Today’s local paper carried an article about the production of an Imagefilm about Oberursel. This clip took 23 days to make, 16 hours were initially recorded, and its production costs came close to € 20.000.
I was pleasantly surprised how well our town was captured on film. It featured the Forellengut in the Oberursel forest, a sculptor at work, a car ride through the countryside around Oberursel, the U-Bahn, the Marktplatz, half-timbered houses, and many more sights. It even included several segments of Frankfurt International School.
If you have ever lived in Oberursel and want to reminisce a bit, then watch this clip.
You can watch the kurze Version (a three-minute clip) or the lange Version (an eight-minute clip) on Oberursel Tourismus.
I initially wondered why we needed to spend 20,000EUR on a film for the town, but I acutally quite like it.
For those not from here: the building the U-Bahn passes by, looking a bit like a station, is actually the Rolls Royce factory. Although interestingly the old “Motorenfabrik” station can be seen just off to the right.
