(How fake food is made for TV and movies)

（電視節目及電影裡的食物模型是如何製作的）

TV shows and movies will try to use real foods on screen when possible, but there a number of reasons why food props might be used instead.

電視節目和電影會盡量用真正的食物進行拍攝，但有些情況下節目組可能會使用食物模型代替。

For example, if ice cream is used, they don't want it to melt between takes, or if you need a lot of food in the background of a shot.

舉例來說，如果劇情需要冰淇淋，劇組不會想看到它在拍攝過程中融化；或者背景需要大量食物的時候也會使用。

Companies like Independent Studio Services and Display Fake Foods offer pre-made food props that can be ordered in bulk.

像是 Independent Studio Services 和 Display Fake Foods 這種公司能提供事先做好的食物模型，還提供大量訂購。

But oftentimes, movies need items specially made.

然而有時電影會需要客製化食物模型。

That's when they seek out a fake food artist, like Lisa Friedman.

在《歡樂滿人間》裡，她為這幕用餐場景做了些冰淇淋。

In their diner scene, they wanted milk shakes and hot fudge sundaes and banana splits that were new, half-eaten, quarter-eaten so that they could switch them out during the... the takes.

在戲中用餐場景裡，他們想要奶昔、熱焦糖聖代、 香蕉船；還要沒吃過、剩一半，或是已經吃了四分之一的狀態，這樣他們就可以跟著拍攝步調來更換。

And sometimes, your food doesn't even make the final cut.

有時，食物模型出現的鏡頭最終也沒被保留下來。

"Thor" actu⏤the movie actually bought, like, 500 dollars' worth of doughnuts, and they had a building that said Donut Shop or Donut Planet.

電影《雷神索爾》原本花了大概 500 塊美金買甜甜圈，為了鏡頭裡一棟叫 Donut Shop 還是 Donut Land 的建築，

They never went inside, so I didn't see my doughnuts; I was very sad.

After the order is submitted, typically, the customer will send her a real version of the food they want duplicated.

訂單確認以後，通常顧客會先把他們想要做模型的食物樣本寄給她。

Then she will produce a mold out of the item to get the exact size and shape.

接著她會用該樣本做出模具，以複製出一模一樣的尺寸及形狀。

We try to mold it close to the color so that we're not starting with a blank white canvas.

我們會盡量相近的顏色做模型基底，這樣就不用從一片空白開始做起。

Typically, fake foods are made with rubber or foam.

通常假食物的材料是橡膠或泡棉。

She pours the material into the mold and lets it set.

她把原料倒進模子定型。

Foam rises like actual dough, so she needs to prevent it from spilling out.

泡棉會像真正的麵團一樣膨脹起來，所以要小心別讓泡棉溢出來。

It's like I'm baking a cake, right? I'm baking my bread.

Then she sands the excess pieces down.

然後她用砂紙磨掉不需要的部分。

Once the item is dry, it's painted and detailed to look like real food.

With my background in painting, I can color it to be as, you know, as realistic as it is.

軟木樹皮會像穀麥片一樣散開來，所以我們會把這些軟樹皮拿來拆解。

Sometimes, real food is used.

有時候也會用上真正的食物。

Like covering actual popcorn, cereal, or candy in resin to preserve it.

It's often hard to tell the finished product from the original.

通常很難去辨別哪些是模型成品、哪些又是真的食物。

I don't do this for the money.

我做這個不只是為了賺錢，

It's, kind of, more for the accolades, when my customers write, "Oh, I love it; it came out great."

也是為了從工作成果中獲得的正面回饋，例如客戶會告訴我：「噢我好愛它，成品真是太棒了！」

And while these items might make your mouth water, they're only a feast for your eyes.

這些食物模型雖然看起來很可口，但別忘了它們只供觀賞喔。
