Despite, last minute casting and last minute location arrangements, the promotional narrative video for hip hop artist, Talonted, worked out well in the end. The primary day of shooting was about 16 hours long and actor, Damien Colletti, endured a burn on his hand from a tie that was set on fire but everyone left the shoot in good spirits. The majority of the video was shot at 4K on the RED One - slow motion shots were shot at 2K at 120fps.
Story synopsis:
One with strong passion cannot be broken down. That is the theme for "The Talonted Never Lose," a short film that plays with captivating imagery to get its point across. This piece serves as a cinematic visual of one undergoing several challenges, both physical and mental, while in pursuit of one's passion to achieve something great. The main setting takes place in a dark, grim interrogation room where the main character, Talonted, (playing himself) undergoes different forms of torment by an interrogator, played by Damien Colletti, to break his spirit. But Talonted's passion keeps him holding on with confidence. At the end of the movie, we see just whether this torment is actual or simply all in the mind of Talonted, and how Talonted continues in spite of it all.
Crew: Erik Brown, Mitch Martinez, Dan Sinisi, Jason Glover, Alyssa Achuff, Korey Constable, Schwa Rox, Alan Fenstermaker
