Abstract
Sony Pictures Imageworks was one of a few, select studios contributing to the ground-breaking VFX of Speed Racer. Led by Senior Visual Effects Supervisor Kevin Mack, Imageworks completed three exhilarating racing sequences: Desert Flats, Mountain Rally, and Mountain Switchback. In Desert Flats, Imageworks' Marco Marenghi and his animation team added a sense of weight and realistic speed to all the elaborate cars and their exotic drivers. Patrick Witting's complex fluid-dust simulations and Theo Vandernoot's rigid-body simulations of debris and dirt further enhanced the realistic motion of the sequence. Imageworks' skilled lighters and compositors combined all the layers of these particular shots, ensuring the consistency of the pop-art/saturated look that Warner Bros. Visual Effects Supervisors John Gaeta and Dan Glass had envisioned from the beginning.
