Q: Lets get the easy one out of the way. How was it like working
on the Equestria Girls sequel?

问:我们从简单的问题开始吧。制作EG2的感觉怎么样?

A: It’s been great… A lot of fun! As a new director I’ve been
learning so much from Jayson and Jim. I’ve been super lucky to have
them sitting in the same room as me to bounce questions of them.
And I’ve also been blessed with an awesome crew I think every one
working on the sequel to Eqeustria girls has really upped their
quality this time around! People have been really passionate about
this next film.

答:挺好的,非常有趣!作为一名新导演,我从Jayson和Jim两人那里学到了很多。能和他们共处一室并探讨问题对我来说实在太幸运了。此外,能跟这样优秀的团队共事也是我的荣幸。我认为EG2的每一位制作者都发挥出了更强的水平。他们对这部续集都热情满满。

Q: What was the most fun and least fun thing about working on
Rainbow Rocks?

问:EG2制作过程中最好玩和最乏味的事都是什么?

A: The most fun? Everything, from giving our input on the
script, to the music… We’ve got some awesome music in Rainbow
Rocks! To working Every day next to these jokesters Jayson and Jim!
Literally every day is a laugh fest! Least fun? Well there have
been some late nights and stressful moments, but that’s all part of
the process. Nothing that’s lasting in my memory as an bad
moment.

答:最好玩?所有的一切,从剧本录入,到音乐制作——EG2的音乐棒极了,到每天跟Jayson和Jim这两位开心果一起工作——简直就像狂欢一样!最乏味的事?嗯,也有熬夜和紧张赶工的时候,但是那都是制作过程的一部分。我的回忆里没有什么称得上糟糕的情况。

Q: When was Rainbow Rocks first started/put into the works?

问:EG2是什么时候开工的?

A: Around May of 2013 was when the we got the premise from
Hasbro.

答:大约2013年5月,那时我们跟孩之宝谈妥了前提条件。

Q: What are some aspects you believe have been improved on from
the first equestria girls film.

问:你认为,与EG1相比,EG2在哪些方面有所提升?

A: Not to biased, but I think the story is even better for
EG2… And we had some great board artists who really got into the
characters. Our layout team is a little more experiences this time
around due to this being their 2nd crack at human characters.

答:不带偏见地说,我认为EG2的故事更好些。我们的分镜艺术家们也更入戏。这次我们的画面构成团队也更有经验了些,毕竟这是他们第二次尝试编排人类角色。

Q: On the same note, how does Rainbow Rocks compare to the first
EQG film as a whole?

问:依据上一题的标准,与EG1相比,EG2的整体情况如何?

A: Again, I may be biased but I think over all it’s going to be
a better film. Since EG1 set the stage for our new world… EG2
gets to focus A little more on the story

答:回答也跟上一题一样,我可能有些偏见,但我认为总体看来EG2是更好的一部影片。由于EG1为新的世界观打好了基础,EG2得以更关注故事本身。

Q: Have you found yourself reading all feedback on the first
Equestria Girls, positive and negative, and done some things to try
to address the criticisms of the first film? Perhaps not just you,
but also the writer(s

问:你是否看过EG1的各种评论,包括支持和反对的,然后试着跟批评者们争论?除了你之外,剧本作者们是否也有这样的情况?

A: I personally didn’t spend too much time reading all the
feedback from the first film… I try not to get too caught up in
the criticism. When we watched the movie in theaters it had a
pretty great response from the audience. That being said, we did
try to make a lot of Improvements on the first movie. I know that a
lot of the feedback from the brony community was valid, but it’s
difficult to filter the Constructive criticism from the trolling
some times. I can’t speak for Meghan who wrote the 2nd script. But
based on how it turned out, I’m sure she heard some of the
feedback.

答:我个人没怎么看过EG1的评论……我努力避免被那些批评所左右。我们在电影院观看EG1的时候,观众反响很好。尽管如此,我们确实在EG1的基础上做了很多改进。小马迷社群的很多评论是有意义的,但有时很难把建设性意见和纯粹的捣乱区分开来。Meghan负责EG2的剧本。我无法代表她的意见,不过从EG2的结果来看,她肯定听说了某些评论。

Producer/Head Writer)。

Q: Were there any hiccups/mistakes/errors in the making of
Rainbow rocks?

问:EG2制作过程中是否遇到过小挫折甚至大问题?

A: Of course not..:P Lol nothing worth saying… For the most
part, everything has been running smoothly.

答:当然没有。(σ゚∀゚)σ 没什么值得说的……大部分情况下一切都很顺利。

Q: What are some scenes/ideas that didn’t make the cut?

问:能说说那些被淘汰的场景或者创意么?

A: Hahaha… Oh god, I wish I could tell you! But some of them
had us ROTFL in the editing suite.

答:哈哈哈……天啊,我真希望能告诉你!我只能说,有些馊主意让我们在剪辑时笑得满地乱滚。

Q: It was revealed at New York International Toy Fair that, like
its predecessor, the film will also get a theatrical release. Do
you know if it will be in limited theaters, like for EQG1, or be
released in most major cinemas?

问:纽约国际玩具博览会上公布的消息说,与EG1一样,EG2会先在电影院上映。就你所知,EG2会像EG1一样,只在特定的几家影院上映?还是会在大多数电影院同时上映?

A: Unfortunately I don’t know exactly what plans Hasbro has for
a theatrical release on EG2. So I probably shouldn’t even
speculate…

答:很遗憾,我并不清楚孩之宝放映EG2的计划,因而我也不应该妄加推测。

Q: So far, the biggest gripe people have expressed towards the
upcoming rainbow rocks film is that Fluttershy only has a
tambourine. Was there any other instrument considered to be given
to Fluttershy?

问:迄今为止,观众们对EG2最大的抱怨是Fluttershy的乐器只是一个铃鼓。是否曾经考虑过给Fluttershy配备别的乐器?

A: Heh yes… This was something already established, and we
didn’t have the power to change it. We had a few different ideas
for Fluttershy’s instrument. Violin being one of them.

答:嗯,确实有过。这一设定已经落实了,我们没法改变它。Fluttershy的乐器曾经有几个不同的备选方案,比如小提琴。

Q: Another thing people have noticed is that the Rainbow Rocks
shorts are much more visually impressive than most of EQG1. Was
this just something done for the shorts, or has Rainbow Rocks been
kicked up a notch?

问:观众还注意到,EG2宣传短片比大多数EG1镜头更具视觉吸引力。只有宣传短片如此吗,还是说整部EG2都上了一个台阶?

A: You can expect the same quality for Rainbow Rocks… Maybe
even better! We had a lot of fun doing the shorts… And that fun
carried over in the rainbow rocks

答:可以说整部EG2的质量都至少与宣传短片持平,甚至更棒!在制作宣传短片的时候我们享受了很多乐趣,而同样的乐趣充满了整部EG2。

Q: Should we expect to see plenty of TV/movie references and
callbacks?

问:我们会看到很多跟联系旧剧情或者追忆的镜头么?

A: There might be a couple… If you look close enough.

答:会有几个。只要你看得足够细。

Q: With tons of Rainbow rocks Trixie merchandise already on
store shelves, and Trixie getting her own short animation, can we
expect to see her play a big role in the upcoming film?

问:EG2版本的Trixie商品已经面市,Trixie也在宣传短片里露脸了,我们会看到她在EG2里大显身手么?

A: I can only tell you that she will be more visible than she
was in EG1.

答:我只能说,她的戏份会比EG1多。

Q: This is an important one. Are we going to see more or less of
Flash Sentry in Rainbow Rocks, compared to EQG1

问:一个很重要的问题:与EG1相比,Flash Sentry在EG2里的戏份是多还是少?

A: I think we’ve utilized the character properly for EG2… I
hope that’s good enough?

答:我认为,我们在EG2里合理地运用了这一角色……希望这能让你们满意。

Q: Besides what we’ve seen, Pop, rock, and dubstep, are there
any other styles of music we can expect to see/hear?

问:从预告片中我们已经看到了流行乐、摇滚乐还有回响贝斯,除此之外EG2还将有别的音乐类型么?

A: As far as the music is concerned you’ll just have to wait and
see… All I can say is that it’s really good! Daniel really
stepped it up for Rainbow Rocks!

答:就音乐而言,你只需要耐心等待……我只能说音乐非常棒!Daniel专门针对EG2优化了音乐部分。

译者注:Daniel Ingram,MLP作曲以及作词家。

Q: Was the fandom a big factor for making the decision to give
dj-pon3 and Trixie bigger roles in Rainbow Rocks?

问:你们在EG2里给了DJ-pon3和Trixie更多戏份,粉丝圈子的意见是这一决定的重要因素吗?

A: For the Rainbow Rocks shorts we had a little more freedom to
be experimental. This is why you guys are seeing videos like Music
to My Ears I think it’s pretty obvious that the fandom does have a
little influence on what we put out there.

答:在EG2宣传短片的制作中,我们自由尝试的余地会稍微多一些。因此你们才能看到像Music to My
Ears这样的视频。我认为,很明显地,粉丝圈子对我们的作品有一定影响力。

Q: Along with EQG1, would you say that Rainbow rocks is canon to
FIM?

问:EG2算FIM的正式故事么?对EG1也有同样的问题。

A: Not 100%. All though the universes are obviously connected,
we’re trying to separate them as best we can.

答:并非全部。虽然两个世界有明显的联系,我们还是尽量把它们区分开来。

Q: Since the portal to EQG land only opens every 30 moons, how
long would you say a moon cycle in Equestria is?

问:通往人类世界的大门每30个“月”才开启一次,那么Equestria的一个“月”周期究竟有多长呢?

A: Hmmm that’s a question better left for Jayson Thiessen. I’d
say it’s roughly around the same as the human world, but then
again, A moon rotation would vary depending on how big or small the
planet it was rotating around?

答:嗯,这个问题让Jayson
Thiessen来回答更合适。大体上,Equestria的一个“月”与人类世界的一个月是相同的。不过,具体周期取决于那颗月球绕着公转的行星的大小?

译者注:实际上这个周期与中心天体质量和公转轨道半径都有关……

Q: That about covers it.

Is there anything else you want tell us about Rainbow ROcks, before signing off?

问:大致就是这样。在采访结束前,还有别的信息可以告诉我们吗?

A: I can tell you that Jayson and I just viewed the first act, and we were extremely happy with how it turned out. We’ve got an OTS [Opening Title Sequence] that’s going to blow your socks off… Thanks to amazing boards and layouts by Tony Cliff Our layout team has done such an awesome job on this movie, thanks to Christopher Lienonen and Steph Mahoney. You’ll especially want to keep an eye out for Katrina Hadley, who’s storyboard panels are a work of art! All in all I think you guys will enjoy Rainbow Rocks… And for those of you who are afraid it interferes with the regular season of MLP, don’t be! No matter what, the team here at DHX is going to bring you the best quality entertainment we know how to! And we’re very lucky to have an amazing relationship with Hasbro entertainment, who give us the freedom to do so.

答:我要说的是,Jayson和我只看了第一幕,但我们对最终效果非常满意。电影的开场片段能让你叹为观止。感谢Tony Cliff带来的精彩的分镜和场景。感谢Christopher Lienonen和Steph Mahoney率领的画面构成团队为影片做出的重大贡献。你也得关注Katrina Hadley的艺术品般的分镜效果。总而言之,我认为你们将享受EG2。还有,那些担忧EG2会干扰到FIM正剧的爱好者们,不要恐慌!无论具体内容如何,DHX的团队都能够而且保证让你们享受到最优质的娱乐。此外,孩之宝允许我们自由发挥,能与其保持良好合作关系也是我们的一大幸事。
