TBA supplies props for Christmas film
Sat. April 18, 2009
This unusual Victorian sponge decorated jug, is now staring in the newly realeased “A Christmas Carol” by Walt Disney pictures. It was photographed along with other items of our stock and was used as a digital prop in two Christmas dinner scenes.
The film is written and directed by Robert Zemeckis, and stars Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge.
The 3-D film was produced through the process of performance capture, a technique Zemeckis has previously used in his films The Polar Express (2004) and Beowulf (2007).

Tim and Betsan Bowen live and work in the estuary village of Ferryside. Their location in the heart of West Wales allows them not only to live in a place they love, but also to have access to the best Welsh oak, country furniture and folk art.
They surround themselves in their own home with the furniture and folk art and they apply the same passion to their large gallery opposite their house, which is full of beautiful and interesting things, which offer the best of Welsh and British vernacular design.
The gallery and website are visited by collectors, decorators of their own homes and other peoples homes as well as those just looking for the perfect present. Their approach is relaxed and unstuffy and usually ensures that a visit is a pleasure you will want to repeat time and again.
