Sanctuary

Discontinuity : Strictly speaking, the eyewitness identification in the police station did not follow proper U.S. lineup procedure. The Russian woman was only shown a single man and asked whether he was the killer. In the U.S., the police must present multiple individuals from which the potential witness identifies a suspect. To limit a lineup to just one person (suspect) would be considered a violation of the individual's constitutional right to due process.

There were 3.7 million views/downloads of Sanctuary when it debuted on the web as webisodes. Around 80 crew members work on Sanctuary. It takes almost 4 months for a Sanctuary episode to be finished, from shooting to post-production (although several are worked on at once). It takes approximately 4 to 5 hours for an actor in the prosthetics make-up chair to emerge as one of the creatures of Sanctuary - and it then takes 2 more to take the make-up/prosthetics off.

Although ostensibly "filmed" in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Sanctuary is shot almost exclusively using the "green screen" technique - meaning that, unlike most television shows, elaborate sets are unnecessary. Instead, the backdrops for scenes are created using CGI technology. It is also the first North American television series to use the RED camera exclusively - a digital technology capable of capturing images with four times the resolution of a High Definition camera. Because of this new way shooting, the Sanctuary production team executed over 480 visual effects shots - compared to only 12 for an average Stargate SG-1 episode. The opening shot alone took three months for Lee Wilson's special effects team to complete.
