Brad Pitt’s ‘F1’ Movie Required a Custom-Made Sony Camera to Film High-Octane Racing Scenes
'F1' cinematographer Claudio Miranda describes how a custom Sony camera was developed to create high-octane shots of Brad Pitt in the upcoming film.
Claudio Miranda, the Oscar-winning cinematographer who is shooting Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming “ F1,” worked with Sony Electronics to develop a custom camera to film high-speed shots of Brad Pitt, Damson Idris and additional cast members and stunt drivers on Formula One racetracks. To put a camera in a race car with Brad Pitt, who plays Formula One driven Sonny Hayes and was also a producer on the movie, this needed to be even more compact. Miranda spoke with Variety during Sony’s recent Kando Trip at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, a sort of high-level customer retreat where industry players are invited to try out Sony gear while the company conducts focus groups and conversations in order to generate customer input for future product research and development.
