不知你是否還記得前段時(shí)間我們推薦過(guò)的積木電影場(chǎng)景？（用樂(lè)高積木場(chǎng)景帶你回顧17部影史經(jīng)典電影?。┢渲胸S富的細(xì)節(jié)和高還原度讓我們印象深刻，所以酷玩潮小沙也特意聯(lián)系到這位年輕的粉絲設(shè)計(jì)師Patrick Higgins，和他進(jìn)行了一場(chǎng)關(guān)于積木的對(duì)話，了解他是如何設(shè)計(jì)出這么有趣的作品的。

今天我們就把這段對(duì)話分享出來(lái)給大家，你也可以在文章最后看到英文原版訪談。另外他的剩余部分電影場(chǎng)景作品的介紹我們也會(huì)在近期放出。

Patrick Higgins(ins ID: totallyawesome_me)，00后MOC作者，20歲，來(lái)自美國(guó)東南部的阿拉巴馬州。Patrick本科在讀，目標(biāo)是從事會(huì)計(jì)方面的工作。其作品《Pieces of Cinema》是酷玩潮選中介紹的系列作品。

1. 你對(duì)樂(lè)高的興趣是如何及何時(shí)產(chǎn)生的？

我一直對(duì)樂(lè)高建筑感興趣。我5歲的時(shí)候得到了我的第一套樂(lè)高玩具，從此就迷上了。

2. 你平時(shí)都有什么愛(ài)好？你有沒(méi)有創(chuàng)作過(guò)讓你特別自豪的樂(lè)高M(jìn)OC作品？

樂(lè)高就是我的業(yè)余愛(ài)好，但我也喜歡和朋友玩游戲。我創(chuàng)造了幾個(gè)我引以為豪的MOC，比如《電影碎片》和《阿卡姆瘋?cè)嗽骸废盗小?br/>

這件《阿卡姆瘋?cè)嗽骸肥荘atrick在16歲是拼的，用了七個(gè)月6萬(wàn)塊積木完成

3. 樂(lè)高現(xiàn)在是如何融入你的日常生活的？是作為全職主業(yè)嗎？

只要有時(shí)間，我就用樂(lè)高搭建新東西。大學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)和其他雜事常常占據(jù)了我所有的時(shí)間，但我總是喜歡從這一切中抽出時(shí)間，拼搭一些新的東西。

4.?你最喜歡的樂(lè)高主題及官方套裝是什么？為什么？

我最喜歡的樂(lè)高套裝是2006年的原版蝙蝠翼（注釋：7782 LEGO Batman The Batwing The Joker's Aerial Assault 蝙蝠翼vs喬克兒）。這是我的第一套作品，至今我還保留著它。（注釋：小哥的ins頭像就是蝙蝠俠，這可真的是從小的蝙蝠俠粉絲啊）

5. 你喜歡的樂(lè)高雜志或者媒體/網(wǎng)站有哪些？

我曾多次參加過(guò)Brickfair活動(dòng)。這是一個(gè)很棒的展覽，我和其他許多創(chuàng)作者都可以在那里展示我們的工作成果。（注釋：詳見(jiàn)小沙的主題報(bào)道）

6. 有沒(méi)有哪位是你印象最深或者最喜歡的設(shè)計(jì)師？（官方樂(lè)高設(shè)計(jì)師或粉絲設(shè)計(jì)師）為什么？

樂(lè)高社區(qū)的一個(gè)好朋友是Martin Harris（@bricksnaps），他是一個(gè)非常優(yōu)秀的積木建造師。（注釋：bricksnaps是真大神，創(chuàng)造了超級(jí)多的大場(chǎng)景系列，比如兩米多高的長(zhǎng)發(fā)七公主城堡，馬里奧游戲的公主城堡，和哈利波特系列的魁地奇球場(chǎng)）

7. 你在制作電影場(chǎng)景系列模型時(shí)遇到了什么特別的挑戰(zhàn)？最難再現(xiàn)的部分是什么？

《電影碎片》的每一個(gè)單獨(dú)的作品都有獨(dú)特的的挑戰(zhàn)。有時(shí)最難的部分是選擇哪一個(gè)特定的場(chǎng)景來(lái)重現(xiàn)，有時(shí)找到合適的零件是最具挑戰(zhàn)性的，有時(shí)尋找靈感是最困難的部分。

8. 你大約用了多少塊樂(lè)高積木來(lái)制作你的模型，零件都是怎么采購(gòu)的？

我估計(jì)在每個(gè)電影場(chǎng)景模型中使用的零件在300到400之間。每當(dāng)我需要零件時(shí)，我都會(huì)去Bricklink，一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的在線樂(lè)高銷售網(wǎng)站。

9. 如果你用數(shù)字方式建立模型，你用什么軟件來(lái)建立和渲染你的模型？

我自己沒(méi)有用任何軟件來(lái)設(shè)計(jì)模型，但許多設(shè)計(jì)師會(huì)使用一個(gè)叫stud.io的程序，這是一個(gè)免費(fèi)的樂(lè)高設(shè)計(jì)程序。

10. 如果你在設(shè)計(jì)中使用了定制的貼紙或印刷品，你是如何創(chuàng)建它們的，或者你從哪里得到它們？

我在《電影碎片》中只用過(guò)一張定制的貼紙，它被用在我的侏羅紀(jì)公園模型上。實(shí)際上是我媽媽用她的手工技能為我做的。（注釋：侏羅紀(jì)公園場(chǎng)景的恐龍和人仔來(lái)自Patrick的弟弟，真是團(tuán)結(jié)友愛(ài)的一家）

11. 如果你能在開(kāi)始這個(gè)項(xiàng)目之前和自己對(duì)話，你會(huì)告訴他什么？什么是你希望自己當(dāng)時(shí)知道的？

我會(huì)告訴自己要提前做計(jì)劃，開(kāi)始前就把想要覆蓋的所有電影先列出來(lái)。

12. 你是否有計(jì)劃在未來(lái)創(chuàng)作其他作品？如果有，你能給我們一個(gè)提示，那可能是什么？

我的下一個(gè)作品實(shí)際上是一個(gè)相當(dāng)大的作品，同時(shí)我一直在對(duì)它進(jìn)行保密。關(guān)于它，我可以透露的是，跟華特迪士尼世界的一個(gè)游樂(lè)項(xiàng)目有關(guān)。

13. 有沒(méi)有讓你印象比較深刻的中國(guó)MOC設(shè)計(jì)師以及作品？

我看到的大多數(shù)作品都來(lái)自Brickfair等展會(huì)和Instagram上。不幸的是，Brickfair并沒(méi)有吸引很多國(guó)際玩家，所以我從未有幸見(jiàn)過(guò)任何一個(gè)。不過(guò)我知道有很多有才華的設(shè)計(jì)師和模型師，我總是非常喜歡看他們的作品和想法。

14. 你對(duì)中國(guó)的MOC社區(qū)有什么期待或者想說(shuō)的話么？

我想跟中國(guó)朋友說(shuō)的是：要有創(chuàng)造力! 建造你喜歡的東西，然后與世界分享這些作品。

英文版

1.?How and when did you get interest in Lego and brick creation?
I’ve always been interested in Lego building. I got my first Lego set when I was 5 years old and have been hooked since.

2.?What hobbies do you have in your spare time? Have you ever created a LEGO MOC piece that you are particularly proud of?
I’d say that Lego is my spare time hobby, but I also enjoy playing games with friends. I have created several MOCs that I am proud of, such as the Pieces of Cinema and Arkham Asylum.

3.?How does LEGO fit into your daily life now? Is it as a full-time main job?

I build new things with Lego whenever I have time. College and other responsibilities often take up all of my time, but I always enjoy taking a break from it all and building something new.

4.?What is your favorite LEGO theme and official set? Why?
My favorite Lego set is the original Batwing from 2006. It was my first set ever and I still have it today.

5.?What is your favorite brick media or event? Why?

I’ve been to an event called Brickfair several times. It’s an awesome exhibition where myself and many other creators get to display what we’ve been working on.

6.?Who is the most impressed MOCer in your mind (Official LEGO designer or fan designer)? Why?
One of my good friends in the Lego community is Martin Harris (@bricksnaps) and he is an excellent builder.

7.?What is the biggest challenge you have to create the piece of cinema? Is there any part difficult to recreate?
Each individual Piece of Cinema presents its own challenges. Sometimes the hardest part is selecting one specific scene to recreate. Sometimes finding the right parts is the most challenging. Sometimes finding inspiration is the hardest part.

8.?How many pieces of brick have you used for average of the series? What are your purchasing approaches for these bricks?
I have no idea how many parts I’ve used in pieces of cinema. Whenever I need parts I go to Bricklink, an excellent online Lego selling website.
-?One more follow up question about the 8th, this question just ask the general piece number range of this series. Could you please estimate a range for me?
-?Per build, I’d estimate about 300-400 parts

9.?What software do you use for designing the digit models before building them up physically?
I personally don’t use any software to design my models, but many builders use a program called stud.io, a free lego designer program.

10.?In your physical implementation of the models, how do you get your customized sticker or printed brick?
I have only ever used one custom sticker in Pieces of Cinema, and it is found on my Jurassic Park build. My mother actually made it for me using her crafting skills.

11.?If you could talk to yourself before starting the piece of cinema project, what would you tell him? What do you wish you had known?

I’d tell myself to plan ahead and have the full list of movies I wanted to include before I started.

12.?Do you have plans to create other works in the future? If so, can you give us a hint as to what that might be?

My next build is actually a pretty big one, and also one I’ve been keeping pretty secret. One thing I can say about it is that it is a recreation of a ride at Walt Disney World

13.?Are there any Chinese MOC designers and works that impress you? Is there any specific theme or topic of brick you would like to see from Chinese or other cultures?
Most of the MOCs I see are from shows like Brickfair and here on Instagram. Unfortunately Brickfair doesn’t attract many international builders, so I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting any. However I know that there are so many talented builders out there and I always love seeing their work.

14.?What would you like to tell our readers in the Chinese AFOL communities?
Be creative! Build the things you enjoy, and then share those creations with the world!
