My name is Michael Fredrickson, I often work on our sets here.

我的名字是 Michael Fredrickson，我在皮克斯通常是做佈景相關的工作。

But I'm also the master of ceremonies for our Halloween celebration.

但我也對公司的萬聖節慶典暸若指掌。

At Pixar, we take not being serious on Halloween pretty seriously.

在皮克斯，我們很嚴肅地看待「不要太認真過萬聖節」這件事。

It feels like a bunch of kids playing in a place of work, where, of course, you should be able to do that,

感覺就像一群孩子在工作場合玩耍，當然了，你本來就應該能夠這麼做

especially in a place that's trying to tell stories the way we do.

尤其是在一個用我們的方式說故事的地方。

And Halloween is this really cool, almost improv opportunity.

而萬聖節是一個近乎即興表演的絕佳機會。

You see a lot of people sitting at their desk animating, dressed up, sitting there dialing in some animation on Buzz.

你會看到一群奇裝異服的人坐在座位上畫動畫，或處理著巴斯光年身上的動畫。

And we all get together in the atrium, have lunch.

然後我們都會聚在中庭共進午餐。

People come up on stage; they can show off the craftsmanship of what they made.

人們會上台，並炫耀他們的好手藝。

If they want to do, like, a little interaction with the host or a performance in character, that can be really great.

如果他們想的話，可以與主持人互動或來段角色表演，那將會非常精彩。

Stuff's happening all over; it's just very fun chaos.

到處都有趣事在發生，雖然混亂但十分有趣。

A lot of people use their favorite character from a movie they worked on or that we just did as inspirations.

很多人會以他曾負責過或剛製作的電影中最喜歡的角色為靈感。

Jake Brooks came dressed as Marlin, with all these long balloons around him, plus this swaying sea anemone.

Jake Brooks 曾經扮成馬林，全身上下環繞著長長的氣球，還有一個會飄動的海葵。（譯註：馬林為電影《海底總動員》中尼莫的爸爸）

And then he was holding his son, dressed up as Nemo, inside.

而他把他打扮成尼莫的兒子抱在懷中。（譯註：尼莫為電影《海底總動員》中的主角）

Sonoko Konishi is this amazing craftswoman.

小西園子是一位了不起的工藝師。

And she makes full-on, theme-park-grade versions of our characters.

她將我們的角色完完全全的做出來，堪比主題樂園等級。

《天外奇蹟》結尾的小凱文。（譯註：凱文為電影《天外奇蹟》中的彩色巨鳥，結尾出現牠的孩子們）

栩栩如生、毛茸茸的小米。（譯註：小米為電影《料理鼠王》主角）

One year, she came as Mike Wazowski at the beginning of "MU", so just like, this adorable, little, one-eyed monster.

有一年，她扮成《怪獸大學》開頭中的麥克‧華斯基，就像這個可愛的小獨眼怪。（ 譯註：麥克‧華斯基為電影《怪獸大學》、《怪獸電力公司》中的「大眼仔」）

We used to give away these prizes at Halloween that had a dollar amount.

我們曾經會在萬聖節頒發這些價值好幾美元的獎品。

They were, like, actually valuable; you might be jealous of the person who won one of them.

它們都很值錢，你可能會羨慕獲獎的那個人。

But I thought we might be able to better reinforce what Halloween is actually about here if the prizes at the end weren't so valuable;

但我認為，如果這個獎品最終不是那麼有價值的話，我們或許該更強調萬聖節在皮克斯所代表的意義。

if they were these grassroots, improvisational things that were an extension of the fun part.

像是更親民、更出其不意的獎品，作為樂趣的延伸。

The first year, the grand prize was that Ed Catmull, the president of our company and creator of foundational concepts in computer graphics,

第一年的頭獎是：我們公司的總裁兼CG基礎概念的創始人──Ed Catmull，

would serve as technical support for the next crazy computer question that your parents have.

他會在下次你父母問一些離譜的電腦問題時，充當技術客服人員。

So, next time, when any parent calls you up and is like, "The sound doesn't work and my printer is out of ink,"

所以下次當你父母打電話來說：「聲音播不出來、我的印表機沒墨水了」時，

we have them call up the president of our company, and he can try to debug what's going on.

我們會請他打電話給總裁，他可以試著了解一下是怎麼回事。

We'll take pictures of you from every possible angle

我們會從每一個角度幫你拍照，

so we can have you 3D-printed and put on a trophy that we've put in the trophy case right next to the Oscars.

好將你3D列印出來，並放在奧斯卡獎盃旁邊的獎座上。

I'm like, well, we'd better keep winning Oscars or I'm gonna crowd 'em all out with these tchotchkes.

我心想，好吧，我們最好繼續斬獲奧斯卡獎，否則我要用這些小玩意把它們全都擠掉。

There has been smaller ones, like, you and whoever you've dressed up with get to mow the lawn at Pixar on the riding lawn mower.

我們也有過較小的獎項，像是你和跟你一起變裝的夥伴可以騎著除草車，修整皮克斯的草皮。

Or you immediately get to come with me and we're gonna throw watermelons off the roof.

或是你可以馬上跟著我一起上樓，從屋頂丟下幾顆西瓜。

One of the prizes one year is a catered lunch in the Pixar elevator.

有一年的獎品之一是在皮克斯電梯裡的一頓午餐。

Probably the biggest spectacle of a prize that we ever did was this idea that we're gonna have this big, huge, red button.

我們所做過最壯觀的獎品大概是，我們想要有一顆巨大的紅色按鈕。

You push this button, and all of a sudden, the atrium just goes haywire.

你按下這個按鈕後，中庭就會突然陷入混亂。

A wacky, wild, inflatable tube man busted out of a gift-wrapped box and started waving around.

一個古怪、瘋狂的充氣管子人從禮盒中衝出來，開始四處揮舞。

We set off an enormous confetti cannon with orange and black confetti.

我們施放了一個橙色和黑色的大型彩紙炮。

And then out of our main theater comes the entire Berkeley Marching Band, dressed up as skeletons.

然後柏克萊樂隊全體就穿著骷髏裝，從我們的主劇院走出來。

I think a little bit of chaos is really important to balance out all the rationality and rigidity it takes to get something really difficult done.

我認為要平衡完成艱鉅任務所需的理性和死板，一點點的混亂是很重要的。

Halloween just happens to be a day to do a lot more of the chaotic, crazy stuff.

而萬聖節恰好是可以做更多混亂、瘋狂事情的一天。
