托德:拉斐爾,你在大學(xué)主修什么課程?
Raphael: My main specialty is stage design, but stage design is basically theater decoration, but it tends to disappear because there is not so many job in this field, so it's closely related to interior design and light design as well, so basically I'm doing light and interior design. That's my job!
拉斐爾:我的專業(yè)是舞臺(tái)設(shè)計(jì),基本上來說舞臺(tái)設(shè)計(jì)就是劇院裝飾,不過這門課程有逐漸消失的趨勢(shì),因?yàn)檫@個(gè)領(lǐng)域的工作崗位不多,由于這門專業(yè)與室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)和燈光設(shè)計(jì)有緊密的聯(lián)系,所以我現(xiàn)在在做燈光設(shè)計(jì)和室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)。這就是我的工作!
Todd: OK. Why is theater design going away? Because people are not going to the theater?
托德:好。為什么劇院設(shè)計(jì)會(huì)消失?因?yàn)槿藗儾辉偃≡毫藛?
Raphael: No it's not being away, but the point is it's a difficult job because there's not so many money coming from this practice, you know, because the theater system is not, not so many people go to the theater comparing to cinema or exhibits or, you know, this kind of things, and it's quite a reserved to the highlight, and it's very difficult for the, actually, the artists who works in this area cause there's not a lot of money coming from it so just living, like designing for theater is quite difficult.
拉斐爾:不是,目前并沒有消失,但是關(guān)鍵是這是一項(xiàng)非常難的工作,因?yàn)檫@類工作實(shí)際上掙錢不多,你知道,因?yàn)閯≡合到y(tǒng)的情況,相比于電影院和展覽會(huì)這類的地方,去劇院的人并不是很多,那里只是保留下來,而且在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域工作的藝術(shù)家也很困難,因?yàn)閽赍X不多,所以靠設(shè)計(jì)劇院為生非常難。
Todd: Well, I can imagine. So, what kind of design would you like to do then?
托德:嗯,我可以想象。那你喜歡做哪種設(shè)計(jì)?
Raphael: Now, I'm really interested in light design. That's the reason why I came to Japan, because they have some really interesting light designer here, especially because they don't have the same strict architecture rules that we have in France, like every time you want to build something new, or just decorate a shop, anything, you need, once the project is over, everything's prepared you need to show it to an architect who specialize in this very rules. He will tell you if you can or not actually build it, corresponding to the rhythm of the existing buildings, you know the lines, the structure of everything, things like that. It's really difficult, so Japan is changing faster, they destruct, they build a new building, and they destruct, and they build something new, they don't really care aboutthe past of the buildings so there's a lot of liberty from light designer. It's very free. They can do some really interesting things.
拉斐爾:現(xiàn)在我對(duì)燈光設(shè)計(jì)非常感興趣。這就是我來日本的原因,因?yàn)檫@里有一些非常引人注目的燈光設(shè)計(jì)師,尤其是因?yàn)?,我們法國有一些?yán)格的建筑規(guī)則,但是這里沒有,比如說每次你想建造一些新的事物,或者是裝修店鋪或其他的東西,一旦方案完成,你要把所有的準(zhǔn)備向一名建筑師展示,這個(gè)人專攻這些規(guī)則。他會(huì)告訴你你是否能進(jìn)行這項(xiàng)工程,要和現(xiàn)有建筑的狀態(tài)相呼應(yīng),比如建筑的輪廓、結(jié)構(gòu)等等類似的事情。這非常難,可是日本的變化非??欤麄兤茐?,他們建造出一個(gè)新建筑以后,就會(huì)進(jìn)行破壞,他們建造出了新的建筑,而他們并不太在意過去那些建筑,所以這給了設(shè)計(jì)師很大的自由。這里可以自由發(fā)揮。他們會(huì)做一些非常有意思的事情。
Todd: Well, what would be your dream job, if you could have any job?
托德:嗯,如果工作的話你的理想工作是什么?
Raphael: My dream job? I wish I could make a connection between my light design skills and my taste for music, sound design. Actually it's, theater is one place where these things mix up. Cinema is one place where it mix up as well, but there's not a lot of fields where you can like think at the same time about the effect produced by the sound, and the effect produced by the light.
拉斐爾:我的理想工作?我希望我能把我的燈光設(shè)計(jì)技術(shù)和我喜歡的音樂、音效設(shè)計(jì)結(jié)合在一起。實(shí)際上,劇院就是可以把這些整合在一起的地方。當(dāng)然電影院也是可以整合這些的地方,但是能同時(shí)結(jié)合音效和燈光效果的地方并不是很多。
Todd: So, it's be like a scary movie has dark lighting and dark music?
托德:那就像恐怖電影配黑暗的燈光和黑暗的音樂嗎?
Raphael: Yeah, this kind of thing. This kind of, but when you want to produce a moment because it's basically what it's about, it's producing a moment, a feeling, like you can use any media, right? Whatever it is, it's not important. The important is what are you creating, has an effect, but when you use at the same time, light and sound it's quite complement, complementary.
拉斐爾:對(duì),大概就是這樣。類似這種,但是當(dāng)你想創(chuàng)造出一個(gè)時(shí)刻,大概就是……創(chuàng)造出一個(gè)時(shí)刻,一種感覺,你可以使用各種介質(zhì),對(duì)吧?無論那是什么,這并不是很重要。重要的是你創(chuàng)造出來的東西要有效果,但是當(dāng)你同時(shí)使用燈光和音效的時(shí)候,就會(huì)更加完美,會(huì)產(chǎn)生互補(bǔ)的作用。
Todd: Oh, OK. Well, best of luck.
托德:嗯,好。祝你好運(yùn)。
