trying to avoid being reflected in the mirror(s) – two out of three ain’t bad (title of a song by Meat Loaf)
Toronto. Have you ever shot a scene with a mirror in view? It is really difficult to get the shot you want while avoiding seeing the camera (or the photographer) in the mirror.
Member, author, and sports photographer, Les Jones, spotted the interesting way moviemakers handle such situations. He sent me a note about an article called, “Mirrors in Movies: How Filmmakers Make Cameras Disappear” on the PetaPixel website.
Written by Jeremy Gray on May 12th, the filmmakers’ wizardry involves a whack of money, extra shots, and blue screens. The article is really interesting and may well give you ideas, even if you hate movies with a vengeance.
NB. The post title was written with apologies to the brothers Grimm ….
