Microcosmos is a nature film created by Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou and released in 1996. Using "macrovision," and extremely complex cameras, the world of insects and plants is brought to the viewer in extremely close detail for 84 minutes. After fifteen years of research, two years of equipment design, and three years of filming, Nuridsany and Pérennou were able to entrance audiences with fantastic clips of all sorts of flora and fauna.
Through the use of close-ups, slow motion, and time-lapse photography, I was continually mesmerized throughout the entire film. The creators made the film so fascinating by making the real world seem unreal. I was constantly reminding myself that every shot in the entire project was actually a captured moment in time. The almost alien-like planet that we see in this film, is unbelievably a documentation of actions and events that occur daily, even hourly, in the space beneath our feet.
