For a variety of reasons, such as predator/prey situations or for scenes where the animal appears to be in a dangerous place, like a bear on a precarious log, the blue screen or split screen techniques are used. With the blue screen technique, animals are individually filmed against a blue background on a sound stage that may include a major prop element. During editing, this image is superimposed into the desired setting. Similarly, the animals, or animal and the animatronic double, or the animal and the human actor can be separately filmed in the same environment. During post-production, the two halves are seamlessly edited together to make it appear as if everyone was filmed together at the same time. This technique is called split screen.
