Terrific interview! Akis is remarkably talented and this was a treat to hear how he approaches the challenges of shooting The Chosen. Wish I could ask him how he filmed the scene in Season 3 when Jesus feels the power leaving him as Veronica touches the tzitzits and is healed. Was it a wide angle zoom lens that was zoomed in? The photography perfectly captured that moment.
The Chosen is one of the first films where I had to look at the credits to find the Cinematographer (first thing) -- it also has great directorship, writing, sound / music and actors (and more); again the cinematography is the first thing I noticed though -- please finish out the series, and I look forward to future films as well. And I'm going to check out past films too, great interview BTW.
Thanks for your kind words! I’m glad you noticed the cinematography-it’s always great when the visuals make such an impact. Hope you enjoy exploring our past films too!
