This article considers the science fiction series Sanctuary (2008-11) as a paradigm for new genre fiction methodologies in both production methods and aesthetics. This series was first presented as a series of short webisodes in order to gauge public interest in the subject material as well as production techniques. It relies heavily upon a combination of green screen technology and CGI sets. The contemporary special effects technology is placed in historical context through a comparison with the use of optical printers. The article discusses new developments in acting techniques designed to compensate for green screen sets. Sanctuary's Steampunk aesthetics are also considered in relation to its reliance upon computerised special effects
