Sin City is a revelation, and is as inspirational as The Matrix. Digit spoke to CaféFX about its unique visual style and the challenge of greenscreen.

It’s this year’s Matrix – an eye-popping visual feast that was handed to US-based CaféFX to help create. </p> <p> Sin City was daunting from the off. The movie – which is divided into three segments – was shot entirely on greenscreen, with Rodriguez demanding B&W treatment and styling in tune with the graphic novels. </p> <p> It meant CaféFX had to build a virtual Sin City from the ground up for their 45-minute segment. </p> <p> <div class=inlineimage><img src= Print
