Speed Racer's Visual FX Uncovered

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hey-shannon-this-better-not-suck dept.

Marco Trezzini writes "View exclusive interactive samples of the digital building blocks behind the Speed Racer movie in VRMag's in-depth interviews with award-winning Matrix visual FX guru John Gaeta, Dennis Martin, Lubo Hristov, and Jake Morrison. Including Virtual Reality panoramas of the movie locations, turn tables of the mach 5 and 6, and many making of videos unveiling the secrets of the visual effects. Link to 'Speed Racer uncovered' and to John Gaeta's interview." The first time I saw the trailer for this movie, my jaw hit the floor. Nobody makes live action "Cartoons" that look like this. I guess that makes me believe there is no way the movie can be good.

    Granted it was only a trailer, but it looked like a Uwe Boll production trying to channel Jerry Bruckheimer's style. Badly. If they added that movie announcer Don LaFontaine, it would complete the meme.

    Then again, my parents preferred we grow up with brains and critical faculties intact, than let TV mould us into good little spenders.

    Of course I remember Astroboy though. You can bet the Yanks don't have a taste for that.

    I suggest you dig up some uncensored versions of Speed Racer...IE the original Japanese versions. Quite a different show.

    what, do they show Trixie's boobs and bush? does she slob knob? munch rug with Mom Racer?
