Pershendetje
00:17
I'm going to be talking a little bit about
1
2000
2000
Une do te flas pak rreth
00:19
music, machines and life.
2
4000
3000
muzikes , makinerive , dhe jetes.
00:22
Or, more specifically,
3
7000
3000
Ose me specifikisht ,
00:25
what we learned from the creation of a very large and complicated machine
4
10000
3000
cfare ne mesuam nga krijimi e nje makinerie te madhe dhe komplikuar
00:28
for a music video.
5
13000
2000
per nje video muzike
00:30
Some of you may recognize this image.
6
15000
2000
Disa nga jush mund ta njohin kete imazh.
00:32
This is the opening frame of the video that we created.
7
17000
3000
Kjo eshte hapja e nje pjese te videos qe ne kemi krijuar.
00:35
We'll be showing the video at the end,
8
20000
2000
Ne do t'ju tregojme videon ne fund ,
00:37
but before we do, I want to talk a little bit about
9
22000
3000
por perpara se ne ta bejme , Une duar te flas pak rreth
00:40
what it is that they wanted.
10
25000
2000
cfare eshte ajo qe ata kerkuan .
00:42
Now, when we first started talking to OK Go --
11
27000
3000
Kur ne fillim ne filluar te flisnim me OK Go--
00:45
the name of the song is "This Too Shall Pass" --
12
30000
3000
emri i kenges eshte "This Too Shall Pass"--
00:48
we were really excited because
13
33000
2000
ne ishim vertet te emecionuar sepse
00:50
they expressed interest in building a machine that they could dance with.
14
35000
3000
ata shprehen interes per te ndertuar nje makineri me te cilen mund te kercenin.
00:53
And we were very excited about this
15
38000
2000
Ne ishim shume te emocionuar rreth kesaj
00:55
because, of course,
16
40000
2000
sepse, sigurisht,
00:57
they have a history of dancing with machines.
17
42000
3000
ata kishin nje histori kercimi me makineri.
01:00
They're responsible for this video, "Here It Goes Again."
18
45000
3000
Ata ishin pergjegjes per kete video, "Here It Goes Again"
01:03
50-million-plus views on YouTube.
19
48000
2000
50-milion shikime ne Youtube .
01:05
Four guys dancing on treadmills,
20
50000
3000
Kater djem te cilet kercenin ne makineri ecjesh
01:08
no cuts, just a static camera.
21
53000
2000
asnje shkeputje, vetem nje kamera statike.
01:10
A fantastically viral and wonderful video.
22
55000
2000
Nje video virale fantastike dhe e mrekullueshme.
01:12
So we were really excited about working with them.
23
57000
2000
Keshtu qe ishim me te vertet te emocionuar per te punuar me ata.
01:14
And we sort of started talking about what it is that they wanted.
24
59000
3000
Dhe ne filluar te flisnin rreth cfare ishte ajo qe ata kerkonin.
01:17
And they explained that they wanted
25
62000
2000
Dhe ata na shpjeguan qe kerkonin
01:19
kind of a Rube Goldberg machine.
26
64000
2000
nje tip makinerie Rube Goldberg.
01:21
Now, for those of you who don't know,
27
66000
3000
Tani, per ata qe te cilet nga ju nuk e dine,
01:24
a Rube Goldberg machine
28
69000
2000
nje makineri Rube Goldberg
01:26
is a complicated contraption,
29
71000
2000
eshte nje paisje shume e komplikuar
01:28
an incredibly over-engineered piece of machinery
30
73000
3000
nje makineri tmerrsisht e mbi-projekturar
01:31
that accomplishes a relatively simple task.
31
76000
3000
qe permbush nje levizje the thjesht .
01:34
So we were excited by this idea,
32
79000
2000
Ne ishim te emocionuar nga kjo ide,
01:36
and we started talking about
33
81000
2000
dhe filluam te flisnim se
01:38
exactly what it would look like.
34
83000
2000
si do te dukej ekzaktesisht.
01:40
And we came up with some parameters, because,
35
85000
2000
Dhe arritem me disa parametra qe--
01:42
you know, building a Rube Goldberg machine
36
87000
2000
ju e dini , te ndertosh nje makineri Rube Goldberg
01:44
has limitations,
37
89000
3000
ka kufizime,
01:47
but it also is pretty wide open.
38
92000
3000
por gjithashtu gjeresisht e hapur .
01:50
And we wanted to make sure that we did something
39
95000
2000
Dhe ne donim te ishim te sigurte qe po benim dicka
01:52
that would work for a music video.
40
97000
3000
qe do te funsiononte per nje video me muzike.
01:55
So we came up with a list of requirements,
41
100000
3000
Keshu qe ne morem nje lisite per kerkesa,
01:58
the "10 commandments,"
42
103000
2000
prej tipit te "10-te urdheresave,"
02:00
and they were, in order of ascending difficulty:
43
105000
3000
dhe ato ishin, ne rregull veshtiresie:
02:03
The first is "No magic."
44
108000
2000
E para eshte "Ska magji."
02:05
Everything that happened on screen had to be
45
110000
2000
Cdo gje zhvillhen ne ekran duhet te jete
02:07
very easily understood by a typical viewer.
46
112000
2000
lehtesisht e kuptueshme nga nje shikues tipik.
02:09
The rule of thumb was that, if my mother couldn't understand it,
47
114000
3000
Regulli i gishtit ishte, nqs, mamaja ime s'do ta merrte vesh ate,
02:12
then we couldn't use it in the video.
48
117000
2000
dhe ne s'do mundnim te perdorim ate video.
02:14
They wanted band integration,
49
119000
2000
Ata donin integrim ne varesi te bandes,
02:16
that is, the machine acting upon the band members,
50
121000
3000
qe so te thote qe makineria te leviz sipas pjestareve te bandes,
02:19
specifically not the other way around.
51
124000
2000
specifikisht jo ne nje menyre tjeter.
02:21
They wanted the machine action to follow the song feeling.
52
126000
3000
Ata donin levizjet e makinerise te ndiqnin ndienjen e kenges.
02:24
So as the song picks up emotion,
53
129000
2000
Duke kapur kenga emocion,
02:26
so should the machine
54
131000
2000
ashtu dhe makineria
02:28
get grander in its process.
55
133000
2000
rritet ne vet procesin e saj .
02:30
They wanted us to make use of the space.
56
135000
2000
Ata deshin qe ne te benim perdornim hapsiren.
02:32
So we have this 10,000-square-foot warehouse we were using,
57
137000
3000
Keshutu qe ne kemi 10,000 metra katrore magazine qe po perdornim ,
02:35
divided between two floors.
58
140000
2000
te ndare ne dy kate.
02:37
It included an exterior loading dock.
59
142000
2000
Ajo perfshinte nje port te jashtme per ngarkime.
02:39
We used all of that, including a giant hole in the floor
60
144000
3000
Ne e perdorem te gjithe ate , duke perfshire vrime gjigande ne kat
02:42
that we actually descended the camera and cameraman through.
61
147000
3000
qe ne aktualisht zbrisnim kameren dhe kameramanin permes saj.
02:45
They wanted it messy, and we were happy to oblige.
62
150000
3000
Ata e donit ate te remujshme , dhe ne ishim te lumtur per ta bere .
02:48
The machine itself would start the music.
63
153000
2000
Makineria vet do te fillonte muziken.
02:50
So the machine would get started,
64
155000
2000
Keshtu qe makineria te fillonte,
02:52
it would travel some distance,
65
157000
2000
do te levizte ne nje distance,
02:54
reacting along the way,
66
159000
2000
duke reaguar gjate rruges ,
02:56
hit play on an iPod or a tape deck
67
161000
2000
duke ndezur nje iPod apo kasete
02:58
or something that would start playback.
68
163000
2000
ose dicka qe do ta bente playback.
03:00
And the machine would maintain synchronization throughout.
69
165000
3000
Dhe makineria do te mbante sinkronizimin gjate gjithe kohes.
03:03
And speaking of synchronization,
70
168000
2000
Dhe duke folur rreth sinkronizimit,
03:05
they wanted it to sync to the rhythm
71
170000
2000
ata donin te sinkronizomin ritmin
03:07
and to hit specific beats along the way.
72
172000
3000
dhe goditjet e duhura ne vazhdim.
03:11
Okay. (Laughter)
73
176000
3000
Ne rregull ( Qeshje )
03:14
They wanted it to end precisely on time.
74
179000
3000
Ata donin qe ajo te mbaronte ne kohen e duhur.
03:17
Okay, so now the start to finish timing has to be perfect.
75
182000
3000
Ok tani koha e nisjes dhe fundit duhet te ishin perfekte.
03:20
And they wanted the music to drop out
76
185000
2000
Dhe ata donin qe muzika te nderpritej
03:22
at a certain point in the video
77
187000
2000
ne nje pike te videos
03:24
and actual live audio from the machine
78
189000
2000
dhe te degjohej zhurma nga makineria
03:26
to play part of the song.
79
191000
2000
qe luante nje pjese nga kenga.
03:29
And as if that wasn't enough,
80
194000
2000
Dhe sikur kjo te mos mjaftonte,
03:31
all of these incredibly complicating things, right,
81
196000
3000
te tera ngaterresa te pabesueshme gjerash ,
03:34
they wanted it in one shot.
82
199000
2000
ata i donin ne nje levizje .
03:36
(Laughter)
83
201000
2000
( Qeshje )
03:38
(Applause)
84
203000
4000
( Duartrokitje )
03:43
Okay.
85
208000
2000
Ok .
03:46
So, just some statistics
86
211000
2000
Ja, disa statistika
03:48
about what we went through in the process.
87
213000
2000
reeth, disa nga gjerat qe perjetuam gjate procesit .
03:50
The machine itself has
88
215000
2000
Makineria ne vetvete ka
03:52
89 distinct interactions.
89
217000
2000
89 veprime te ndryshme .
03:54
It took us 85 takes
90
219000
3000
Ne na u deshen 85 prova
03:57
to get it on film
91
222000
2000
per ti vendosur ne nje film
03:59
to our satisfaction.
92
224000
2000
per kenaqesine tone .
04:01
Of those 85 takes,
93
226000
2000
Nga ato 85 provat,
04:03
only three actually successfully completed their run.
94
228000
3000
vetem tre nga ato kompletuan detyren e tyre.
04:07
We destroyed two pianos
95
232000
2000
Ne prishem dy piano
04:09
and 10 televisions in the process.
96
234000
3000
dhe 10 televizora gjate procesit.
04:12
We went to Home Depot well over a hundred times.
97
237000
3000
Ne shkuan reth 100 here tek Home Depot posacerisht per kete pune .
04:15
(Laughter)
98
240000
2000
( Qeshje )
04:17
And we lost one high-heeled shoe
99
242000
3000
Dhe ne humbem nje kepuce me take
04:20
when one of our engineers, Heather Knight,
100
245000
2000
kur nje nga inxhinjeret tona,Heather Knight,
04:22
left her high-heeled shoe -- after a nice dinner,
101
247000
2000
la njeren nga kepucet te saja me tak te larte ---mbas nje darke te mire ,
04:24
and returned back to the build --
102
249000
2000
dhe u kthye per te ndertuar
04:26
and left it in a pile of stuff.
103
251000
2000
dhe e la ate nje nje tufe me gjera .
04:28
And another engineer thought, "Well, that would be a really good thing to use"
104
253000
2000
Dhe nje inxhinier tjeter mendoi, " Do te ishte me te vertet nje gje e mire per ta perdorur."
04:30
and ended up using it as a really nice trigger.
105
255000
2000
Dhe e perfundoi duke perdorur taken si nje kembez te bukur .
04:32
And it's actually in the machine.
106
257000
3000
Dhe eshte aktualisht ne makine.
04:35
So what did we learn from all of this?
107
260000
2000
Pra cfare mesuam nga e gjitha kjo ?
04:37
Well, having completed this,
108
262000
2000
Duke, perfunduar kete,
04:39
we have the opportunity to step back and reflect
109
264000
2000
ne patem mundesine per te reflektuar
04:41
on some of the things.
110
266000
2000
nga disa nga gjerat .
04:43
And we learned that small stuff stinks.
111
268000
2000
Dhe ne mesuam qe gjerat e vogla mbajne ere te keqe.
04:45
Little balls in wooden tracks
112
270000
3000
Topa te vegjel ne pjese druri
04:48
are really susceptible to
113
273000
2000
jane me te vertete te ndjeshem nga
04:50
humidity and temperature and a little bit of dust,
114
275000
2000
lageshtira dhe temperatura dhe pak pluhur ,
04:52
and they fall out of the tracks,
115
277000
2000
dhe ato bien jashte binarve,
04:54
the exact angles makes it hard to get right.
116
279000
2000
qe kendet ekzakte jane te veshtira per ti gjetur ekzakt .
04:56
And yet, a bowling ball will always follow the same path.
117
281000
3000
Dhe akoma, nje top i bowling do te ndjeke gjithmone te njejten rruge.
04:59
It doesn't matter what temperature it is,
118
284000
2000
Nuk ka rendesi sa eshte temperatura,
05:01
doesn't matter what's in its way;
119
286000
2000
nuk ka rendesin se cfare i del para ;
05:03
it will pretty much get where it needs to go.
120
288000
2000
do te shkoje atje ku ka nevoje te shkoje.
05:05
But as much as the small stuff stinks, we needed somewhere to start,
121
290000
2000
Por aq shume sa gjerat e vogla vijne ere, ne na duhej ta fillonim diku,
05:07
so that we would have somewhere to go.
122
292000
2000
keshtu qe do kishim ku te shkonim .
05:09
And so you have to start with it. You have to focus on it.
123
294000
3000
Dhe keshtu qe duhet ta fillosh me te.Ti duket te fokusohesh ne te.
05:12
Small stuff stinks,
124
297000
2000
Gjerat e vogla mbajne ere,
05:14
but, of course, it's essential, right?
125
299000
2000
por, gjithashtu, eshte esenciale .
05:16
What else? Planning is incredibly important.
126
301000
3000
Cfare tjeter ?Planifikimi eshte shume i rendesishem .
05:19
(Laughter)
127
304000
4000
( Qeshura )
05:23
You know, we spent a lot of time ideating
128
308000
2000
A e dini, ne kaluam nje kohe te gjate duke ideuar
05:25
and even building some of these things.
129
310000
2000
dhe madje edhe ndertuam disa nga keto gjera.
05:27
It's been said that, "No battle plan
130
312000
2000
Eshte thene qe, "Asnje plan lufte
05:29
survives contact with the enemy."
131
314000
2000
nuk i mbijeton kontaktit me armikun"
05:31
I think our enemy was physics --
132
316000
2000
Une mendoj qe armiku jone ishte fizika,
05:33
(Laughter)
133
318000
2000
( Te qeshura )
05:35
and she's a cruel mistress.
134
320000
3000
dhe ajo eshte nje dashur e mizore .
05:38
Often, we had to pull things out as a result
135
323000
2000
Zakonisht ne duhet te terhiqnim gjerat si rezultat
05:40
because of timing or aesthetics or whatever.
136
325000
3000
i kohes apo estetikes ose cfare dickaje tjeter
05:43
And so while planning is important, so is flexibility.
137
328000
3000
Dhe kshu ndersa planifikimi eshte i rendesishem , keshtu eshte dhe fleksibiliteti.
05:46
These are all things that ended up
138
331000
2000
Keto jane te gjitha gjera qe perfundojne
05:48
not making it into the final machine.
139
333000
2000
per te mos ta bere nje nje makineri te plote .
05:50
So also, put reliable stuff last,
140
335000
3000
Gjithashtu vendosni gjerat e besueshmene fund,
05:54
the stuff that's going to run every time.
141

gjerat qe do te vihen ne pune cdo kohe.
05:56
Again, small to large is relevant here.
142
341000
3000
Perseri te vogla per te medhaja jane te rendesishme ketu.
05:59
The little Lego car in the beginning of the video
143
344000
3000
Makina e vogel prej Legosh ne fillim te videos
06:02
references the big, real car
144
347000
2000
referon te madhen , makinen e vertet
06:04
near the end of the video.
145
349000
2000
afer mbarimit te videos.
06:06
The big, real car works every time; there's no problem about it.
146
351000
3000
Makina e madhe, e verteta punon cdo kohe, ska problem rreth asaj .
06:09
The little one had a tendency to try to run off the track
147
354000
2000
Kjo e vogla ka tendencen te dali jashte nga rruga
06:11
and that's a problem.
148
356000
2000
dhe ky eshte nje problem.
06:13
But you don't want to have to reset the whole machine
149
358000
2000
Por ti nuk do te ta risistemosh te tere makinen
06:15
because the Lego car at the end doesn't work, right.
150
360000
2000
sepse makina prej Legosh ne fund nuk punon apo jo .
06:17
So you put that up front so that, if it fails,
151
362000
2000
Keshtu qe ti e ve ate ne fillim, ne menyre, qe po te deshtoj ,
06:19
at least you know
152
364000
2000
te pakten ti e di
06:21
you don't have to reset the whole thing.
153
366000
2000
ti e di qe nuk ke nevoje ta regulloshte te teren.
06:23
Life can be
154
368000
3000
Jeta mund te jete
06:26
messy.
155
371000
2000
e rremujshme .
06:29
There were incredibly difficult moments in the building of this thing.
156
374000
3000
Kishte momente vertet te veshtira ne ndertimin e makinerise.
06:32
Months were spent in this tiny, cold warehouse.
157
377000
3000
Muaj te tere kaluam nje kete magazine te ftohte .
06:35
And the wonderful elation that we had
158
380000
2000
Nje ngazellim te madhe patem
06:37
when we finally completed it.
159
382000
2000
kur perfundimisht e perfunduam ate.
06:39
So it's important to remember that whether it's good or it's bad,
160
384000
3000
Keshtu qe eshte e rendesishme per te kujtuar qe edhe sikur te jete e mire apo e keqe,
06:42
"This Too Shall Pass."
161
387000
2000
"Ajo gjithashtu do ta kaloje"

Why you should listen
