Thomas Ling - MSN訪談(下)



Kawa 說:
not this is ok
tom 說:
ok
Kawa 說:
Website is build by your self,
Have you ever finish a design work with team or other form?
網站是你自己建構的,
請問你是否有以團隊或是其他形式完成過一件作品?
tom 說:
I have worked with a few contractors over the past 2 years or so. Namely Simply Interactive, Dice Media, and also Ultimate Pros. I had different responsiblities for all of them and so yes, i have worked with a team. Recently, i was responsible for the original concept design of the official Amare Stoudemire website with UP and the site was finished by them.
我在過去兩年裡有跟幾個團體合作過。像是Simply Interactive, Dice Media, 和 Ultimate Pros。在每個合作時我都有不同的任務。像是Amare Stoudemire的網站,我是負責設計原始概念,而網站由UP完成。
Kawa 說:
is this website http://www.thatsamare.com/ ?
是這個網站嗎 http://www.thatsamare.com/ ?
tom 說:
yer
tom 說:
they changed it quite a bit
他們改的有點不同
tom 說:
i absolutely hate it. they ruined my design.
我非常討厭這個網站。他們毀了我的設計
tom 說:
could we speed this up a little please
我們可以稍微加快速度嗎?
Kawa 說:
sorry sorry ok
Kawa 說:
The “Freedomedia – Whisper” website is you created when you were 15yr
Do you reference any other website at that time
The “Freedomedia – Whisper” 網站是你在15歲時完成的,
請問當時你有參考其他網站設計嗎 ?
tom 說:
Definately not. As with all my designs, i try my best to not be influenced by any existing design so that i can create something unique everytime. The only time i would be influenced by another design would be if it were my own.
當然沒有。每次我設計時,會盡量在不去參考任何當時流行的設計下去完成,這樣才會有我的特色。唯一的例外是,如果那不是我自己的設計
Kawa 說:
You say your inspiration is clouds , what is clous meaning?
你說”雲”是影響你的來源,請問”雲”是什麼意思
tom 說:
Clouds as in the clouds in the sky
雲就是在天上的雲
tom 說:
Clouds are very lucid things. They change shape with the wind and if you look at them sometimes, there are very interesting curvatures and shapes because the wind is moulding them as they drift past. In a way, the clouds present a very "real" shape and feeling which is what i try to do with all my designs, to create a good flow. As you can see with motiongermv1 and motiongerm collectives, there
雲是非常簡單的東西。有時候你看他們時,他們會隨著風的經過,出現很有趣的曲線和形狀。雲代表非常真實的形狀和感受,這也正是我的設計理念”創造更流暢的感覺”。
tom 說:
are various curves and shapes that blend into one another. these elements are inspired by the clouds i see in the sky.
在我網頁的第一版裡就有不同的曲線和形狀的混合。那些都是受雲的影響
Kawa 說:
What kind of design case that you want to challenged (brand or show form)?
tom 說:
im sorry i dont understand the question
Kawa 說:
ok we can skip it ^^
Kawa 說:
Do you any company that you dream of joining for
Kawa 說:
Do you have any company that you dream of joining for?
你有夢想進入的公司嗎?
tom 說:
I would really love to work with Fantasy Interactive (FI) purely because i've seen their case study videos and their approach to design is incredible. They also seem to have an awesome working environment and just a very positive vibe.
我非常想進入Fantasy Interactive (FI)這家公司,因為我看過他們的案子幕後製作影片,非常厲害。他們似乎有非常棒的工作環境。
Kawa 說:
oh is this your photo ,reallly handsome
Kawa 說:
sorry we keep on
tom 說:
hahah
tom 說:
yes iti s
Kawa 說:
ha^^ Could you give some advise to us that want to learn FLASH?
可以給我們這些想學習FLASH的新人幾個建議嗎?
tom 說:
A lot of people will tell you to join Flash workshops or buy books but really, the best way to learn is to learn by doing. There are alot of online places that give you tutorials on the basics of Flash including www.ultrashock.com , www.flashkit.com . Forums are a great place to start - its where i began. I also used to get source files (legally) or more technical things such as preloaders and
很多人都會告訴你去加入一些研討會或是買本書,但是真正最好的學習方法就是動手做。網路上有很多地方可以提供你基礎教學,像是www.ultrashock.com , www.flashkit.com .討論區是一個很好的出發點,我也是從這開始。
tom 說:
learn through looking through the way htey are coded and put togethor. I now own an online store (www.pureloaders.com ) that sells premade template preloaders. Flash is one of those programs that no book or class can really teach you. You may gain all the technical skills but its the art of motion and design that is the key to a successful interactive piece.
我 會去找一些原始檔(合法的)或是一些像preloaders技術性的東西,從這些東西去學習如何寫語法和合併。我自己也有一個專門銷售 preloaders的樣版網路商店。FLASH只是這些程式裡的其中一個,沒有書可以真的教你。你也許會獲得所有的技巧,但是motion和設計才是成 功互動的關鍵。
Kawa 說:
Which work that you most satisfied until now?
你目前最滿意的作品
tom 說:
To be quite honest i can't say because i'm not satisfied with any of my work. I truly hate it all. When i look over them, i see all these things that i could have done better, or something that would have just given it that extra "kick". I have never really been able to impress myself design wise. Even now, the concept draft for motiongerm'07 i hate already!
說真的我沒辦法回答,因為我對我所有的作品都不滿意。我非常恨它們。當我回頭去看之前的設計時,我其實都可以做的更好。即使現在,我已經開始恨我的的新網頁motiongerm'07了。
Kawa 說:
^^
Kawa 說:
and What is your next step? ( motiongerm'07 ? )
那你的接下來的計畫? ( motiongerm'07 ? )
tom 說:
Well i'm currently completing my final year of highschool. I plan on launching motiongerm'07 in march next year but there are a lot of other side projects that i wish to do. There are a few designers that i have talked about collaborating with and also a few studios that i've been wanting to contract with. Really, the next step would be to re-enter the industry and hopefully get some part-time
我現在會完成我的高中學業。我計劃在07年3月發佈我的新網頁,不過還有很多其他的事我想去做。有一些設計師在和我討論合作案及一些我已經想接觸的工作室。說真的,下一步是想要重新回到這個領域,
tom 說:
work in a Sydney studio while i go through university.
並希望在上大學前Sydney studio 打工一陣子
Kawa 說:
And you say you like alt. rock .
Could you recommend some your favorite CD for us ^^?
你說你喜歡非主流搖滾,
那可以介紹我門幾張CD嗎?
tom 說:
Ha my music taste has always revolved around rock. Overtime it has changed a little. Back during version1, i used to listen to Linkin Park and Trapt, but now i'm heavily into the rock/screamo/emo/indie type of rock. Just to list a few: Emery, Silverstein, Armor For Sleep, Chiodos, Underoath and Thrice.
哈,我聽的音樂都是以搖滾為主。不過還是有一些改變,以前我聽Linkin Park、Trapt,但是現在,我非常的喜歡 rock/screamo/emo/indie 搖滾類型。幾個如:Emery, Silverstein, Armor For Sleep, Chiodos, Underoath and Thrice
Kawa 說:
Have you ever seen taiwan’s design works
你有看過任何台灣的設計作品嗎?
tom 說:
I've followed www.letinmotion.com . His work is quite incredible. Other than that, no i haven't seen much of the works from Taiwan.
我有注意到 www.letinmotion.com . 他的作品很棒。除之之外就沒有了。
Kawa 說:
And lastly
Could you give us some your photo?
tom 說:

Kawa 說:

tom 說:

tom 傳送:

Talk to you soon,
Tom

Kawa 說:
ok
Kawa 說:
Why you named your website "MOTIONGERM"
為何你的網站要命名為”MOTIONGERN”
tom 說:
I feel that motion is the key to an interactive experience. Because of this, i decided to incorporate the word "motion" into my alias. Being that the industry is so saturated, i felt very insignificant at the time before the v1 launch (i was not well recognised) and so the word "germ" fits very appropriately because thats they way i felt, like a single germ admist the entire world.
我認為motion是互動的關鍵,因為這樣,我決定將這個詞放到我的別名裡。
而網頁設計這個領域又很飽和,在我的個人網頁第一版(我個人不是很承認它)出現前,我感到非常的渺小,所以”微生物”這個詞十分的貼切,就像是一個微生物進入這個世界。
Kawa 說:
oh i see .. and seconed question
Kawa 說:
How do you promo your work?
你是如何promo你的作品
tom 說:
promote?
Kawa 說:
yes^^ sorry
tom 說:
Generally Motiongerm.com recieves thousands of unique visitors every month. Whenever there are any events industry wise with motiongerm, people tend to find out because i would update my news feed. But for clientelle work, since I work mainly with contractors, a lot of the work i do isn't really recognised as mine and so exposure is minimal for myself. I don't really go way out to try and
通常Motiongerm.com每個月都會有上千個不同的訪客瀏覽。我會更新我的網頁,當訪客他們有任何需求時,會自己前來尋找。但如果是委託的案子,大部分的作品我都不是很承認是我自己的。
tom 說:
market motiongerm, it just happens. Visitors come and if there is anything that i really want to show or express, i place it on the splash page. As you can see, the current splash page notifies everyone of the 2007 motiongerm that will occur. In a way, this i guess can be called "promoting" my own work, creating anticipation for a new version.
我並不會真的去行銷我的網站,它會自然的發生。我會把我真的想呈現的東西放在我的首頁給訪客看。就像是現在我的網頁2007 motiongerm首頁訊息一樣。我想這大概就是我的promoting方式。
tom 說:
im not sure if i've answered the question lol
不知道這樣有沒有回答你的問題
