The Discarded - 35mm short

Uli Meyer · April 1, 2023

Last year I thought it might be fun to make a short piece that can be filmed with little expense and includes a bit of Roger Rabbit style animation. Something my kids can remember me by. My background is in animation where I specialised in combining Live Action and hand-drawn animation. We shot the live action at my building over a weekend with a small talented crew. But then it took me forever to add the animation due to ongoing daytime commitments. With the help of some of my animation friends it is now finished, phew! I am so very lucky to know so many industry professionals who are willing to lend their talents to the smallest of projects. But who knows, maybe there is a longer story to be told...

Shot on my Arricam LT 3perf, Cooke S4, Zeiss LWZ.2, Zeiss CP.3 Kodak Vision 3 500T.
