这个可是国人自己制作的大黄蜂!
There is a story between Transformers and me that I cannot but share with you.
When I was in Grade 4 in 1988, the Transformers appeared. It's no doubt a precious house to a child, especially in an age of entertainment-lacking. I'm lost and enjoying myself among the sounds of transforming, KUKUKAKA. I got accustomed to every characters and every events.
Every Saturday evening, watching Transforming program was the most precious time I was longing for during the week. I would like to buy everything regarding Transformers. It's a pity that only cheapest pasters I could afford. Each time I could stand for a long while to watch transformer toys before small booth.
Later, a classmate took a toy to school. Hasbro's Motormaster. It was said that it was very expensive, compared to other kinds of toys, for it was bought from Shanghai city.
Obviously, I would be no other than admiring and jealousness.
However, other toys cannot be mentioned in the same breath. Because its materials, style is far beyond to compare. Even I was shocked that the logo of Transformer could change its color, which is the clearest memory on my mind till now. I cannot believe that a transformer toy can be made in such an excellent level.
Chairman Mao had said that people can achieve everything he wants in case of his courage.
Later I got an idea to make one by myself.
At the very beginning, I collected boxes which were used to save pencil-lead for it could be easily reached and adhibitted, and its suitable shape, transparency. I tried to make one. It was a racing car or other kind of toy. I cannot remember it exactly. It’s not bad. Anyhow, it's a very important experience by which I become more confident. I have to choose other materials to make other toys, like Starscream, Grimlock, which have more arcs.
Then I turn to use other materials. This time I use ordinary paper. It happens that there are many shell-paper on hands.
Like any other hand-made activities, I image a picture body outspread, and then draw it on paper, and cut it down and paste it. Finally put all parts together. From which I get it more and more clear that thinking is prior to making.
To make a transformer, I have to learn it how to transform at first, and set it down every parts and every joints which will be used to transform. Taking all into consideration, and solve problems one by one, rather than focusing on a detailed one. Through many times trying, the Starscream comes into being completely. “Cool", the first word appears in my mind.(Thank Great Wall for translating )
缘起
我和变形金刚不得不说的故事,一九八八年我四年级,变形金刚出现了。在那个娱乐相对匮乏的年代,对于一个孩子来说这无疑是一处宝藏,我在KUKUKAKA的变形声中遨游着,犹如刘姥姥进了大观园般眼花缭乱。对于里面的人和事熟的不能再熟了。每周六的晚上是一星期最盼望的时间,虽然只是半小时。任何有关的东西都想买,可惜买的起的只是两毛一张的贴纸,每次都在小摊的变形玩具前久久伫立。没过多长时间班里同学带来一样东西,孩子宝产的变形金刚玩具汽车大师。据说是从上海买回来的,价格就当时的玩具来说,无异于天价,对于一个连街边摊的国产货都买不起的人,我显然只有羡慕嫉妒恨的份了,不过正货就是正货,和国产变形金刚玩具是没法相提并论的,材料做工造型都强出一大截,尤其是变形金刚的标志还可以变色(这个记得最清楚)我被震撼了,没想到变形金刚的玩具竟然能做到这种程度。毛主席教导我们,人有多大胆,地有多大产,我萌生了自己做变形金刚的念头。最开始我留意的材料是铅笔芯盒,方的那种。它有几个好处,形状合适,透明,粘接容易,透明胶带就可以了,最重要的一点是它好收集。尝试性的做了一个,好象是可变赛车的,具体记不太清了。当时觉得还不错,自信心有所增强,但是对于红蜘蛛,机器恐龙等弧面比较多的,就无能为力了,于是我开始寻找新的材料,这次回到了传统的纸上,正好家里有好多硬纸壳,我就像做手工劳动一样,先想出形体展开图,再画到纸上,然后剪下来贴好,最后把各个部分组装起来。通过这些我越来越明白,思考是第一步,制作是第二步。做变形金刚,先要了解它是如何变形的,想好各个需要变形的部分,以及他们之间的连接方式,全盘考虑问题,逐个击破难点,不能一上来就抓起某个细节不放。在多次返工下,红蜘蛛终于完成了,我想当时自己心里应该只有一个字“爽”。
Freezing Enthusiasm has been ignited again. People can be easily influenced, but something in one's heart cannot be changed. The first time I saw the foreshow of the transformer, I felt that my feeling comes back. The moment I enter into the cinema, I feel that my dream will soon come into true. According to familiar names, strange faces, classical actor's lines, and fashionable and brand-new Camoro, I exert myself to recall things in 1988. Something just appears and then dies away silently. People always touched by recalling. I'm touched and excited during watching film. It's time to do something to express my true feelings. For I know that I'm still passionate.
梦回
早已冷却的激情有被点燃了,人真的很容易改变,但骨子里的东西却又很难改变。第一次看到变形金刚的电影预告时,我感觉,大师兄就要回来了,而当踏入电影院的那一刻起,这个预感终于变为现实了。熟悉的名字,陌生的面孔,经典的台词,前卫的新Camoro,我在07年的今天努力的寻找着88年的昨天,有一丝出现却又如烟火般悄然消逝,回忆往往另人感动。电影中的我不但感动而且激动。需要做点什么,来发泄发泄,因为我知道,血仍未冷。
I’m idling at home for some days. Since the film show, I'm wondering to do something. Once in a shopping, I was attracted by egg-pie. The largely superficial yellow color looks like car painting. Later I pay more attention to yellow packaging paper, and then find a satisfied one. At that time, I think it might be useful when making my bee. No matter I enjoy it or not, I buy it only in the aim at collecting its packaging paper. (Some pictures was added later, for I did not take a camera before making it.)
孕育
闲赋在家不少日子了。自从变形金刚电影上映以来,一直想干点什么。一次shopping中,无意中看见了蛋黄派,我被它包装盒上较大面积的黄色吸引,有点车漆的感觉。于是我开始留意黄色的包装纸,终于找到了比较满意的。我想到了大黄蜂,可能这些会派上大用场。不管愿不愿吃,收下来先,有点买椟还珠的意思了。(制作的前几天相机没在身边,有些图片是后来补拍的) |
