I have to see it. It's what got me into my other obsession.

I don't know about that movie.  I'll withold judgment until I see a little more.  I like the wachowski bros. so there is hope.

I like the title sequence to the original version of Speed Racer, Mach Go Go Go. I wonder if that version is available on dvd?

Yeah, I picked it up last year for a young relative.

Thanks but I was referring to the original version, not the Americanized version we grew up with, similar to ADV's recently completed release of the whole run of Gatchaman with not cuts, using the original character names, and no 7-Zark-7.

Uhh….

Believe it or not depth of field blurring is an INTENTIONAL camera effect, as with some digital cameras it's possible to have both the background and character in focus.  Depth of field blurring is used to make the actors POP out on the screen, which is why you see it in movies so much.  So, not sure what they'd be accomplishing with that technology, and considering most of what's on that trailer is all special effects, I doubt the depth of field technology would be much use to them.

According to what I read, it was to enhance the "anime come to life" feel. In a cartoon, everything is in focus, you see detail no matter where it is in frame or how far it's supposed to be, unless the animator purposely blurs it.

Right, but what I'm telling you is that they already have cameras that do that.  Most likely the article simply mentions that they will make sure that everything is completely in focus on screen so that it mimics animation.  But it's not a new camera technology, it's most likely simply a technique to make it the way you described.
