Rodriguez proves that there's nothing wrong with digital effects if they're used by the right people in the right way.

The fact that none of the actors ever filmed their scenes together at the same time on set is absolutely mind-blowing 🤯🤯🤯

This guy was a decade ahead of the rest of hollywood

This man is a treasure. So many gems from this video and his book "Rebel Without A Crew."

What a beautiful, creative work of art! Can't believe most of it was filmed with green screen.

I had no idea that such a great movie was made with such limited means. Rodriguez is a genius.

I just love Marv. The guy you call when you absolutely, positively need the bad guy to suffer before they die.

It's crazy that I found this video after so many years. In high school I based my art style after Frank miller's sin city, so alot ofthe observations Rob made in order to replicate in his effects were ones I'm super familiar with, like the tyle grout that was whitening the shadows but black in the light (one of my art pieces had a brick wall that used this effect). I wish I'd found this video when I was working on those paintings cause I may have been able to come up with more ideas from it

What I like Most about Robert Rodriguez & Director Christopher Nolan is how well methodical both are in terms of the skill and techniques they both deploy into making movies 🎥 and always getting around the impossible. Robert carefully incorporates his methods well and knows how to keep it going under low budget estimate. Nolan on the other hand is very physical as he lessens using any form of CGI in his films unless need be. Many overlook or don't realise the specialty of these crafts and magic until it's behind the scenes time, outstanding 👏

One of my fav movies of all time yes sir!

this film blew my mind to smithereens as a kid. to this day, i've never seen anything quite like it.

Rodriguez is such an amazing professional behind the camera. With skills like that it's amazing he only has like three good movies.

One of my all time favorite movies

Wow this was inspiring and also mindblowing. Robert Rodriguez might have just worked his way into my favorite directors.

Now that's movie making

Robert Rodriguez is a genius!

Just started editing and realization. Glad you shared your vision and how you have translated into a superb movie. Most important to everyone who wants to start is your massage at the end: "Everything is there. Software. (Smartphone-) Cameras. It's just a question of creativity. Appreciation. Many thanks from a rookie 😎 🔥 🎬 💯

Sin City is excellent and this was a great insight. I didn't even know you could watch the full green screen version.

One of the best films ever made because of the style. I love it.

Every second of this video is mind-blowing. 💜

No matter how many times I watch this, it still amazes me how he utilizes the green screen. There is almost nothing there and he made the movie out of almost nothing. Actors against green. It really gives all of us no excuse. I’m learning blender (3D), writing, and 2D animation now and hope to make some cool sh*t on other channels. Man. It’s beautiful stuff that he makes.

Awesome video. Thank you.

One of the best movies ever made

Pure talent, that's amazing, this movie is amazing. I love it

I❤ this film so much

Amazing!

11:40 Such an amazing part to end video on, incredible film and video loved it.

summary : those two actors never met each other

so cool

I was curious how they did the blood splattering on Miho's face, I thought she just somehow was able to learn not flinch and actually did not blink for that scene

"He loved his material, and I loved his material" => this is how adaptations should be done. All his technical craft is awesome, but if his heart was in "one upping" Frank, or robbing his comic for material to use in his story, or in making his own movie but tapping comics fanbase it would all be for naught.

Bloody Hell it was a faithful adaptation and a masterpiece before but now...

This film and the second part is the favourite movie and the best because its real.....

This is genius! We saw masterpiece it birthed.

Dope

if you haven't seen this movie, then I have no words for you.

Has anyone seen any good homages to what they did on the Sin City films, I can't say i've seen anything no budget low budget that even comes close, i am definitely gonna try some tests very soon for a different concept but very much would like this look! i've loved it since they did it, i wish there were more tutorials on the whole process

Has anyone asked about the make of the green screens used here? The large wall junts plus the seemingly sheet version used to drape over things. Any clue would be appreciated!

Sin City is super epic movie

Wow 🤩

Say what you want about Rodriguez's remorseless creative freedom, you can't deny that it worked in his advantage big time in this case

If Brian heard the way he pronounces the “wh”

6:23 Is that a young Nathan Fillion?!

My fav part is the ringing phone at 11:28

👍

@5:57 , Dam? Thats one scary smurf

WOW.......DGA trying to control how you film. Thats the almost the same when they told Alejandro Jodorowsky he needed a license to film. Can someone explain this DGA rediculousness?

Cellular fall 129

The way this movie was made is a MASTERPIECE 👌🏼😗🤌🏻

I Love Movies but im 0 into actors stars etc. and to this day i didnt realise Kevin is played by frodo…. Omg

Greenscreen City

Always thought Johnny depp would be a good fit in sin city

Away with hyperrealism! CGI needs art direction.

The only bad thing ; they didt make a thirt movie....

Contrast black and whote would be vool

It's a damn shame that most movies, tv shows and games today are all about politics, activism and propaganda under the disguise of beloved franchise or intellectual properties.

As amazing as the final product was, this must have been a horrible experience for the actors.

Rup frank miller

Philly sploogy mess

this guy knows how to manage a movie on tight budget.

People give Robert Rodriguez shit, but this film was so well realized. Top marks.

"Becoming my own production designer" Rodriguez will always have my respect for being a one-man crew. He does so much on his own it's insane.

This movie should have gotten three Oscar nominations: Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Actor for Mickey Rourke.

The actors never met? Lmao, great chemistry between the characters under these kind of circumstances

This movie deserved way more cred 👏

I feel more connected with this movie than I ever did now seeing the work behind the scenes. I would have NEVER guessed some of the actors and actresses never met. 💯💯 #Respect

elija wood looks like an evil harry potter ^^

Wow, this is effin crazy.

This is a masterpiece..

This is one of the greatest graphic novel adaptation ever existing. Marvel movies may be big but not so true to source material as sin city, both graphicly and in story. This is what "big names" in industry should learn from Mr.Rodriguez

The most inspiring breakdown ive seen, enjoyed just as mush as the film it self.

now this is the first thing ive seen thats accually valuable information in the film world ive ever seen

This movie is a complete masterpiece..

like the BTS of the The Dark Knight, watching these BTS and how they make things done, makes the film more interesting.

I LOVE YOU ROBERT RODRIGUEZ!!!!

It must of been hard for Elijah Wood not to laugh in some of these scenes

marv is the true badass hero

All I can say is FREAKING WOW WOW WOW !!!!!

Bought the first comic a few days ago, cant wait to read it

Thank you for uploading this!

Thank you for sharing Robert....great work man!

Man this is one of the coolest videos ever. Robert Rodriguez is so fucking legit.

SO INSIGHTFUL!

thank you for uploading this

Pretty amazing.

wow thank you Robert

Man this is such a cool idea. Works a lot better than the Star Wars prequels did

Good director

Brilliant.

GREAT MOVIE...

Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba never met either. Robert took her place and wore a wig during the kissing and dancing scenes.

Carla Gugino is so hot holdin that gun! Laaawd have mercy

So cool

6:06 was horrifying and cute at the same time.

This is how I'd rate the hero's and their stories 1.Marv 2.John 3.Dwight

if you could upload the shining behind the scenes shit that would be amazing

Wow so beautiful

I love the ART style,Good Job,:)

I'm writing a noir movie similar to sin city but with a lot less supporting characters and if I can get to troublemaker studios I would ask Robert if I could use the green screens for my film

Omg
