The Mortal Kombat footage was shot by Fame director Kevin Tancharoen. The good people at Collider had an opportunity to talk to Tancharoen and discover more, you can read that interview here. But here is the gist:
The short film was shot in early April completely on spec. It was shot over two days on two RED cameras for or $7,500 with most of the crew donating their time. Post production took two months, and no one at the studio knew anything about the spec short film, even though screenwriter Oren Uziel (who is attached to the next Mortal Kombat movie according to imdb) wrote the script. Tancharoen made the film as a pitch for the job. The fight choreography was done by Larnell Stovall, who worked on the fight sequenced in Undisputed III, and did stunts for The Other Guys and Green Lantern.
Sonya Blade is Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Voyager), Baraka was Lateef Crowder (Undisputed III), Scorpion was Ian Anthony Dale (Tekken), Johnny Cage was martial artist Matt Mullins.
