（Preparing for GWL）

2003年6月13日

　　As the week draws to a close, many departments have wiped away the last seven days from their dry-erase boards, leaving "GWL" written on the upcoming week. Those three letters signify that George Lucas is set to arrive on Monday to start his time down here in Sydney. That means a working weekend for some to tie up loose ends for the director's walk-through next week.
　　随着一个星期即将结束，许多部门把这最后的七天从他们的备忘板上擦去，在即将来临的那个星期的位置上只留下“GWL”三个字母。这三个字母意味着乔治·卢卡斯将在下周一抵达悉尼，正式开始其工作的倒计时。这也意味着，对一些部门来说，这是一个忙碌的周末，因为他们要为这位导演下周开始的排练进行最后的扫尾工作。

　　For the Art Department, it will largely be business as usual. Early Monday morning George is scheduled for a tour of the various sound stages alongside Producer Rick McCallum, Production Designer Gavin Bocquet, Supervising Art Director Peter Russell, Art Director Ian Gracie, Director of Photography David Tattersall and 1st Assistant Director Colin Fletcher. After that, meetings are scheduled every second day if required. These will replace the video-conferencing that has been the norm the past few months. Since the people involved have stayed very much in touch across the ocean, George's arrival isn't expected to change much about the sets, but his actually walking through them could inspire new ideas and directions.
　　艺术部的大部分人员今天照常工作。下周一一早，乔治已经预定要巡视各个声音舞台，作陪的还有制片人瑞克·迈凯伦、作品设计师加文·博奎特，艺术监督指导彼特·拉塞尔，艺术主任伊恩·格雷西，摄影导演大卫·塔特萨以及首席助理导演科林·弗莱彻。接着，如果需要，预计每两天开一次会。这些会议将取代过去几个月中通常的电视电话会议。由于有关人员的跨洲接触十分频繁，因此乔治的到来应该不会对布景作出多大的改动 ，不过通过亲自在这些布景中走上一圈，有助于这位导演获得新的灵感和思路。

　　I can spot significant progress in my stroll through the sets today. Palpatine's office and connecting corridors now have the familiar red walls. The Jedi Council chambers are coming together. A new starship bridge sharing the same stage as Padmé's apartment looks almost finished, with greenscreen hangings suspended over it.
　　今天在布景中闲逛时，我可以看出这种重大的进展。帕尔帕汀的办公室以及衔接走廊现在有了熟悉的红色墙壁。几个绝地议会室也被集合起来。同一个舞台上还有一座新的星际飞船的舰桥，同时，帕德美的公寓看起来也几近完工，上方悬挂着绿色幕布。

　　For other departments not privy to weekly video-conferencing, having George present will answer many questions and clarify many unknowns. All works in progress will be presented for his approval and comments.
　　对于那些不参加每周例行电视电话会议的部门来说，乔治的到场意味着要回答许多问题，澄清许多未定的事。所有进行中的工作将等待他的正式批准以及评价。

　　Hair and Makeup are showing photos of their various tests to him; Hayden Christensen is slated for a full makeup test on Monday for his Episode III look. In the Costume Props Department, the rapidly approaching first day of shooting has allowed Supervisor Ivo Coveney to better prioritize projects. Knowing what's required for the first week of shooting lets him allocate and schedule the correct amount of time and effort on pieces like Padmé's headdresses and a suit of alien military armor.
　　毛发及化妆部将向卢卡斯展示他们作的各种化妆试样的照片；星期一，海登·克里斯腾森要为他在EP3中的扮相做全化妆试验。在服装道具部，拍摄日期的迅速临近，使监督人伊沃·寇凡内能把工作计划做更好的区分排序。在知道了拍摄的第一个星期有什么样的需要后，伊沃·寇凡内得以在诸如帕德美的发型以及一套外星人的战斗盔甲之类的各个细节上合理安排时间和精力。

　　The Creature Department is one of the newest on the lot; since it was a fairly late decision to have a dedicated Creature Shop. As a result, they may not have as many new creations to display as other departments, but this week has produced a number of milestones.
　　生物部是摄影场最新设立的部门之一；因为很晚才决定设立这样一个专门的“生物商店”。因此，他们也许并没有其他部门那样多的新成果可以展示，不过这一周来，他们还是创造了不少重要作品。

　　Ewan McGregor was in the Creature Shop yesterday, and had a lifecast done of his head and hands. Since he couldn't shave off his beard, the lifecast had to include it, which doesn't translate very well. He was originally slated for a full body cast, but that plan changed. A suitable double was found for Ewan's body for that.
　　伊万·迈克格雷戈昨天在生物商店里，让工作人员对他的头部和手作了塑模。因为他不能把胡子剃掉，所以塑模连胡子一起作了进去，翻铸出来的塑像的胡子部分做得不是很好。最初伊万是要进行全身塑模的，不过计划改变。他们为伊万找到一个相配的替身来做这件事。

　　Creative Supervisor Dave Elsey spent much of today "shaving" the clay beard off the head-cast, reproducing a replica of a clean-shaven Obi-Wan to allow the Creature Shop to do their makeup work for an effect needed early in Episode III.
　　创作监督戴夫·艾尔塞今天花了几乎一整天的时间来为伊万的头部浇铸模型“刮胡子”，想重新制作一个没有胡子的奥比万的复制品，这样生物商店可以为EP3初期的一项特效进行所需的化妆工作。
