这是人生的大冒险
It was the adventure of a lifetime,
在覆盖地球三分之一的海洋中拍摄生命
filming life in an ocean that covers a third of the planet.
场面宏大令人难以置信
The scale of all of this is just incredible.
好了
Good to go.
更复杂
More complex...
更极端
...more extreme...
比我们想象的更不可思议
...more incredible than we imagined.
最好的团队和最新的技术
The best crews and the latest technology.
二十个国家 七十七个不同地点
20 countries. 77 different locations.
拍摄时间超过四年
More than four years from go to whoa.
最可怕的噩梦
It's your worst nightmare.
在丛林里迷路
Lost in the jungle.
厄尼
Ernie!
不知该说些什么
And lost for words.
有人投掷炸♥药♥
Somebody lobbed over dynamite.
史诗般的发现和小奇迹
Epic discoveries and small wonders.
从未见过三英寸的鱼建造七十英寸大的巢穴
I've never seen a 3-inch fish build a 70-inch-big nest.
《大太平洋》 幕后花絮
奄美大岛 日本
我们根本不知道
We couldn't have done it
没有潜水大♥师♥伊藤木崎
without dive master Kimiaki Ito.
二十多年前 他发现了奇妙的图案
Over 20 years ago, he discovered fantastic patterns
神秘地出现在海底
that mysteriously appear on the sea floor...
而且同样神秘地消失了
...and just as mysteriously vanish.
他和科学家一起揭示了这是
He worked with scientists to reveal what they are...
雄性窄额鲀为了吸引雌性而筑的巢
...nests made by a male pufferfish to attract a female.
但从未拍摄过巢的建造过程
But he's never filmed them being built.
我们的工作
That's our job.
要在这里捕捉筑巢事件超过一个星期
The event we're here to capture spans more than a week.
所以我们带了所有能想到的拍摄设备
So we've brought every piece of filming equipment imaginable.
拆包和安装要花好几个小时
Unpacking and setting up takes many hours.
带来了一些高分辨率的摄像机
We brought some high-resolution cameras
可以用4K慢镜头记录
that records in 4K in slow motion,
这样我们就可以看到
SO we were able to see behaviours
很难实时看到的行为
that would be hard to see in real-time.
摄影师彼得·克拉格和厄尼·科瓦奇
Cameramen Peter Kragh and Ernie Kovacs
是业内最优秀的水下摄影师
are some of the best underwater shooters in the business.
他们会用设备来拍摄
And they'll be using equipment to match.
彼得和厄尼有几千小时水下拍摄经验
Peter and Ernie have thousands of underwater hours.
他们知道做好工作和保证安全
And they know getting the job done and staying safe
首先要有扎实的准备
begins with solid preparation.
所以他们小心地安装好装备
So they carefully set up their gear.
潜水员刚到这片海域
For divers new to these waters,
寻找窄额鲀的巢简直是大海捞针
a pufferfish nest is a needle in a haystack.
伊藤已经搜索了这片海域可能的地点
But Ito has already searched the area for likely locations
并用浮标标记了出位置
and has marked the spot with a buoy.
-在那边 -那边
-Uh, over there. -Over there.
他巧妙地克服了语言障碍
He cuts through the language barrier in a clever way.
像这样的拍摄深度很重要
Depth matters on a shoot like this.
-水越深 -直接下去
-The deeper the water... -Straight down?
潜水员在海底停留的时间就越短
...the shorter the diver's stay on the bottom.
离船五十米远
50 metres from the boat.
-在那儿 还有十五米 -嗯
-There, and 15 metres. -Mm-hm.
-还有十五米深 -完美 这是
-And 15 metres down. -Perfect. That's...
如果这么浅的 那么我们可以
If we can find them that shallow, then we can...
-是啊 很理想 -呆一整天
-Yeah, that'd be ideal. -Stay all day. Yeah.
是的 没错
Yeah. Absolutely.
如果可以在浅水中找到
If they can be found in shallow water,
潜水员会更容易 更安全
it will be easier and safer for the divers.
我们在海底游泳
So we're out swimming across the sand flats
寻找窄额鲀的巢
looking for the pufferfish nests,
我以为可能找不到
and I don't think I ever would have seen them.
有一些非常细微的痕迹
There's just these very subtle little marks
是上一次建造留下的
when they're first building.
我本来想直接游过去
I would have swam right over them,
但伊藤在小石板上
but Ito wrote on his little slate-
写着“那些是窄额鲀新的巢"
it's like, "Those are new pufferfish nests."
有了伊藤 我们找到了
With Ito, we were able to find 'em.
没有他 我们就会有麻烦
Without him, we would... would have been in trouble.
伊藤说 雄窄额鲀努力工作
Ito says the male pufferfish work hard
巢很快就会成型
and the nests quickly take shape,
我们也要赶快准备
So we better get busy too.
也许
Maybe.
谢谢
Thank you.
开始吧
Good to go.
第二天我们又回去了 果然
We went back the next day, and sure enough,
河底上已经有了圆圈
already, there were circles on the bottom
窄额鲀就在里面 摇曳着尾巴
and the pufferfish were in there and flicking their tails around
拍打着身子 挖出沙子 然后
and flicking their whole bodies and digging up sand, and...
他说的对 窄额鲀在筑巢
He was right. Those pufferfish building their nests.
从头开始拍摄筑巢需要
Filming construction from scratch will require
日出到日落潜水 长达一周时间
diving from sunrise to sunset for up to a week.
彼得和厄尼立刻发现了一个问题
Immediately, Peter and Ernie see a problem.
拍摄时离巢太近
Filming so close to the delicate nest,
脚蹼产生的水流会毁掉巢
the wake from their fins could destroy it.
他们造了个A型框架
They build an A-frame rig they can use
作为坚固安全的拍摄位置
as a sturdy and safe camera position,
很好地避开窄额鲀和筑巢
well clear of the pufferfish and its creation.
相当新奇
Quite a contraption.
但首先 我们要弄清楚如何放在那里
But first, we have to figure out how we put it up there.
我们需要一种方法到巢的上方 向下直视
We needed a way to get above the nest and looking straight down
固定好摄像机
and have the camera rock-solid,
所以不得不造个精心制♥作♥的A型框架
so we had to build this elaborate A-frame of pipes,
实际上效果很好
and it actually worked pretty well.
建造可能是世界上最大的摄像机三脚架
Building what might be the world's largest camera tripod
也带来了挑战 如何把这个搬到海里
creates its own challenge- how to get it out to sea.
基本上 就是扔到船上 带到那里
Basically, just threw it on the boat, took it out there,
再绑在绳子上 然后扔到海里
tied it to a line and kind of chucked it overboard.
我们丢的地方
We dropped it in a place
不能在窄额鲀巢上面
where we weren't gonna land on any nests,
所以我们必须非常小心
so we had to be careful about that.
然后再从那里带到巢穴
Then we had to get it from there to the nests.
在水下行走很棘手
Walking underwater is tricky.
脚踝负重帮助厄尼避免漂浮
Ankle weights help Ernie to keep from floating away.
我们发现巢穴很浅
We found the nests pretty shallow,
只有四十五英尺深 所以
so we were only about 45 feet deep, so...
太阳出来的时候 有很多光从上面照下来
When the sun's out, a lot of light coming down from above.
这是美丽盘绕的巢穴
You know, it's a beautiful... convoluted nest
这些美丽的沙圈
and all these beautiful ridges,
在正常光线下看不到
but you can't see that in normal light,
所以我们放下了一些
so we brought down some, you know,
大功率电池灯 突然间
high-powered battery lights, when all of a sudden,
就像这个平坦的圆圈 砰的一声
what just looked like this flat circle, like, pops,
还有美丽的沙圈 是啊 一切都变了
and its beautiful ridges and... yeah, makes all the difference.
A型框架给了他们需要的巢穴顶部镜头
The A-frame gives the guys the top shot of the nest they need.
他们也想拍下筑巢的小鱼
But they also want to film the tiny fish that makes it.
特写镜头要尽可能放得更低
That means getting as low as possible for close-ups.
所以彼得装配另一台摄像机
So Peter puts another camera rig together.
为了让窄额鲀看起来与众不同
To make this sequence where the pufferfish look different,
我们想使用不同的新工具
we wanted to use different and new tools.
滑动条允许我们把摄像机
The slider allowed us to take the camera
移♥动♥到离地面很近的地方
and move it down really close to the ground
这样沙圈就会出现在画面的前景中
so the ridges would appear in the foreground of the frame.
所以有一个焦点外的前景
So you have an out-of-focus foreground
然后有窄额鲀
and then you have the pufferfish
在背景中做筑巢的事情
doing their thing in the background.
不知疲倦
Working tirelessly,
窄额鲀用身体的不同部位
the pufferfish uses different parts of his body
来雕刻沙子
to sculpt the sand.
对细节的执着令人惊讶
His attention to detail is astonishing.
我在水下拍摄超过十五年
