Blue screen techniques were used by the team behind the Corpse's Bride, and the models for this film wer made by Mackinnon and Saunders. Blue screen techniques will be used in the making of the aniamtion for which we are making theis locomotive in order that all the various components can be put together in to one film (our train ,the station, the characters etc.)
