Sanctuary's world of Abnormals and spectacular gadgetry is unlike anything seen before, and it takes some pretty fancy effects footwork to bring it to life. Read on to learn about the ways in which the people behind the show make the adventures of Doctor Helen Magnus a feast for your eyes.
Going Green Green-screen video production marries camera hardware with computer software. Virtually everything you see in many Sanctuary scenes - besides the actors - is "projected" onto green screens on set by computers during post-production.

CGI CGI gives Sanctuary its atmosphere and scares. Amanda and her co-stars are often reacting to points in space that later are populated with monsters, castles and animals.

Notes[]

Trivia: The Syfy.com website has been updated and rebranded since the end of the TV series. Though the cancellation of Sanctuary was announced on May 21^st, 2012, the website continued to display Sanctuary content until at least two years later into mid-2014. During phasing out, the URLs were turned into hidden pages on the website itself, yet still accessible through old browser bookmarks. At some point not too long later, all Sanctuary content was completely removed/deleted.
- Trivia: Obsolete Syfy.com Sanctuary content can still be partially viewed through use of an internet archive website called the Wayback Machine, which records and stores snapshots of website pages for historical preservation purposes.
Trivia: Aside from Sanctuary, other Syfy TV series include: "Stargate SG-1", "Stargate Atlantis", "Stargate Universe", "Battlestar Galactica", and "Eureka".
