The enigma of the collapse of Tauredunum finally found a definitive answer... The action takes place in Switzerland, at the edge of Geneva lake, in the year 563. Two chroniclers of the time, Marius of Avenches (Bishop of Lausanne) and Gregory of Tours (Bishop of Tours), described facts. But these authors did not have the same notions of time and space as we did, which gave rise to many speculations and questions about the place, the chronology of the facts and the number of victims.
With the help of an illustrated sequence (the second in the film), we highlighted these ancient facts. In a same time, we made 3D shots that support the circumstances of the drama in a meaningful way. Our work on such a project also required many exchanges between scientists and historians in order to accurately transcribe the historical facts while remaining close to the wishes of the director, Laurent Graenicher (www.laurent-graenicher.ch).
