne kosti --
05:15
with a ruler.
121
299000
2000
z ravnilom.
05:17
This is the kind of accuracy that I wanted,
122
301000
2000
Prav takšno natančnost sem hotel
05:19
and I
123
303000
2000
in tako sem čisto vsako kost
05:21
replicated every last bone and put it in.
124
305000
2000
repliciral in jo vstavil v okostje.
05:23
And after about six weeks,
125
307000
3000
Po približno -- rekel bi, da šestih tednih,
05:26
I finished, painted, mounted
126
310000
3000
sem dokončal, pobarval in postavil
05:29
my own dodo skeleton.
127
313000
3000
svoje lastno dodovo okostje.
05:34
You can see that I even made a museum label for it
128
318000
2000
Lahko vidite, da sem zanj ustvaril celo muzejsko oznako,
05:36
that includes a brief history of the dodo.
129
320000
2000
ki vsebuje kratko zgodovino doda.
05:38
And TAP Plastics made me -- although I didn't photograph it --
130
322000
2000
In TAP Plastics so mi naredili -- čeprav je nisem fotografiral --
05:40
a museum vitrine.
131
324000
2000
muzejsko vitrino.
05:42
I don't have the room for this in my house,
132
326000
2000
Za ta izdelek v svoji hiši nimam prostora,
05:44
but I had to finish what I had started.
133
328000
3000
a vseeno sem moral dokončati, kar sem začel.
05:47
And this actually represented kind of a sea change to me.
134
331000
3000
In to je zame pravzaprav predstavljalo kar veliko spremembo.
05:50
Again, like I said, my life has been about
135
334000
2000
Kot sem že rekel, moje življenje je polno
05:52
being fascinated by objects and the stories that they tell,
136
336000
2000
očaranosti nad predmeti in njihovimi zgodbami
05:54
and also making them for myself, obtaining them,
137
338000
3000
in tudi izdelovanja njih zase, pridobivanja njih,
05:57
appreciating them and diving into them.
138
341000
3000
cenjenja njih in poglabljanja vanje.
06:00
And in this folder, "Creative Projects,"
139
344000
2000
In v tej mapi "Ustvarjalni projekti"
06:02
there are tons of projects that I'm currently working on,
140
346000
3000
je na tone projektov, s katerimi se trenutno ukvarjam,
06:05
projects that I've already worked on, things that I might want to work on some day,
141
349000
3000
s katerimi sem se že ukvarjal in s katerimi se morda še bom ukvarjal,
06:08
and things that I may just want to find and buy and have
142
352000
3000
ali pa stvari, ki bi jih rad samo našel in jih kupil,
06:11
and look at and touch.
143
355000
2000
jih opazoval in se jih dotikal.
06:13
But now there was potentially this new category of things
144
357000
3000
A sedaj je bila tu potencialno ta nova kategorija stvari,
06:16
that I could sculpt
145
360000
2000
ki bi jih lahko kiparil,
06:18
that was different, that I -- you know,
146
362000
2000
ki so bile drugačne, ki bi jih -- veste,
06:20
I have my own R2D2, but that's --
147
364000
2000
imam svojega R2D2 robota, ampak to je --
06:22
honestly, relative to sculpting, to me, that's easy.
148
366000
3000
iskreno povedano, v primerjavi s kiparjenjem je zame to lahko.
06:25
And so I went back and looked through my "Creative Projects" folder,
149
369000
3000
Tako sem šel nazaj skozi mapo "Ustvarjalni projekti",
06:28
and I happened across the Maltese Falcon.
150
372000
3000
in tam sem opazil malteškega sokola.
06:32
Now, this is funny for me:
151
376000
3000
No, to je kar smešno zame:
06:35
to fall in love with an object from a Hammett novel,
152
379000
3000
da se zaljubim v predmet iz Hammettovega romana,
06:38
because if it's true that the world is divided into two types of people,
153
382000
2000
ker, če je res, da se svet deli na dve vrsti ljudi,
06:40
Chandler people and Hammett people, I am absolutely a Chandler person.
154
384000
3000
tiste za Chandlerja in tiste za Hammetta, sem brez dvoma za Chandlerja.
06:43
But in this case,
155
387000
2000
Vendar v tem primeru ne gre --
06:45
it's not about the author, it's not about the book or the movie or the story,
156
389000
4000
ne gre za avtorja, ne za knjigo ali za film ali zgodbo,
06:49
it's about the object in and of itself.
157
393000
2000
ampak za predmet sam.
06:51
And in this case, this object is --
158
395000
3000
In v tem primeru je predmet
06:54
plays on a host of levels.
159
398000
3000
prisoten na več nivojih.
06:57
First of all, there's the object in the world.
160
401000
2000
Kot prvo - obstaja predmet v svetu.
06:59
This is the "Kniphausen Hawk."
161
403000
2000
To je "Kniphausenov sokol."
07:01
It is a ceremonial pouring vessel
162
405000
2000
Je obredna posoda za nalivanje,
07:03
made around 1700 for a Swedish Count,
163
407000
4000
narejena okoli leta 1700 za švedskega grofa,
07:07
and it is very likely the object from which
164
411000
2000
in je zelo verjetno predmet, iz katerega
07:09
Hammett drew his inspiration for the Maltese Falcon.
165
413000
3000
je Hammett dobil navdih za Malteškega sokola.
07:12
Then there is the fictional bird, the one that Hammett created for the book.
166
416000
3000
Nato imamo izmišljeno ptico, ki jo je Hammett ustvaril za knjigo.
07:15
Built out of words, it is the engine
167
419000
2000
Ustvarjena iz besed poganja
07:17
that drives the plot of his book and also the movie,
168
421000
3000
celotno zgodbo njegove knjige in tudi filma,
07:20
in which another object is created:
169
424000
2000
za katerega je ustvarjen še en predmet:
07:22
a prop that has to represent the thing that Hammett created out of words,
170
426000
3000
rekvizit, ki je predstavljal Hammettovo izmišljeno ptico,
07:25
inspired by the Kniphausen Hawk, and this represents the falcon in the movie.
171
429000
4000
navdihnjen s Kniphausenovim sokolom in ta predstavlja sokola v filmu.
07:29
And then there is this fourth level, which is
172
433000
2000
Potem pa imamo še četrti nivo, ki je
07:31
a whole new object in the world:
173
435000
2000
popolnoma nov predmet v svetu:
07:33
the prop made for the movie, the representative of the thing,
174
437000
3000
rekvizit narejen za film, ki predstavlja sokola,
07:36
becomes, in its own right,
175
440000
2000
postane sam po sebi,
07:38
a whole other thing,
176
442000
2000
čisto nova stvar,
07:40
a whole new object of desire.
177
444000
2000
čisto nov predmet poželenja.
07:42
And so now it was time to do some research.
178
446000
2000
Tako je sedaj bil čas za nekaj raziskovanja.
07:44
I actually had done some research
179
448000
2000
Pravzaprav sem nekaj raziskoval že pred
07:46
a few years before -- it's why the folder was there.
180
450000
2000
nekaj leti -- zato je bila mapa tam.
07:48
I'd bought a replica, a really crappy replica,
181
452000
2000
Kupil sem repliko, izjemno slabo repliko,
07:50
of the Maltese Falcon on eBay,
182
454000
2000
malteškega sokola na eBay-u
07:52
and had downloaded enough pictures to actually
183
456000
2000
in si ogledal že dovolj slik, da sem dejansko
07:54
have some reasonable reference.
184
458000
2000
imel nekaj primernih referenc.
07:56
But I discovered,
185
460000
2000
A sem pri nadaljnjem
07:58
in researching further,
186
462000
2000
raziskovanju ugotovil,
08:00
really wanting precise reference, that
187
464000
3000
ker sem želel res natančno referenco, da je ptica bila --
08:03
one of the original lead birds
188
467000
2000
ena izmed originalnih svinčenih ptic
08:05
had been sold at Christie's in 1994,
189
469000
2000
je bila prodana leta 1994 na dražbi,
08:07
and so I contacted an antiquarian bookseller
190
471000
3000
zato sem kontaktiral antikvariat,
08:10
who had the original Christie's catalogue,
191
474000
2000
ki je imel originalni katalog z dražbe,
08:12
and in it I found this magnificent picture,
192
476000
2000
in v njem našel to veličastno sliko,
08:14
which included a size reference.
193
478000
2000
ki je imela tudi podatek o velikosti.
08:16
I was able to scan the picture, blow it up to exactly full size.
194
480000
4000
Omogočili so mi, da sem sliko skeniral in jo povečal na dejansko velikost.
08:20
I found other reference. Avi [Ara] Chekmayan,
195
484000
2000
Našel sem tudi druge reference. Avi Chekmayan,
08:22
a New Jersey editor, actually found this
196
486000
2000
urednik iz New Jerseyja, je našel tale primerek
08:24
resin Maltese Falcon
197
488000
2000
malteškega sokola iz smole
08:26
at a flea market in 1991,
198
490000
3000
na bolšjem trgu leta 1991,
08:29
although it took him five years
199
493000
2000
čeprav mu je vzelo 5 let,
08:31
to authenticate this bird to
200
495000
2000
da je preveril njegovo pristnost
08:33
the auctioneers' specifications,
201
497000
2000
po specifikacijah dražbene hiše,
08:35
because there was a lot of controversy about it.
202
499000
2000
saj je bilo okoli njega veliko kontroverznosti.
08:37
It was made out of resin, which wasn't a common material for movie props
203
501000
2000
Narejen je bil iz smole, kar ni bil običajen material za rekvizite
08:39
about the time the movie was made.
204
503000
2000
v filmih v tistem času.
08:41
It's funny to me that it took a while to authenticate it,
205
505000
2000
Hecno se mi zdi, da je bilo potrebnih 5 let za overitev,
08:43
because I can see it compared to this thing,
206
507000
2000
ker ga jaz lahko vidim v primerjavi s tem,
08:45
and I can tell you -- it's real, it's the real thing,
207
509000
2000
in lahko vam rečem -- pravi je, originalen,
08:47
it's made from the exact same mold that this one is.
208
511000
3000
narejen je iz popolnoma enakega modela kot ta.
08:50
In this one, because the auction was actually so controversial,
209
514000
3000
Pri tem, ker je bila dražba tako kontroverzna,
08:53
Profiles in History, the auction house that sold this --
210
517000
2000
je dražbena hiša Profiles in History, ki ga je prodala --
08:55
I think in 1995 for about 100,000 dollars --
211
519000
2000
mislim, da leta 1995 za okoli 100.000 dolarjev --
08:57
they actually included -- you can see here on the bottom --
212
521000
3000
dejansko vključila -- kot lahko vidite tu na dnu --
09:00
not just a front elevation, but also
213
524000
2000
ne le pogled od spredaj, ampak tudi
09:02
a side, rear
214
526000
2000
s strani, od zadaj
09:04
and other side elevation.
215
528000
2000
in z druge strani.
09:06
So now, I had all the topology I needed
216
530000
3000
Sedaj sem imel vso potrebno topologijo,
09:09
to replicate the Maltese Falcon.
217
533000
2000
da bi repliciral malteškega sokola.
09:11
What do they do, how do you start something like that? I really don't know.
218
535000
3000
Ampak, kako bi začel, kako se to sploh naredi? Res ne vem.
09:14
So what I did was, again, like I did with the dodo skull,
219
538000
2000
Torej, ponovno sem, tako kot pri dodovi lobanji, začel
09:16
I blew all my reference up to full size,
220
540000
3000
s povečavo materiala na naravno velikost,
09:19
and then I began cutting out the negatives and using
221
543000
2000
nato pa sem začel izrezovati negative in te
09:21
those templates as shape references.
222
545000
2000
predloge uporabljati kot reference za obliko.
09:23
So I took Sculpey, and I built a big block of it,
223
547000
2000
Tako sem vzel v roke glino, iz nje naredil veliko klado
09:25
and I passed it through until, you know, I got the right profiles.
224
549000
3000
in jo preoblikoval, dokler nisem dobil pravih oblik.
09:28
And then slowly, feather by feather, detail by detail,
225
552000
3000
Nato pa počasi, pero za peresom, detajl za detajlom,
09:31
I worked out and achieved --
226
555000
2000
sem ustvaril --
09:33
working in front of the television and Super Sculpey --
227
557000
2000
med delom pred televizijo -- in tista glina --
09:35
here's me sitting next to my wife --
228
559000
2000
tukaj sedim zraven svoje žene --
09:37
it's the only picture I took of the entire process.
229
561000
3000
to je edina slika, ki sem jo posnel med celotnim procesom.
09:40
As I moved through, I achieved
230
564000
2000
Ko sem se prebijal skozi, sem ustvaril
09:42
a very reasonable facsimile of the Maltese Falcon.
231
566000
2000
precej sprejemljivo kopijo malteškega sokola.
09:44
But again, I am not a sculptor,
232
568000
2000
Ampak spet, jaz nisem kipar
09:46
and so I don't know a lot of the tricks, like,
233
570000
2000
in zato tudi ne vem mnogo kiparskih trikov kot, veste,
09:49
I don't know how my friend Mike gets beautiful, shiny surfaces with his Sculpey;
234
573000
3000
ne vem, kako moj prijatelj Mike ustvari tako lepe, bleščeče glinene površine;
09:52
I certainly wasn't able to get it.
235
576000
2000
meni to zagotovo ni uspelo.
09:54
So, I went down to my shop,
236
578000
2000
In sem šel v svojo delavnico,
09:56
and I molded it and I cast it in resin,
237
580000
3000
ustvaril model kipca in ga oblikoval v smoli,
09:59
because in the resin, then, I could absolutely get the glass smooth finished.
238
583000
3000
saj sem zaradi nje lahko končno dobil gladko končno površino.
10:02
Now there's a lot of ways to fill and get yourself a nice smooth finish.
239
586000
3000
Seveda obstaja mnogo načinov modeliranja, da dobite lep gladek izdelek.
10:05
My preference is about 70 coats of this --
240
589000
3000
Moja izbira je približno 70 nanosov tega --
10:08
matte black auto primer.
241
592000
2000
matirane črne avtomobilske barve.
10:10
I spray it on for about three or four days, it drips to hell,
242
594000
3000
Nanašam jo približno 3 ali 4 dni, sicer ogromno kaplja,
10:13
but it allows me a really, really nice gentle sanding surface
243
597000
3000
a mi omogoča zelo, zelo nežno površino za brušenje,
10:16
and I can get it glass-smooth.
244
600000
2000
ki jo lahko naredim gladko kot steklo.
10:18
Oh, finishing up with triple-zero steel wool.
245
602000
2000
In še dokončam z nekaj posebej fine jeklene volne.
10:20
Now, the great thing about getting it to this point was that
246
604000
3000
Kar je bilo v izjemno pomoč, da sem prišel do sem,
10:23
because in the movie, when they finally bring out the bird at the end,
247
607000
2000
je prizor proti koncu filma, ko sokola končno prinesejo na plano,
10:25
and they place it on the table, they actually spin it.
248
609000
3000
ga postavijo na mizo in ga celo zavrtijo.
10:28
So I was able to actually
249
612000
2000
Tako sem lahko dejansko
10:30
screen-shot and freeze-frame to make sure.
250
614000
3000
vsako sličico filma posebej preverjal, da bi se prepričal.
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
In sledim vsem svetlobnim odbojem na tej reči, da ob držanju svetlobe
10:36
in the same position, I'm getting the same type of reflection on it --
252
620000
3000
v enakem položaju, dobim enako vrsto odseva na njej --
10:39
that's the level of detail I'm going into this thing.
253
623000
3000
v tako natančnost sem se spustil.
10:42
I ended up with this: my Maltese Falcon.
254
626000
3000
Na koncu sem imel to: moj malteški sokol.
10:45
And it's beautiful. And I can state with authority
255
629000
2000
In res je lep. Lahko rečem z avtoriteto,
10:47
at this point in time, when I'd finished it,
256
631000
2000
da je zdaj, ko sem kipec končal,
10:49
of all of the replicas out there -- and there is a few --
257
633000
3000
izmed vseh primerkov, ki obstajajo -- in nekaj jih je --
10:52
this is by far the most accurate
258
636000
2000
to brez dvoma najbolj natančna
10:54
representation of the original Maltese Falcon
259
638000
2000
reprodukcija originalnega malteškega sokola,
10:56
than anyone has sculpted. Now the original one, I should tell you,
260
640000
3000
kar jih je kdo ustvaril. No, originalni primerek
10:59
is sculpted by a guy named Fred Sexton.
261
643000
2000
pa je ustvaril mož z imenom Fred Sexton.
11:01
This is where it gets weird.
262
645000
3000
Tukaj -- stvar postane čudaška.
11:04
Fred Sexton was a friend of this guy, George Hodel.
263
648000
3000
Fred Sexton je prijatelj tega človeka, Georga Hodela.
11:07
Terrifying guy -- agreed by many to be the killer
264
651000
2000
Strašljiv tip -- mnogi se strinjajo, da je morilec
11:09
of the Black Dahlia.
265
653000
2000
Črne dalije.
11:11
Now, James Ellroy believes
266
655000
2000
No, James Ellroy verjame,
11:13
that Fred Sexton, the sculptor of the Maltese Falcon,
267
657000
3000
da je Fred Sexton, kipar malteškega sokola,
11:16
killed James Elroy's mother.
268
660000
2000
ubil mater Jamesa Ellroya.
11:18
I'll go you one stranger than that: In 1974,
269
662000
3000
Stvar postane še bolj čudaška. Leta 1974,
11:21
during the production of a weird comedy sequel to "The Maltese Falcon,"
270
665000
3000
med snemanjem čudnega komičnega nadaljevanja Malteškega sokola,
11:24
called "The Black Bird," starring George Segal,
271
668000
2000
imenovanega "Črna ptica", z Georgeom Segalom v glavni vlogi,
11:26
the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
272
670000
2000
so Los Angeleškem muzeju umetnosti
11:28
had a plaster original of the Maltese Falcon --
273
672000
2000
originalni malteški sokol iz mavca --
11:30
one of the original six plasters, I think, made for the movie --
274
674000
3000
enega izmed šestih originalnih, se mi zdi, narejenih za film --
11:33
stolen out of the museum. A lot of people thought
275
677000
2000
ukradli iz muzeja. Mnogi so mislili,
11:35
it was a publicity stunt for the movie.
276
679000
2000
da je le reklama za prihajajoči film.
11:37
John's Grill, which actually
277
681000
2000
John's Grill, ki se pravzaprav
11:39
is seen briefly in "The Maltese Falcon,"
278
683000
2000
za trenutek vidi v Malteškem sokolu,
11:41
is still a viable San Francisco eatery,
279
685000
2000
je še vedno dejavna gostilna v San Franciscu,
11:43
counted amongst its regular customers Elisha Cook,
280
687000
2000
med njenimi rednimi gosti pa je recimo Elisha Cook,
11:45
who played Wilmer Cook in the movie,
281
689000
2000
ki je igral Wilmerja Cooka v filmu,
11:47
and he gave them
282
691000
2000
in jim je dal
11:49
one of his original plasters of the Maltese Falcon.
283
693000
3000
enega od originalnih primerkov malteškega sokola.
11:52
And they had it in their cabinet for about 15 years,
284
696000
3000
In so ga imeli v svoji omari približno 15 let,
11:55
until it got stolen
285
699000
2000
dokler tudi ta ni bil ukraden
11:57
in January of 2007.
286
701000
3000
januarja leta 2007.
12:00
It would seem that the object of desire
287
704000
2000
Zdi se, da predmet poželenja
12:02
only comes into its own by disappearing repeatedly.
288
706000
3000
postane to šele, ko večkrat zaporedoma izgine.
12:05
So here I had this Falcon,
289
709000
2000
Tu sem torej imel svojega sokola
12:07
and it was lovely. It looked really great,
290
711000
2000
in bil je prelep. Izgledal je res super,
12:09
the light worked on it really well,
291
713000
2000
svetloba je na njega delovala odlično,
12:11
it was better than anything that I could achieve
292
715000
2000
bil je boljši kot karkoli, kar bi
12:13
or obtain out in the world.
293
717000
2000
lahko naredil ali pridobil.
12:15
But there was a problem. And the problem was that:
294
719000
3000
A bil je težava. In sicer,
12:19
I wanted the entirety of the object,
295
723000
2000
hotel sem celoto tega predmeta,
12:21
I wanted the weight behind the object.
296
725000
3000
hotel sem težo predmeta.
12:24
This thing was made of resin and it was too light.
297
728000
2000
Ta stvar je bila iz smole in prelahka.
12:26
There's this group online that I frequent.
298
730000
2000
Na internetu je ena skupina, ki jo pogosto obiščem.
12:28
It's a group of prop crazies just like me
299
732000
3000
To je skupina norcev na rekvizite, kot sem jaz,
12:31
called the Replica Props Forum, and it's people who trade,
300
735000
2000
imenovana Forum replik rekvizitov, in to so ljudje ki trgujejo,
12:33
make and travel in information about movie props.
301
737000
3000
izdelujejo, potujejo in pridobivajo informacije o takih rekvizitih.
12:36
And it turned out that one of the guys there,
302
740000
2000
In izkazalo se je, da je eden izmed ljudi v tej skupini,
12:38
a friend of mine that I never actually met,
303
742000
3000
moj prijatelj, ki ga sploh nikoli nisem srečal, a sva se spoznala
12:41
but befriended through some prop deals, was the manager of a local foundry.
304
745000
2000
skozi posle z rekviziti, hkrati poslovodja v lokalni livarni.
12:43
He took my master Falcon pattern,
305
747000
3000
Vzel je model mojega sokola,
12:46
he actually did lost wax casting
306
750000
2000
s tehniko izgubljenega voska
12:48
in bronze for me,
307
752000
2000
zame naredil odlitek iz brona
12:50
and this is the bronze I got back.
308
754000
2000
in to je bron, ki sem ga dobil nazaj.
12:52
And this is, after some acid etching, the one that I ended up with.
309
756000
2000
In tole je, po nekaj jedkanja, končni izdelek, ki mi je ostal.
12:54
And this thing, it's deeply, deeply satisfying to me.
310
758000
3000
In ta stvar -- me globoko, globoko zadovoljuje.
12:57
Here, I'm going to put it out there,
311
761000
2000
Kar tukaj ga bom postavil,
12:59
later on tonight, and
312
763000
3000
da boste lahko kasneje nocoj...
13:03
I want you to pick it up and handle it.
313
767000
3000
Želim, da ga primete in si ga ogledate.
13:07
You want to know
314
771000
3000
Želite vedeti --
13:10
how obsessed I am. This project's only for me,
315
774000
2000
kako obseden sem. Ta projekt je samo zame,
13:12
and yet I went so far as to buy on eBay
316
776000
3000
a sem vseeno šel tako daleč, da sem na eBay-u
13:15
a 1941 Chinese San Francisco-based newspaper,
317
779000
3000
kupil kitajski časopis iz San Francisca iz leta 1941,
13:18
in order so that the bird could properly be wrapped ...
318
782000
3000
da bi lahko svojega sokola zavil točno tako...
13:22
like it is in the movie.
319
786000
2000
kot v filmu.
13:24
(Laughter)
320
788000
4000
(smeh)
13:28
Yeah, I know!
321
792000
2000
Ja, saj vem!
13:30
(Laughter) (Applause)
322
794000
5000
(smeh) (aplavz)
13:35
There you can see, it's weighing in at 27 and a half pounds.
323
799000
3000
Tukaj lahko vidite, da tehta okoli 12 kilogramov in pol.
13:38
That's half the weight of my dog, Huxley.
324
802000
3000
To je polovica teže mojega psa, Huxleya.
13:42
But there's a problem.
325
806000
3000
Ampak tu je težava.
13:45
Now, here's the most recent progression of Falcons.
326
809000
3000
Tukaj je najnovejši razvoj sokolov.
13:48
On the far left is a piece of crap -- a replica I bought on eBay.
327
812000
3000
Na skrajni levi je drek -- replika, ki sem jo kupil na eBay-u.
13:51
There's my somewhat ruined Sculpey Falcon,
328
815000
2000
Tam je moj nekoliko uničen glineni sokol,
13:53
because I had to get it back out of the mold. There's my first casting,
329
817000
3000
saj sem ga moral dobiti nazaj ven iz modela. Tukaj je moje prvi odlitek,
13:56
there's my master and there's my bronze.
330
820000
2000
tam je moj glavni izdelek in tukaj je moj bronasti sokol.
13:58
There's a thing that happens when you mold and cast things,
331
822000
3000
Pri vlivanju in modeliranju se nekaj zgodi,
14:01
which is that every time you throw it into silicone and cast it in resin,
332
825000
2000
in sicer, vsakič ko ga vržeš v silikon in ga odliješ v smoli,
14:03
you lose a little bit of volume, you lose a little bit of size.
333
827000
3000
izgubiš nekaj volumna in velikosti.
14:06
And when I held my bronze one up against my Sculpey one,
334
830000
3000
In ko sem svojega bronastega sokola držal pri svojem glinenem,
14:09
it was shorter by three-quarters of an inch.
335
833000
3000
je bil krajši za približno 2 centimetra.
14:12
Yeah, no, really, this was like aah --
336
836000
3000
Ja. Ne, res, bil sem šokiran --
14:16
why didn't I remember this?
337
840000
2000
zakaj se nisem na to spomnil?
14:18
Why didn't I start and make it bigger?
338
842000
3000
Zakaj nisem že začel z večjim modelom?
14:21
So what do I do? I figure I have two options.
339
845000
3000
Torej, kaj naj naredim? Vidim dve možnosti.
14:24
One, I can fire a freaking laser at it,
340
848000
3000
Prva, lahko kar ustrelim laser proti sokolu,
14:27
which I have already done,
341
851000
2000
kar sem pravzaprav že naredil,
14:29
to do a 3D scan -- there's a 3D scan of this Falcon.
342
853000
2000
da bi ustvaril 3D načrt -- tukaj je 3D slika tega sokola.
14:31
I had figured out the exact amount of shrinkage I achieved
343
855000
3000
Ugotovil sem natančno, koliko prostornine sem izgubil
14:34
going from a wax master to a bronze master
344
858000
2000
s prehodom od voščenega do bronastega,
14:36
and blown this up big enough to make
345
860000
2000
in načrt povečal dovolj,
14:38
a 3D lithography master of this,
346
862000
2000
da bi ustvaril 3D litografijo sokola,
14:40
which I will polish, then I will send to the mold maker
347
864000
3000
ki ga bom spoliral, nato poslal izdelovalcu kalupov,
14:43
and then I will have it done in bronze. Or:
348
867000
3000
da ga naredi še v bronu. Ali pa --
14:46
There are several people who own originals,
349
870000
2000
obstajajo še ljudje, ki imajo originalne sokole,
14:48
and I have been attempting to contact them and reach them,
350
872000
3000
in sem poskušal priti v stik z njimi,
14:51
hoping that they will let me spend a few minutes
351
875000
3000
upajoč, da mi bodo pustili nekaj minut
14:54
in the presence of one of the real birds, maybe to take a picture,
352
878000
2000
v prisotnosti enega izmed originalov, da morda naredim fotografijo
14:56
or even to pull out the hand-held laser scanner
353
880000
3000
ali pa, da celo privlečem ročni laserski čitalnik,
14:59
that I happen to own that fits inside a cereal box,
354
883000
3000
ki ga slučajno imam in se prilega škatli s kosmiči
15:02
and could maybe, without even touching their bird, I swear,
355
886000
2000
in bi morda, ne da bi se ptice dotaknil, prisežem,
15:04
get a perfect 3D scan. And I'm even willing to sign pages
356
888000
3000
dobil perfektno 3D sliko. Pripravljen sem celo podpisovati dokumente,
15:07
saying that I'll never let anyone else have it, except for me in my office, I promise.
357
891000
3000
da ne bom nikoli nikomur dovolil dostop do nje, razen mene v moji pisarni, obljubim.
15:10
I'll give them one if they want it.
358
894000
3000
Dal jim bom eno, če želijo.
15:13
And then, maybe, then I'll achieve the end of this exercise.
359
897000
3000
I nato, morda, bom dosegel konec te vaje.
15:16
But really, if we're all going to be honest with ourselves,
360
900000
2000
Ampak, če smo iskreni,
15:18
I have to admit that achieving the end of the exercise
361
902000
2000
moram priznati, da priti do cilja vaje,
15:21
was never the point of the exercise to begin with, was it.
362
905000
3000
že od začetka sploh ni bil namen, kajne?
15:24
Thank you.
363
908000
3000
Hvala.
