Turns out there's so much to say about the production of Sin City that I couldn't fit it all into one video. Last time I talked about how director Robert Rodriguez convinced Sin City creator Frank Miller to co-direct the movie with him, and what the impact of that collaboration was on Sin City's dedication to capturing the art and style of the originals graphic novels. This time I'll be looking at how Rodriguez utilized green screen and other digital technology to make that classic Sin City art possible.

One thing I wasn’t able to mention in the video that’s really neat:about the effects work on Sin City: each of the three main stories that make up the movie were done by a different VFX house. And so each has a slightly different visual identity, the final story (with Bruce Willis) being the most stark for example, with some of the most extreme shots of chiaroscuro. -Danny

This is the exact opposite of Ian Mckellan crying during production of the hobbits because he was acting on set alone on a green screen. That warmth is still felt despite how artificial everything looks.

@Elriuhilu 10 ай бұрын

I think the difference is that in The Hobbit the characters interact in a more natural, realistic, empathetic way, which is much more convincingly performed by the actors when they can put themselves into the emotional vibe of the scene. It's much easier to get into a specific emotional mindset if you are surrounded by things that help make it feel more real, like realistic set dressing and other actors who reinforce your emotional vibes with their own. In Sin City all of the characters are super intense and hyper-real to the point that they aren't normal people with naturalistic reactions, but living embodiments of character traits with appropriately styled behaviours. They don't have "real" emotions, only the ones that advertise their listed traits, so the emotional vibe the actors need to get into is not a true reflection of reality and is thus not as affected by the lack of grounding that real sets and scene partners provide.

@poodlemeister22314 10 ай бұрын

To follow up on this, just watching some of the behind the scenes shots, it feels much more like stage acting, rather than film acting, and then switching to film acting for the closeups. I refer to stage acting as a sort of "blown up" more exaggerated style that can be seen from the back row of a theater. In this case, it lends itself super well to a comic book style which is already over the top and I'm sure the directors on this leaned heavily into that. What sucked for Ian McKellan (and I get it, even though I'm well versed in black box theater, improv, etc) is that you're trying to create much more nuance and honest and authentic characters and you have nothing tangible to react to. At least with the way Sin City was filmed, you could be on the set of "Our Town" and get those kinds of performances Edit: 7:42 the mention of playhouse theatre, that makes perfect sense@@Elriuhilu

He wasn't "crying" and he did have a point especially about the hobbit.

He knew that the Hobbit was a slap job soulless cash grab in comparison to the original work and be knew the money was there, the talent was there, the effort and focus could be there... But the studios rushed it out as quickly as possible. There's NOTHING soulless or cash grabby about sin city and I don't really see how that movie turning out as good as it does correlates to how Sir Ian McKellen's comments on the Hobbit.. js

SIn City was a uniquely blessed movie - it had a bunch of very experienced and talented actors combined with an art style that made green screen not only viable but desirable, and a director who is something of a one man band, making it easier for him to shoot out of sequence and allow all these (expensive and busy) actors to be able to come in only for a few days without it feeling off or weird. Can't be done for every movie but it worked out so well for this one.

I've always respected Rodriguez for pushing the boundaries of feature movies shot digitally, and his disdain for the dogma of Hollywood film making. The industry might say that a movie like Sin City is impossible, but Rodriguez and his friends not only make it, but they make it faster, cheaper, and with more artistic integrity then anyone thought possible. His digital studio (aka his home) in Texas is an absolute marvel in efficient workflow and innovation. His Protools/Avid workstation is insane. Look it up if you want to see magic happen at warp speed.

I think a large reason for it working well is how the movie was stylized to be a "comic book movie", to proudly present itself as "unreal", therefore the uncanny-ness of it all was not only accepted, but expected. Not only that, Sin City itself is a character, almost an antagonist in a way because of it's corrupt nature, and you wouldn't be able to feel that "character" as much if it was a set, much less if it was shot in like Detroit or something

I'm taking a master's in English, and your channel has actually helped in making me consider whether I want to write my thesis on adaptation. The problem is obviously that I know you have to be very certain before you start writing a thesis about something you're a fan of, because by the end you may end up hating it.

Amazing green screen work by Miller! Sin City was a masterpiece and I never knew they would green screen 90% of the movie. Green Screen and Virtual Production has made filming much easier and faster now because you can control a lot of the environment that you couldn't have before.

I don't think I've watched this since I've owned an OLED TV, I'm changing that today. Great video as always!

My best friend and I saw this at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. Seeing this in a 75 year old "movie palace" with such history made this even more special.
