no more pictures of emile hirsch if i can help it at all

"If these photos are looking a bot more two-dimensional than usual, that's by design. The Wachowskis "wanted to incorporate some of the limitations of 60's cell animation into the movie," says Leo. Explains fellow effect supervisor Kim Liberi: "The backgrounds are mostly from photographic elements that have been shot from locations around the world [and then] intensely processed to be super-colorful and super-contrasty."

soundbytes along with more pics via Entertainment Weekly - where there are loads of Emile Hirsch-related pics (i've since decided to try and not post his image on this blog - becoz im beginning to really dislike his face - as catty as this may sound, the reason i suspect was he got to kiss Elisha Cuthbert ... hhhmmm) ... altho i may have even more reason to hate him becoz Christina-'Trixie'-Ricci looks purdy hawt here, innit? /// MORE PICS HERE

tis about the car lah:

with the Formula 1-hype on the rise in Singapore (happening 26-28 Sept), tis a small wonder why no one locally has piggybacked jumped-on the "Speed-Racer-hype" as yet (just hope that "they" could do it with taste and class - *cough*) ... or maybe they have but everybody's biding their time? hhmm.



"Do you remember the 1980s video game Outrun." asks Liberi, "with the palm trees flying past? A lot of the movie looks like that. But instead of using painted elements that they used the early days [of anime], there are actually photographic elements flying past the road." [via]



i can only deduce that the irritating streaky-lines are
meant to parallel "action-streaks" of the manga, yeh?



this one is for RAIN-fans :p
