The Chosen One - Short Film (With Mike Tyson)

#comedy #shortfilm #filmmaking
"Little league baseball player Larry McHerbert battles between pursuing what he wants to do and what he was born to do"
We had a lot of fun putting this film together for the ‪@themusicbed‬ Challenge 2023. As always we didn't have a budget for this film and we want to thank all the actors and friends who came to help us realize this in one month from concept to realization. Let us know in the comment your thoughts about the film!
GEAR TALK :
I shot this short film on my ‪@reddigitalcinema‬ Komodo 6k using the ‪@LaowaByVenusOptics‬ PROTEUS 35mm and 60mm T2 2X anamorphic. Thank you Laowa for letting me use those! Occasionally in a few shots, I used the Sony A7s3 for its smaller size.
I colored it in Resolve 18 using ‪@Dehancer‬ .
I used lights by ‪@godoxlighting‬ and ‪@aputurelighting‬

I watched the film to check out the lenses on the Komodo which I own. However I ended up really enjoying the film which was smartly written with good acting. Nice job!

[@montgomerycamjr]

DANG!!!! Larry couldn't even drive a BUS with skill!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AxiA]

Poor Larry! 😝

[@aov_james]

love all your short films! I'm a big fan :P
sorry for bashing on my personal taste* I'm kinda 50:50 on anamorphic looks. I may generally like cooke or arri anamorphic renders vs I can't quite fall for consumer anamorphic lenses so far.
Even though, I genuinely love the story and looks you intended to go for, to me, some shots felt really distorted and distracting to watch.
but bru! keep it up!! I'm a big fan and can't wait to watch your next film!!

[@AxiA]

Thanks man! I’m glad you were able to enjoy the film regardless 🙏🙏

[@Wynn85040]

Hahahahahah I'm weak. This was great. OG Larry fell asleep on the wheel 😂😂😂. So you're all RED now and no more Pocket 4K? Nice.

[@AxiA]

Glad you liked it man!! Komodo or BMPCC4k doesn't matter... Komodo is just a more polished build and body shape, that's mainly why I prefer it.

[@marziapiccinini4092]

bravissimo Joe 👏👏👏

[@kirankiranmishra]

pretty stylist film and color, loving the idea of using the anamorphic incorrectly. pretty dynamic shots

[@AxiA]

Thanks man!!` why did I use anamorphic incorrectly?

[@TubeSilva]

How did you land that cameo from the champ? Or is that deep fake?
As always love your videos!

[@AxiA]

We wish we had the real mike. But we are lucky to have Dr.Fakenstein on our team who can deepfake anyone 😎

Which red camera is this shot on?

[@AxiA]

Komodo

@@swift7476 regular red Komodo 6k

@@AxiAoh wow this is the best quality I done seen with the 6k so far how do you get yours to look like this?

[@AxiA]

@@swift7476 I did nothing special. I think color grading helps

[@nigel_the_director]

Great great short ...... the coach scenes at the start .... Larry's shots are a bit green , doesn't match well ... That's the only flaw .... Great Great short.

[@AxiA]

Thanks man! The close ups of the kid and the coach on the baseball dugout were shot in different days. In some of those the green spill from the nearby grass was more evident that in other shots. I’m glad you liked the short film anyway 🙏

[@nigel_the_director]

@@AxiA ohh That makes a lot of sense. of course was a damn good short VERY VERY well shot .
