ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jakob Trollback - Designer
Jakob Trollback is a pioneering designer, whose work in video and motion graphics has helped define the industry -- always pushing the edges of technology and entertainment through design.

Why you should listen

Jakob Trollback is a designer and creative thinker -- and he's also a DJ, which becomes clear when you see the work of his firm, Trollback + Company, distinguished by an almost musical attention to rhythm, form and detail.

As creative director for R/GA in the 1990s, Jakob Trollback was among the earliest group of designers to understand and embrace the importance of digital media, and the effect it would have on culture at large. Working on film titles, TV commercials, interactive displays ... Trollback translated the sea changes in media for advertisers and marketers, as well as Hollywood.

His firm Trollback + Company speciaizes in motion graphics -- those often-overlooked elements that set the tone for film and TV titles, short-form video and TV ad campaigns. Recently, Trollback designed the low-key but perfect titles for Deborah Scranton's Frontline documentary Bad Voodoo's War. They've also designed the video wall at the Frank Gehry-designed IAC building in New York City.

I’m working a lot with motion and animation,

4000
Unë jam duke punuar shumë me mocjone dhe animacjone,
00:16
and also I'm an old DJ and a musician.
1
4000
5000
dhe gjithashtu unë jam një digjejë i vjeter dhe një muzikantë.
00:21
So, music videos are something that I always found interesting,
2
9000
5000
Pra, videot muzikore janë diqka që unë gjithmon i kam konsideruar si interesante,
00:26
but they always seem to be so reactive.
3
14000
2000
mirpo ato gjithashtu është dashur të duken disi reaktive.
00:28
So I was thinking, can you remove us as creators
4
16000
7000
Pra unë isha duke menduar, a mundemi tv hiqemi ne si kreatorë
00:35
and try to make the music be the voice
5
23000
4000
dhe të provojmë ta bejmë muziken si i takon zëri
00:39
and have the animation following it?
6
27000
3000
dhe ti marrim animacjonet ta ndjekin atë?
00:42
So with two designers, Tolga and Christina, at my office, we took a track --
7
30000
8000
Pra me dy dizajnera, Tolga dhe Christina, në zyren time, ne morem një gjurmues --
00:50
many of you probably know it. It’s about 25 years old,
8
38000
3000
ndoshta shumica prej jush e njehni atë. Ishte rreth 25 vjeq i vjetër,
00:53
and it's David Byrne and Brian Eno --
9
41000
3000
dhe është David Byrne dhe Brian Eno --
00:56
and we did this little animation.
10
44000
3000
dhe ne e bemë këtë animacjonë të vogel.
00:59
And I think that it's maybe interesting, also,
11
47000
3000
Dhe unë mendoj se ndoshta është interesante gjithashtu,
01:02
that it deals with two problematic issues,
12
50000
3000
e cila merret me dy qështje problematike,
01:05
which are rising waters and religion.
13
53000
5000
të cilat rrisin ujin dhe religjionin.
01:26
Song: Before God destroyed the people on the Earth,
14
74000
5000
Kënga: Përpara se zoti ti shkatrronte njerëzit në tokë,
01:31
he warned Noah to build an Ark.
15
79000
4000
ai e paralajmoi Noah për të ndërtuar një mbulojë.
01:37
And after Noah built his Ark,
16
85000
4000
Dhe pasi Noah ndërtoj mbulojen e tij,
01:41
I believe he told Noah to warn the people
17
89000
6000
Unë besoj se ai i tregoj Noah për ti paralajmruar njerëzit
01:47
that they must change all their wicked ways
18
95000
4000
që ata duhet patjeter ti ndërrojne të gjitha fitilat e tyre
01:51
before he come upon them and destroy them.
19
99000
5000
përpara se ai të vij dhe ti shkatrroj ata.
01:57
And when Noah had done built his Ark,
20
105000
4000
Dhe kur Noah përfundoj së ndertuari mbulojen e tij,
02:01
I understand that somebody began to rend a song.
21
109000
9000
Unë e kutpoj se dikush filloj të rendis një këng.
02:10
And the song began to move on I understand like this.
22
118000
7000
Dhe kënga filloj të lëvizte, pra unë e kuptova kështu.
02:23
And when Noah had done built his Ark ...
23
131000
3000
Dhe kur Noah ka të përfunduar ndërtimin e mbuleses së tij ...
02:34
Move on ... In fact ... Concern ...
24
142000
1000
Vazhdoni... faktikisht.. konkretishtë..
02:54
So they get tired, has come dark and rain; they get weary and tired.
25
162000
7000
Pra ata lodhen, vjen errësira dhe shiu; ata lagen dhe lodhen.
03:04
And then he went and knocked an old lady house.
26
172000
2000
Dhe ai shkoj ti trokiste një zonjë të vjetër në shtëpi.
03:06
And old lady ran to the door and say, "Who is it?"
27
174000
6000
Dhe zonja doli nga dera dhe tha, "Kush është?"
03:13
Jack say, "Me, Mama-san, could we spend the night here?
28
181000
3000
Jack tha, "Unë, mama-san, a mund të qëndrojme sonte këtu?
03:16
Because we’re far from home, we’re very tired."
29
184000
4000
sepse ne jemi larg nga shtëpia, ne jemi shumë të lodhur."
03:24
And the old lady said, "Oh yes, come on in."
30
192000
3000
Dhe zonja e vjetër tha, "Po sigurisht, ejani."
03:33
It was come dark and rain, will make you weary and tired.
31
201000
8000
Kishte rën errësira dhe shiu, ishin laguar dhe lodhur shumë.
03:47
(Applause)
