Because the visual and light effects in Miller’s work cannot be achieved in reality, Rodriguez used similar techniques in "Very Little Spy", allowing the actors to stand against a green screen background and use the most advanced high-definition cameras. Framing. After that, the special effects department added the computer-generated comic pattern to the background.
The high-tech equipment and well-trained technicians needed for the filming gathered at the Troublemaker Studios established by Rodriguez in Austin, Texas. As early as the studio’s preparation stage, Rodriguez and Elizabeth Ai For the purpose of making waves in the film world, Furlong emphasizes an unfettered creative atmosphere.
Rodriguez said: "The production of "Sin City" at Troublemaker has an absolute advantage, where we can stay away from the traditional production system and find everything we need. Francis Ford Coppola once said that this was his dream Place, because artists in different fields can work together."
Benicio del Toro recalled: "At the very beginning, it felt strange, because everything was based on your own imagination. I had to take my attention away from the green screen and concentrate on The world in the film. Filming like this is very interesting, very special, and very fresh. The reason why I call Robert and Frank wizards is because they found a way to transform painting into special effects. They turned water into wine."
The original images of the film were all in color. Later, under the guidance of Rodriguez, the production staff removed the color and turned it into a pure black and white image, but the color can be returned to the screen at any time. Rodriguez used color as a weapon, and color became a powerful narrative tool. So the Gotti in the film has real skin tone and blonde hair, and the mustard yellow skin of the yellow hybrid is also very eye-catching. If Rodriguez wanted to highlight the pain of a character, he would return the blood to bright red, just like a close-up of the color.
Rodriguez found three special effects companies to produce background special effects for the film. Each company is responsible for a story. Among them, Hybrid Technologies is responsible for "The Hard Goodbye", Café FX is responsible for "The Big Fat Kill", and The Orphanage is responsible for "That Yellow Bastard" . Each story requires more than 600 special effects, and each company has done its best.
