7 years ago Thomas Szabo directed a very unique short film, without dialogue and mixing computer-generated insects and real, non-animated landscape shots. After having discovered this film, French producer Philippe Delarue (Futurikon Films), immediately proposed to Thomas and to Hélène Giraud to develop a series of short programmes for TV and a theatrical feature film. This is Minuscule.A first then a second series of TV shorts were produced, earning critical and public acclaim worldwide. The film, which shares the same uniqueness but aims to be bigger and better, is going to need more time in the script writing and in the overall preparation. The shooting of the film, in 3D and cinemascope, starts today in the gorgeous settings of the South of France in the national parks of the Mercantour and the Ecrins. This is what this blog is all about.
In the world of the infinitely small, the size ratio is important. To respect the scale of the insects and help the director and his crew to film the frames, the set designer has designed some miniature figurines of the characters who will be digitally integrated afterwards. Ants in modeling clay walk through the set!

Discover the crew who work behind the scenes to make the film. Light is an essential component. It sets the tone, creates an atmosphere of a hot summer day or a dark night, enhances or reduces the contrasts.
A beautiful contrast between the models in the lights and the work in the shadow of technicians … A real game of shadow puppets, between light and shade!
