Whatever you think of Speed Racer, the new alternate-reality VFX fest from the Wachowski Brothers directorial team, you'll have to admit that it doesn't look like anything you've seen before. From the digital backdrops behind every scene and the crazy, Nintendo-style racing environments to the smeared, saturated colors and shot transitions that use moving live-action elements as wipes, Speed Racer is clearly intended to tweak the nose of every big-budget action movie that's preceded it. To get the unusual look, the Wachowskis and director of photography David Tattersall turned to the brand-new Sony F23, the successor to the company's popular F950 HDCAM. F&V spoke to Rob Willox, director of the content creation group at Sony Electronics, for a little background. Watch the trailer, below. And look for more Speed Racer coverage, coming soon.
