The way that the Phantom camera works is different than any other camera.
幻影的工作方式和其他任何摄影机的工作方式都不一样。
It actually doesn't record to like a card.
这种摄影机不会把拍摄内容写到（内存）卡上。
The Phantom actually records to just a RAM buffer.
幻影只会把内容写到RAM缓冲区。
So basically it just records until you hit stop and it recorded the previous six seconds.
它只会记录，在你按下停止键之前的前6秒的拍摄内容。
It'll overwrite itself, so basically it's constantly erasing what happened six seconds ago."
它会自动重写，就等于它会不断地删除6秒前的内容。”
"As if you didn't have enough pressure already."
“搞得跟你们的压力还不够大似的。”
"So we, we actually rigged a little, uh, RC car servo.
“所以我们才装了一个小小的类似遥控车的遥控的东西。
So like push the button via a little remote control, you know, for us also.
就相当于通过按下遥控器上的一个按钮来控制拍摄。
We started out with a piece of plywood that we curved, um,
一开始我们用的是一个折弯的胶合板。
and then actually in early testing, it broke, um, halfway through the spin.
结果那个板子在早期的一项测试中给折断了，还是在旋转的过程中折断的。
We did a laminate kind of like what you use for countertops.
后来我们又弄了个做桌面的那种层压板。
Within that too, we needed to make sure the drink looked good.
我们还得确保把饮料放进去之后能有一个好的视觉效果。
The food stylist would do that.
这就是食品设计师的工作了。
Um, and that's, you know, one of our challenges is that the lighting has to be great.
嗯，这就是我们面临的另一个难题，也就是你还得把光打好。
Once we got the rig, we got the cameras secured, we got the lighting figured out,
等弄好了旋转台，固定好了摄影机，光也调好了，
and then we had to drop a lime in the center of this thing on cue.
这个时候就要往这个东西的中心点扔柠檬了。
So, uh, we had to build another device, um, to do that.
所以，我们还得再弄一个装置，才能达到预期的效果。
So basically a remote control device that we mounted to the ceiling that had like little hinges,
基本就是在最上面给它安装一个带有铰链的遥控装置，
like kind of barn doors that just kinda like flapped open when we,
就是类似于谷仓门上那种你按一下，
when you push the button so that we preloaded the lime,
铰链就会弹开的那种，我们拍摄之前先放好柠檬，
we spun up the speed and then psh
然后给旋转台加速，然后，duang，
and then there went boom, down into the drink and get the, you know, that, let us get the aim right.
柠檬就掉下去，准确无误地落到饮料里。
So we have three robots.

And then we have Johnny five, you know, Johnny five is alive.
还有就是5号约翰，有生命的5号约翰。
"Hi honey, I'm home!"
“嗨，亲爱的，我回来了！”
"Number 5?"
“5号？”
"The Bolt initially, when you come to see your work,
"那台闪电，说到你的工作，
it's sort of the showstopper for an outsider like me,
它在我这种外行眼里就算是特别惊艳的发明了，
but then you realize that actually the crazy stuff is all the stuff that you're making.
但细想之下你又发现，鼓捣这些浮夸的东西可不就是你的本职工作嘛。
I guess from the beginning you realized you'd need to program supplementary robots to better control the motion of objects?"
我想，你从一开始就已经意识到需要搞个辅助机器人来帮助团队更好地控制各个部分的运动了吧？”
"I started as a still photographer just doing still photos.
"我一开始只是一名静态摄影师，就只做静态照片。
I started as a hobby taking classes in like MIG welding,
当初我纯粹是出于爱好，就上了一些课，比如MIG焊接，
and TIG welding and woodworking and plastics and epoxies and micro circuits and Maya.
