來自父親愛的禮物：3分鐘縮微女兒12年成長（視頻）

Capturing each moment of a child’s life is every proud parent’s goal. Moms and dads make photo albums, save pictures and videos on their computers at home, create scrapbooks. One father has found a unique way to show his kids’ growth over the years.

捕捉孩子生命中的每一刻是所有以孩子為傲的家長的共同目標(biāo)。爸爸媽媽們?yōu)楹⒆又谱飨鄡?cè)，在電腦里保存上孩子的照片和視頻，為孩子創(chuàng)作一些剪貼簿。而有這樣一位父親找到了一種獨(dú)特的方式來展示孩子的成長過程。

Frans Hofmeester is a filmmaker and photographer from the Netherlands. One of his latest projects is a time-lapse video of his daughter Lotte. Hofmeester said he noticed his daughter was changing so quickly from the day she was born on October 28, 1999. He wanted to capture each and every moment.

弗蘭斯·霍密斯特是荷蘭的一名制片人兼攝影師。他最近的作品是他女兒洛蒂的時(shí)光流逝視頻。霍密斯特說他注意到，女兒從出生的那天即1999年10月28日起，就變化地特別快。他想捕捉每一個(gè)精彩瞬間。

“I filmed Lotte every week,” said Hofmeester. “I felt the need to document the way she looked to keep my memories intact.”

“每周我都會(huì)為洛蒂拍攝視頻，”霍密斯特說。“我覺得要把女兒的成長瞬間都記錄下來，好讓我的記憶保持完整。”

His short film, gone viral, is titled “Lotte Time Lapse: Birth to 12 Years in 2 min, 45 sec.” It first features Lotte as a baby, lying in her crib on a white blanket, giggling and often looking around with curiosity. Each year of growth is marked by a number in the lower right corner of the video. As Lotte grows up the baby blanket changes to a white background. We see Lotte speaking, laughing, crying, and showing off different hairstyles.

他的這一短片命名為“洛蒂時(shí)光機(jī)：2分鐘45秒微縮從出生到12歲的成長過程”，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)在網(wǎng)上爆紅了。在影片的開始，嬰兒時(shí)代的洛蒂躺在嬰兒床的白毯子上，咯咯地笑，并好奇地到處亂瞅。在視頻的右下角處有數(shù)字標(biāo)明拍攝時(shí)間，就這樣記錄著她每一年的成長。隨著洛蒂慢慢長大，嬰兒毛毯也變成了白色布景。我們看著洛蒂說笑哭鬧，變換著不同的發(fā)型。

When Lotte was 3 years old her brother Vince was born. Hofmeester told ABC News he starting filming him too. “Sometimes they did not feel like doing it, so I began to ask them questions,” Hofmeester said. “That way I stalled them so I could complete each shot.”

在洛蒂三歲的時(shí)候，弟弟文斯誕生了?；裘芩固馗嬖VABC新聞網(wǎng)的記者，他也給文斯拍攝視頻了。“有時(shí)他們不愿配合，我就會(huì)問他們問題，”霍密斯特說。“通過這樣的方式來拖住他們，完成每一次拍攝。”

Hofmeester said he always had the feeling this was a special project, but he admits he didn’t expect the response he’s had. There have been more than 700,000 views on his Vimeo page. “I’m flabbergasted. This is overwhelming,” he said.

霍密斯特說他一直覺得這個(gè)作品非常特別，但是他承認(rèn)影片的反響確實(shí)大大出乎他的預(yù)料。在他Vimeo頁面上可以看到，有70萬人次觀看了這個(gè)短片。他說：“我太吃驚了，都有些不知所措了。”

In the meantime he continues to record his kids’ growth. “There will be a lot of changes in the coming years,” said Hofmeester. “And of course I will continue filming.”

與此同時(shí)，他會(huì)繼續(xù)記錄下孩子們的成長過程。“在接下來的幾年里，肯定會(huì)有很多變化的。” 霍密斯特說。“當(dāng)然了，我會(huì)繼續(xù)拍攝。”
