1
- Welcome to Pixar In A Box a collaboration between Pixar Animation Studios - and the Khan Academy.
2
- I'm Fran, I work here on the technical side of things.
3
- And I'm Alex, I work here on the art and story side of things.
4
- (Fran) Pixar In A Box will introduce you to some of the fundamental skills we use to make our movies.
5
- (Alex) There's examples of real life film challenges that show how an artist's idea can create a tidal wave of technical creativity.
6
And how technical advances can inspire artists to think of new ideas to bring to the screen.
7
You'll meet artists, scientists, animators, coders, sculptors, all kinds of different people.
8
- And the thing is, most of them use skills you may already be learning in school.
9
But here in the Box, you can see how we use those skills to make cool stuff.
10
Before you dive into these lessons, you should see how it all fits together inside Pixar, the real Pixar.
11
Come on, check it out.
12
(light, flittering music) - At Pixar on any given day we're working on various stages of many films.
13
- But it all begins with an idea.
14
For example, "Toy Story" started with the notion that when kids leave the room their toys come to life.
15
And, honestly, I was convinced that my toys did that.
16
(scampering instrumental music) - Our films start in story, along with the director and the writer we figure out what happens using simple drawings.
17
- (Fran) It's kind of like a comic book.
18
- (Alex) Exactly, and while we're drawing, production designers and their team start designing the world and the characters.
19
(smooth, cheerful orchestral music) While they're painting and drawing and scultping our storyboards go to editorial, where they string together all the drawings that we've created.
20
- We time them out, add music, dialogue and sound effects.
21
(clicking) - He's the only one who knew what the heck was going aaaaaaahhhhhhh!
22
- And as these shots go through each stage in production, we'll update the scene over and over again.
23
And this is where the science and the math come in.
24
- Who knew what the heck was going aaaaaaahhhhhhh!
25
(mischevious music) - What's next?
26
Pipeline, we're ready to start making the film you'll see in the theater and this happens in a particular order.
27
It's time for our technical artist to figure out how we're going to create the movie in the computer.
28
- I've been here for nine years and I still have no idea how you guys turn our drawings into the finished film.
29
- To be honest, something stumps us on every movie.
30
- Hey Galyn.
31
- Hey. - You've been here since Toy Story, what's been hard on each film?
32
- Well on Toy Story everything.
33
Here let me show you.
34
On Toy Story we were inventing the entire process from scratch.
35
Monsters Incorporated, fur and clothing.
36
On Cars, reflective metal surfaces.
37
On every new film there's a new technical challenge.
38
On Inside Out we had to deal with a character made of glowing particles and it took lots of people to figure out just that one thing.
39
- (Alex) Whoa, what is she made of?
40
- Her shape will be made of points and particles of light.
41
She was tough, this is the 17th version.
42
- And the characters have to move, so someone has to add controls to the model.
43
- Like a puppet, right?
44
- Yes, except instead of strings, our animators will use a computer program to move the characters in a digital world.
45
(bemused music) Next in the pipeline, sets.
46
(playful music) - (Alex) So for Cars 2 you built the entire city of London?
47
- We needed a huge chunk of the city because Mayor and McQueen speed through it.
48
So we figured out to grow buildings with enough variation for them to look real.
49
- (Fran) And we move through that set with our virtual cameras.
50
Next up, animation.
51
- I do know what the animators do.
52
They bring the characters to life.
53
- (Fran) You see how she's moving but her clothes and hair are missing?
54
Adding and moving those elements is going to be someone else's job further down the pipeline.
55
And by somebody else, I mean me and about 20 other simulation technical artists.
56
Where are you getting all these shirts?
57
We have to build everything you see, including the textures and surfaces which help make the world and characters believable.
58
Next stop, lighting.
59
- Ironically it's really dark in the lighting department.
60
(playful music) So when you start, there are no lights?
61
- No any source of light is something we have to add into the scene.
62
In this shot alone there are 230 lights.
63
- (Fran) Last stop, the Renderfarm.
64
- A film is really a series of images or frames.
65
There's 24 of them every second.
66
(light, moving music) - (Fran) This is where we make the frames.
67
Everything comes together here, all the art, math and science.
68
A single frame can take more than 24 hours to render, and that's just one frame, and that's assuming we don't run into any snags.
69
- Whoa! (thuds) (soaring orchestral music) - Wow, it's incredible seeing final shots.
70
And now that I know how they're made, even cooler.
71
- So that's the tour, our next step is to jump back into the Box and choose a lesson.
72
What do you want to try?
73
- Well this one on building robots using combinatorics, that looks pretty cool.
74
- What about the one on sets and staging?
75
- Yeah or the one on animating The Incredibles.
76
- (Fran) Awesome, I always wanted to animate.
77
(silly trumpet music)

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
通过观看《Pixar in a Box》的视频，英语学习者可以在一个充满创意和灵感的环境中练习英语口语。这个视频展示了皮克斯动画工作室在制作电影时如何结合艺术与技术，激发了思维和表达能力。在这个过程中，学习者将有机会接触到多种与电影制作相关的词汇和表达方式，这对于雅思口语练习尤其有帮助。利用视频内容进行英语口语练习，能够帮助学生更好地理解和运用英语，进而提高他们的发音和流利度。
语法与表达方式在语境中的应用
视频中使用了一些关键的语法结构和表达方式，以下是几个示例：
- “It all begins with an idea.” - 这个句子展开了讨论，说明了故事创作的起点，为学习者提供了如何展开叙述的示例。
- “Our films start in story.” - 这里强调了故事的重要性，展示了主语和谓语的搭配方式，适合在日常交流中加强叙述。
- “We needed a huge chunk of the city because…” - 此句展示了因果关系的表达方式，帮助学习者理解如何将两个句子连贯起来。
- “What is she made of?” - 通过询问，学习者可以了解如何用正确的疑问句来引导对话，增强沟通能力。
常见的发音陷阱
在观看视频时，某些单词和口音可能会造成发音的困难，尤其是对于英语口语练习的学习者。这些发音细节包括：
- “animation” - 英语学习者可能在重音和音节上出现错误，影响整体的发音流畅度。
- “sculptors” - 需要注意此单词中的发音和重音，常常易被忽略，在进行英语影子跟读时要特别留心。
- “reflective” - “反射的”这个词在快速语速中可能会变得模糊，因此在雅思口语练习时，应多加练习。
通过反复进行英语口语练习和影子跟读，学习者可以大幅提高他们的发音和听说理解能力，最终实现流利交流的目标。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
