The hyper-realistic black and white, and desaturated colored look of "Sin City" was achieved through the use of a DLP Cinema(TM) projector at EFILM, which operates the most advanced digital laboratory in the world. The entire movie was color corrected digitally with a DLP Cinema(TM) projector, where color was digitally manipulated for both film and digital projection.
"With a one-to-one ratio to what is done and what is projected, changes can be viewed immediately rather than waiting for days from the traditional photochemical film-based process of color timing," said Robert Rodriguez, director, "Sin City." "The DLP Cinema(TM) projector was key as both a valuable timesaver and creative tool in the digital workflow."
"'Sin City' is a visually inventive movie from directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, and a great indicator of how DLP Cinema(TM) technology accurately reproduces a dynamic range of black levels and colors," said Doug Darrow, Business Manager for DLP Cinema(TM). "Since the entire movie was color corrected digitally, watching a DLP Cinema(TM) presentation of 'Sin City' will give moviegoers the true visual interpretation of the movie."
DLP Cinema(TM) projectors are currently in nearly 100 leading post-production facilities, test labs and screening rooms worldwide.
