What is the general feeling of the scene? This preparation makes for a more efficient shooting day when the actors arrive.” Robert Yeoman ASC, another Anderson regular, explains that he would set up each frame for the animatic using crew members as stand ins to block scenes. “I stopped counting at 125 different sets including miniatures. “The animatic certainly provides the blueprint but this one had so many different threads and stories and sets,” Stockhausen says. Here, we introduce places and 20 minutes later we’re done with that story, never to return,” Adam Stockhausen, production designer “Conventionally you introduce a set and keep going back to it over and over again. In The French Dispatch, some of the live action is in miniature context, some is in context of the location and some are full-scale set builds. If it’s a wide shot we’re working in one scale and if it’s a close up we have another scale, but always in stop motion and in the context of a miniature set.
