''LazyTown'' ((アイスランド語:Latibær)) is an Icelandic educational musical children's television program with a cast and crew from Iceland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It was created by Magnús Scheving, a gymnastics champion and CEO of LazyTown Entertainment, who also stars in the show. Originally performed in English, the show has been dubbed into more than a dozen languages (including Icelandic) and aired in over 100 countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = LazyTown Entertainment ) 〕 Fifty-three episodes were produced from 2004 to 2007, for the first and second seasons. It originally aired on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. in the United States and CBeebies in the UK. Turner Broadcasting System Europe acquired LazyTown Entertainment in 2011 and commissioned a third season〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=C21Media )〕 consisting of 13 episodes, which premiered on 6 April 2013 in the United Kingdom on Cartoonito. A fourth season, also consisting of 13 episodes, premiered in the UK in 2014. It has generated spin-off projects including stage productions and a television program for younger children called ''LazyTown Extra''. ==TV production== ''LazyTown'' was created by Magnús Scheving, who also directed many of the TV program's episodes. The show is part live-action, part puppetry and part CGI animation. It was filmed and produced at 380 Studios, a purpose-built studio near Reykjavík equipped with high-end HDTV production facilities and one of the biggest green screens in the world. The production floor area is 1,800 square meters (almost 20,000 square feet).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=380 Studios – About Us )〕〔("Icelandic Eurovision song‘s video 'Is it true' filmed in the LazyTown studios" ). Lazytown.com. 18 May 2009. Retrieved 29 August 2010.〕 The budget for each episode was approximately ISK 70,000,000 (US$1 million), about five times the average cost for a children's television programme at the time, making it "the most expensive children's show in the world", according to Scheving.〔 Its virtual sets were generated with an Unreal Engine 3-based framework, created by Raymond P. Le Gué, known as XRGen4. According to Le Gué, "We start with the live actors and puppets on a physical set with a green screen behind them as a backdrop. The green screen is replaced in real time with the sets created in XRGen4 using UE3. As we move the camera and actors around the physical set, the backdrop scene also moves in real time in complete synchronization with the movements of the real camera. All of this is recorded, and the director can watch the resulting composition in real time."〔("Unreal Engine 3 Powers Critical and Commercial Success LazyTown" ). Unreal.com. Retrieved 8 February 2011.〕 Seasons 3 and 4 of ''LazyTown'' were filmed as usual in the LazyTown Studios in Iceland, but the special effects were created this time round by Turner Studios in Atlanta.〔(Season 3 Press Release ). Lazytownworld.com.〕 In most episodes, Stephanie, Sportacus, and Robbie are the only characters played by live actors. The rest of the characters are depicted as puppets, made by the Neal Scanlan Studio and Wit Puppets. Several episodes, including "Dancing Duel", "Little Sportacus" and "The Lazy Genie", extended the live cast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LazyTown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
