Sin City was all shot in colour. On set they were able to tweak lighting but pretty much kept it neutral so there was enough to play with in post. Once the plates were in their team started doing rough composites and turning them black and white getting the contrasts levels right, making sure the skin looked right and that the eyes didn’t get too dark. When it was starting out the look of the film was all graphic, almost no grey at all.
One of Frank Millers trademarks is his use of black and white, negative and positive images.
There’s a shot near the beginning of the film where 2 people are standing on a rooftop and the frame goes completely negative, what would normally be white is black, vice versa.
The challenge was to make the images work in a 3d environment where there's perspective, when you see things in 3d they change a little. Something very graphic that works in 2D panel can get confusing when moving. The start is contrast the black and white, trying to translate that too 3D and moving a camera through it. There was contained a lot of photorealism.
The scene where Jackie Boy and his ‘goon’s are killed in a comical sense, The blood isn’t red but glows white, making the scene more palatable for the audience
