Esona sakhiwo sibalaseleyo eNew York siphila amaxesha ambalwa kuphela ngonyaka. Izibane ezinombala oqhelekileyo we-Empire State Building ziqala ukuhamba kuphela ngeholide okanye kwiminyhadala ekhethekileyo, ziba ngaphezulu kofakelo lobugcisa kunokukhanyisa nje isiqwenga sokwakha.
Oopopayi besakhiwo baqala kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, xa yayifakwe izibane ezintsha ze-LED. Ngelo xesha, uSihlalo we-Empire State Realty Trust, u-CEO, kunye noMongameli u-Anthony Malkin bathatha isigqibo sokuba ufuna ukwenza into eyahlukileyo ngesakhiwo.
Izibane kwisakhiwo ziyimoto, kwaye uMnumzana Malkin wayefuna umqhubi-okanye ubuncinci eso sisikweko uMarc Brickman, i-Empire State Building's designer designer, asisebenzisayo ukusichaza. Ngamashumi eminyaka yobuchule bokukhanyisa amatye kunye nokukhanya, wakhethwa ukuba azise ubungqingqwa obutsha kwisakhiwo esele siqaqambile.
Unyaka wesibini umboniso wokukhanya kweholide iqale kule mpelaveki –ukugqitywa ngo-Eva weKrisimesi ngentsimbi yesi-7 – kwaye busuku ngabunye uMnu. Inkqubo ye- Umjongi Uthethe nomyili wezikhanyiso owaziwayo ngefowuni ngaphambi komboniso ukuze ufunde okungakumbi ngendoda esemva kwezibane.
Ke uphele njani njengoMyili weSakhiwo sombuso we-Empire State?
Indlela endihlala ndifumana ngayo uninzi lwemisebenzi yam: yeyona nto ndingayilindelanga. Nditsalele umnxeba u-Ron Delsener, ongumgqugquzeli owaziwa kakhulu ngerock and roll eNew York, wathi uthethile noTony Malkin wabeka igama lam phambili- uTony wayekhangela into eyahlukileyo, akazange Ndifuna umyili wezibane zoyilo oqhelekileyo. Wayefuna into enomngcipheko omncinci, umda. Ndijoyine uluhlu lwam andazi ukuba bangaphi abantu, kwaye babuza ukuba ndiza kuthini xa ndifumana lo msebenzi? Ndicebise ukuba sisebenzise ividiyo ukulawula izibane-ngamanye amagama ukubekwa kwe-pixel-endaweni yokukhanya nokucima izibane. Ke ndinokuzisa inkqubo yolawulo eyamkela ividiyo [ivumela] izibane ukuba zivele. Iya kuba yinto engaphezulu kofakelo lobugcisa kunokuba icinyiwe, icinyiwe, ibomvu, luhlaza, luhlaza. Ndothukile ukuba akukho mntu wumbi, kwinto endiyivileyo, weza ngale ndlela.

Luhlobo luni lwezinto oziqwalaselayo xa uyila umboniso wokukhanya?
Xa ndandisengumntwana ePhilly, abazali bam babedla ngokundinyusela eNew York ukuze ndibone imiboniso kwiBroadway. Ndihlala ndikhumbula ukuqhuba kwindawo yokujika iJersey ndize ndiyibone ukude. Ndikhumbula ndisiya kwindawo yokugcina izinto kunye notata nomama. Ndicinga ukuba sesona sakhiwo sibalaseleyo emhlabeni, kuba bekusoloko kusengqondweni yomntu wonke ixesha elide kwaye ndicinga ukuba sinentsingiselo yokwenene kuye wonke umntu. Iingcamango ezininzi zangena kwimbali kwaye zikwazi ukuyihlonela ukuze ungayihlisi ilifa. Ukuyenza iphile nge-21stkwinkulungwane.
Kuba kukho imigaqo ethile kunye nemigaqo malunga nokuba yintoni enokwenziwa kunye nendlela ukukhanya okubonwa ngayo kwisakhiwo sembali, bekukho imiceli mngeni yokwenyani. Uninzi lwazo zonke yayikukuqhubeka nokuhlonipha imbeko yelifa, eyayisesinye sezinto ezisisiseko zoyilo kum. Ngenxa yokuba sisakhiwo esikhona yonke imihla, ayisiyiyo enye yemiboniso eqhubeka esixekweni. Ikho apho, ayiyi ndawo. Ihlala ixesha elide.
Ngaba uzilungiselela njani?
Konke kusekelwe kumculo. Simamela umculo kwaye emva koko siqale ukuqonda imibala yemibala esekwe kwisandi somculo kunye nesingqisho, iindlela zokucula. Kuqala sifumanisa imibala kunye neepateni kwaye zibaluleke ngantoni kwaye zithini ii-accents. Ke sisebenzisa umculo njengesikhokelo. Ke sinawo onke la majelo kwaye singena kwiziteshi kwaye sixelele zonke izibane ukuba zenzeni kwaye unamathele kwiziphumo zevidiyo. Siqala nje ukwakha iileya. Ifana nqwa nemaleko yeefotoshop apho uqala khona ukwakha izaleko kunye nezingqengqelo ezizizo zonke iindlela. Unecandelo lezinto kwaye uyirekhode leyo kwaye uye kwicandelo elilandelayo emva koko uzidibanise zonke kunye. Kufana nokuhlelwa kwevidiyo, ngokwenene.
Ndicinga ukuba sesona sakhiwo sibalaseleyo emhlabeni, kuba bekusoloko kusaziwa ngumntu wonke ixesha elide. Iingcamango ezininzi zangena kwimbali kwaye zikwazi ukuyihlonela ukuze ungayihlisi ilifa. |
Uphi ngelixa umboniso uqhubeka?
Ngamanye amaxesha ndiba kwisayithi. Amaxesha amaninzi, ndiyabazi abantu abambalwa abanophahla okanye ndihlala ehotele kufutshane kakhulu nesakhiwo, malunga neebhloko ezintandathu esinika umbono ogqibeleleyo. Kodwa ngamanye amaxesha ndiza kuhlala esakhiweni. Kunzima kakhulu ukuyenza kuba awuqinisekanga ukuba kwenzeka ntoni. Akukho zekhamera okanye esweni ukujonga okwenzekayo. Kukho umnumzana endisebenza naye, uDeitrich Juengling, kwaye ucofa onke amaqhosha. Ngokobuchwephesha umfo owenza ukuba yenzeke ngalo mzuzu. Senza kunye.
Ke awufumani ukwenza ukuziqhelanisa nokubaleka kwangaphambili?
Leyo yayiyeyona nxalenye ye-craziest yobusuku bokuqala esakha sayenza, xa bandixelelayo ukuba akuvumelekanga ukuziqhelanisa. Oko akuzange kwenzeke kum kuyo yonke le minyaka. Kodwa bathe hayi kuba zonke izikhululo zeendaba zalatha iikhamera zabo kwisakhiwo. Okokugqibela, bayekelela kubusuku obandulela uMbulelo [kwaye] bandinika umzuzu omnye kwi-fascia yasentshona yesakhiwo ukuze ndijonge ezinye izinto. Ndavunyelwa ukuba ndenze iimvavanyo zesibini zemizuzwana eli-10 kwaye yayiyiyo leyo. Kodwa kwakumnandi, kuba ngelixa sasiphahleni, ngequbuliso ndiva zonke ezi zigubu neempondo kunye namaqela kwaye siyaqonda ukuba ngaphantsi kwethu bebeqala ukwenza umboniso wosuku lweMacy Thanksgiving. Into esasiyenza yayingeyona imfihlo kangako emva kwayo yonke loo nto.
Uqale njani ebaleni kwasekuqaleni?
Xa ndandikwishumi elivisayo ePhiladelphia, ndandidla ngokuthengisa iirekhodi ezingama-45RPM ngeempelaveki ukuze ndenze imali ukuze ndikwazi ukuthatha amantombazana ngemihla. Bendihlala ndiyenza lento kuma fraternity and sororities nomhlobo wam, he was a DJ and he would do the DJing and I would build a light show. Yayiyindlela nje yokufumana imali nokudibana namantombazana kunye nokonwaba ngeempelaveki xa uneminyaka eli-15 okanye eli-16 ubudala endaweni yokujinga kwiindawo zokuthenga. Xa ndandineminyaka eli-19 ubudala, ndadibana noBruce Springsteen ngaphambi kokuba abe nguBruce Springsteen. Ndiqale ukusebenza noBruce kwiiklabhu zaseJersey, ePhiladelphia, eDelaware, eNew York. Kwaye ke ngokucacileyo siyalazi lonke elo bali. Ngenxa kaBruce-wayethatha kwaye ndandikho-ukukhanya kwam kwakusaziwa. Ndiqale ukudibana neqela lezinye izinto. Ndidibene noPinki uFloyd, banditsalela umnxeba kubusuku obungaphambi kokuba bavule iWall. Kwaye kwaqhubeka nje ukusuka apho. Khange ndikwazi ngokwenene ukuphefumla ukuthembeka kuwe. Luhlobo nje lwebhola ekhephu.
Le ncoko ihleliwe kwaye yagqitywa.
