While the actual Nissan R35 GT-R NISMO from ‘Gran Turismo’ is being auctioned off, here’s a closer look at the Sony VENICE 2 camera they used to film many of the scenes. What you don’t see in the film is the VENICE Extension System, nicknamed “Rialto”, which is essentially an accessory that allows camera operators to separate the image sensor block from the body by up to 18 feet through a cable connection.
This means that camera operators can work with a smaller form factor, resulting in more flexibility when moving the camera in different ways, while also better utilizing gimbals, and placing them in small spaces (for example, tight shots of drivers). When you pair the VENICE 2 with Sony’s 8.6K (8640 x 5760) full-frame CMOS image sensor, the camera offers excellent image quality with 16 stops of total latitude to capture dazzling images with excellent color separation and shadow detail.

The original VENICE Rialto System has been such a great resource to give me added flexibility for feature films. On Top Gun: Maverick, the small form factor of three VENICE Extension System, paired with three cameras, allowed us to place 6 VENICE cameras, in the cockpit of an F-18 fighter jet to capture the excitement of flying in-camera. The extension system has given me the flexibility to be as creative as I want to be,” said Claudio Miranda ASC, Oscar award-winning cinematographer.
