DLP Cinema Helps Enhance the Look of „Sin City“
Robert Rodriguez on the Colors of „Sin City“
DALLAS, March 17, 2005 – Texas Instruments (TI) DLP Cinema™ technology, the digital cinema projection technology deployed in movie theatres worldwide, assisted the directors and visual effects team of Miramax's and DIMENSION FILMS' „Sin City“ during post-production to achieve the desired comic-book feel of the movie. Directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller relied upon DLP Cinema™ projectors to ensure rich and consistent color in the movie. „Sin City“ hits theatres on April 1st. The hyper-realistic black and white, and desaturated colored look of „Sin City“ was achieved through the use of a DLP Cinema™ projector at EFILM, which operates the most advanced digital laboratory in the world. The entire movie was color corrected digitally with a DLP Cinema™ 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™ 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™ technology accurately reproduces a dynamic range of black levels and colors,“ said Doug Darrow, Business Manager for DLP Cinema™. „Since the entire movie was color corrected digitally, watching a DLP Cinema™ presentation of ‚Sin City‘ will give moviegoers the true visual interpretation of the movie.“
DLP Cinema™ projectors are currently in nearly 100 leading post-production facilities, test labs and screening rooms worldwide.
