The opening shot is a little confusing and a little unreal.

影片開頭讓人有點困惑而且有點不真實

That sense of unreality is because nearly every shot in this video

這種超現實感是因為這部影片的每段拍攝

動名詞

We filmed this section at 30 frames a second,

Plus, we're using rapid cuts with no continuity between them.

再來，我們使用快速分鏡連接無關聯的畫面

We've also got some cutaways in extreme slow motion,

我們也使用超慢動作的旁跳畫面

and it lets me do a moody stare into the distance

這也讓我可以以略帶悲傷的眼神盯著遠處看

without having to hold it for so long that it becomes awkward.

卻不會因為畫面停留太久而變得尷尬

It also lets us fit in some product placement.

Some of the shots aren't slow motion, though.

This is being played back faster than real time,

so that the dancers seem more synchronised and precise than they really are.

這樣一來，舞者會看起來更整齊，動作也看起來更俐落

I mean, don't get me wrong, they're good,

別誤會我的意思，他們跳得很好

but with the speed change, their movements look superhuman.

但改變影片速度，他們的動作看起來超乎常人

because having attractive people move in attractive ways

We couldn't afford a wind machine for this shot,

這段影片，因為我們買不起風扇機

so we bought a leaf blower from a hardware store.

We kept the receipt, so we can return it after we're done.

我們把收據留著，這樣拍完這段後才能退貨

The trouble with filming everything in the wrong frame rate

So the vocal track for this was pre-recorded in a studio,

所以這部影片的音檔都是在錄音室事先錄音的

and I'm lipsyncing it at the wrong speed.

If my lips don't quite match up at some point,

如果我對嘴的部分沒有對到畫面時

or to a completely random slow-mo shot of an object being destroyed,

或是改放某樣物品被破壞的慢動作畫面

Actually, this isn't the studio where we recorded the vocal track.

其實，這裡也不是我錄音軌的錄音室

I recorded this weeks ago so we could plan everything,

我在一週前就錄好音檔，這樣就能預先規劃所有拍攝

so we had to go to this separate recording studio to fake that footage.

所以要特地去一間錄音室來拍攝假錄音影片

We're now about two thirds of the way through

影片進行到了差不多三分之二處

so here's a middle eight from me, the featured artist,

這個橋段穿插我的畫面，一首歌中的客串歌手

Our schedules didn't match up, so this was all filmed separately.

我們的拍攝行程配合不上，所以這段是分開拍攝的

Despite that, we're still trying to convince everyone

that Tom and I met up and are great friends

我跟 Tom 見了面，而且是好朋友

This is the bit where we break up the video with a bit of diegetic audio,

so people can't just rip the whole thing off YouTube.

這樣別人就不能在 YouTube 上盜用我的影片

It may look like we're having a spectacular time,

這也許會讓你感覺我們度過了一段美好的時光

but in reality we are on our fifteenth take.

because it resolves the question at the start:

因為這解釋了影片一開始的問題

Because ending the same way we started makes the audience think that

畫面這樣結束的話，觀眾就會覺得

there's a sensible, circular narrative that ties everything together.

整部影片有邏輯、把所有片段湊在一起了
