"The film excerpt chosen is from the bathroom scene in the movie Sin City. Specifically, we chose the master shot of the scene (the image submitted to the contest) for several reasons: First, the film meant something to the group and possessed that distinctive atmosphere, derived from the graphic novel, which motivated us all. Furthermore, the specific and imposing master shot we chose to submit was available on ShotDeck.
"The film, including this scene, had a unique characteristic: it was shot entirely on green screen with only the actors and a few props. The set, therefore, had never actually existed, and this was an opportunity to bring a piece of Sin City into the physical world (which led to a few surprises later on)."
ShotDeck annually awards prizes, including for Grand Prize, Runner-Up and Honorable Mention winners, across multiple categories, including Best Production Design, Most Difficult Lighting, Best Team Effort, Best Family Recreation, and Best Hair & Make-Up.
