關於作品 / Work
酒瓶上的故事道盡了一切：一個家族傳承超過十代的事業，一點一滴地讓伏特加坎特一號，在荷蘭的斯奇丹－這個美麗小鎮誕生。藝術家The Juggernaut以敘事文體配上低沈嗓音旁白，藉由雷射和傳統活字印刷創作出3D電腦動畫，呈現坎特一號的歷史根源和現代製酒工藝。
Much of their story is right there on the bottle: family owned and operated for over ten generations, Ketel One vodka is crafted from small batches in the picturesque city of Schiedam, Holland. The Juggernaut wanted to showcase Ketel One’s historic roots but also emphasize its modern approach to its craft, something the artist did narratively but also stylistically, by combining drones, lasers and letterpress with classic and 3D animation.

〈坎特一號的誕生〉使用空拍攝影機、Google Map、Google Earth等技術將城市的景象先以3D動畫及虛擬攝影機製成影片，透過繪圖軟體將人物動態設定完成後，以此為素材進行手繪，再用雷射切割木版製作出版畫原版，經壓印後保留木頭紋理，最後串連成為連續影像。成功地運用數位時代所發展的技術融入動畫製作當中。
“Ketel One - Generations” creates the city scene by using aerial camera, Google Map, Google Earth. First, the artist produces images by 3D animation and virtual camera, and then they set up dynamic figures by the graphics software. After that, they draw images according to above materials, and then make the letterpress by wood laser cutting. Finally, images are followed to a continuous flow. This work blends successfully techniques of the digital age into animation production.
