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.
Hélène Giraud, co-director, and Mathilde Ferry, accessorist, are rushing to finalise the picnic cast for one of the film’s sequence. Items are tested one after the other on the tartan tablecloth… until the perfect arrangement is reached.
Hélène Giraud explains to us what part she plays and how closely Thomas and she work together to create and make the movie.

Back on the set…
The team had to shoot a tricky sequence: a bunch of flies crashes against a dandelion…
This sequence required plenty of care as the wind was having fun blowing the dandelion’s seeds
On the set, the dandelions were kept safe under a large umbrella and were the center of everyone’s attention…It took several attempts to get a beautiful seed explosion !
