How Filmmakers Make Cameras Disappear | Mirrors in Movies 

You're 100% correct. That's my mistake. I should have double checked my sources for that aspect of the shot. Appreciate the comment!

That’s awesome

That's even cooler to be revealed this way. Way after the video is done and uploaded and we are done watching.

It's a one way mirror. They didn't slid up quickly.

@@magicianazar4648 That’s not true… They slid up the mirror… You can find it on the directors commentary of the film… If it were a one Way mirror there would be reflections

Same. This whole video was a waste of time.

I'm with you guys... because I'm not even a filmmaker and it was pretty obvious to me from the beginning. I only clickedon the video 'cause I though "there must be some clever practical effects used", but no... literally the first thing you think of is the answer :D ...and further more, all the "OmG, this is amazing" comments baffled me even more :D

Lol i know

right, the entire time i was just thinking there must be something special to justify all of this since it could easily just be painted out. but no, turns out it's just a guy who likes the aesthetics of youtube video essays spending over 10 minutes communicating the same amount of info you could fit in a single paragraph

The title of the video is "How Filmmakers make cameras disappear", him talking about that especific shot was him explaining what gave him the idea to do the video

Ha ha so funny bro

they can travel the whole universe without rockets, can hold their camera for years to take amazing construction time lapses...

Time travel too

I even seen a cameraman dropped with a bomb in documentary of Hiroshima

And as this video showed...They're invisible, just look in the mirrors!

I kind of zoned out there and missed it, that’s genius!

it really tricked me, i even had a donut media video in the same spot that he put one in

What are you referring to?

Hi Jazza, you are the best art RU-vid channel! I love your videos!

Me 2 from ma side 😋

Woww..! hello jazza it's surprising to see u here😅

Lmao there are so many famous RU-vidrs here

Hello Jazza, fancy meeting you here. Love your channel!!

New channel Med(ia)life crisis? Haha

Now that's a wacky product placement!

It was clear enough.

Which min?

@@fardinsediqi7583 7:55

IKR. I even want to watch the show that this is based off.

Coolmark! Where are you? You couldn't have been biking and hiking for the past 7 months!

indeed! the production seems like a TV show by itself

Even went back a little bit to see if was not mistaken. Pure wizardry.

aaaaa

@@MrRodrigues520 same, I felt kind of stupid not gonna lie

I was like "damn, when did the interface change, looks nice"

Amazing editing, not just that one bit of coutse

well you said this 20 hours ago from when I'm typing, and he's at 6.7k now so maybe our boy is blowing up

@@d0grent YT's algo has dropped this vid into a lot of people's recommendations recently it would seem.

Subscribed! Good luck with your channel! Hope for the best! 🍻

Just adding in on his growth... just sub’d myself and he’s at 8k! Lol keep going good brotha 🙏🏾

9.86k now

heyyy nice pfp! Hirotaka Nifuji ヽ（´∀｀）ノ

@@user-sm3nz6sy7g thank you! I like your profile name, it is nice. shine brilliantly daughter of light!

@@JC-jz6rx I-- you making me blush rn (´⊙ω⊙`) but, yeah, it's just my name. Just making it into japanese.. Just for fun actually. Thank you for the compliment, wish you luck and good day! ~ o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

@@user-sm3nz6sy7g no problem, kindness should be passed on, there is too little of it in the world. Good day to you as well!

That's what I was thinking how hard ppl work on this stuff just for us to just expect when we watch

I too am a VFX artist living in India!!!

I came into this video wondering how there could possibly be 13 minutes worth of video to just say this. In my experience as someone whose job it was to find these things for VFX to remove, if there’s a mirror in a scene there’s probably equipment we’ll have to remove.

You meant cover?

Yo didn't expect to see you here 👁️👁️

@@nikhilsojin3273 me neither lol

I love how all of you people are just trying to get subscribers

That's true, those who take for granted what they were watching can't see this ton of work.

Oh hi mark !

Great spot!

🙄

🤯🤯

That doesnt eliminate the camera Yeah i got the joke tho

@@sluggie1018 then make the camera drink invisibility potions as well why overcomplicate it

@@um...angelo actually the camera is painted with the potion because a camera does not have a mouth yes im funny

@@sluggie1018 what about a splash potion ? you guys are still overcomplicating it

hahaminecrafthaha

EEE!

7.37

7:37

By the way I picked a random time and it actually was the correct one 😂

They were CGI mirrors in fact (boo!) but yeah they probably did in post production

And you can see the hands on the actress on the right not match each other!

"Inattentional Blindness" is one of the great unsung heroes of filmmaking. IB is why no one ever thinks it odd that you can see the Hollywood hills from London's Carnaby Street in "The Spy Who Shagged Me." Or that in "Independence Day" Area 51 apparently gets their trashcans from the ART DEPT. As Harrison Ford said to Mark Hamill, "If people are looking at our hair, kid, we're in big trouble."

@@lilyb7438 Yeah right I noticed that too.

And at 4:54 the right girl in the mirror sits abit faster that the other girl

i don’t know about you but i only started looking that closely at the duplicate actors after the video told me about it. then it seemed sooo obvious. if i wasn’t looking out for it, it would just slip by

true

@@name_69420 It had potential to be most annoying video on RU-vid if he didn't reveal the camera trick at the end

You are also here 😂. Bro I passed my exam by watching your videos. Keep going

good video quality, lots of unnecessary edits

@@depthshade837 i liked those

ikr, but wait you have 500k subscribers

Hey Ten Hun! You have good taste in RU-vid channels haha

Heeeyyyy! We get recommended the same quality content!

@@Jazza okay Jazza AND Tenhun in one tiny comment section 👀 what's going on here

@@Jazza it’s crazy how good this is on a smaller channel. Haha good to see you here Jazza!

yeah he simplified the Contact stuff too, like he didn't mention that they somehow include the bevel on the mirror. there are a lot of great breakdowns from corridor crew and others. the object removal process is getting closer to being automated but it's still difficult and tedious and would have been worth him spending literally any time on

Damn... halfway through the video, and that was my guess.

Brudda how and why do I see you in the comments section all the time... like this is like the 10th time I’m watching you on the same comments section as I am in 🤯😂... I guess we have pretty much the same feed on RU-vid lol 😂 but cheers to you mate love your content would love to hangout with you sometime ❤️😤♥️

If there is good video u are there in comnt section

@@alokct4548 yeah Everywhere I go see him 😜🥵

@@KAY-kj8th ya

Oooooooh yeaaaaahhhhhh!

Hi verified man!

I want to ask for another video because God of war had me crying.

Dude I'm subbed to you lol

The god of well edited videos himself!

yes I noticed that too only after explanation :)

People are used to think "That's a mirror" and that's why very few can notice the illusion before being told how it was done. Our minds do a lot of things to try to "enhance" our vision and add details where there isn't on the fly that's why that kind of tricks do work despite not withstanding the "frame by frame" test

the hand movement too

I can't unsee that now lol

I noticed the four actresses not acting in sync the first time I saw the movie and was totally confused what this scene is about, as my brain didn't make up a mirror. Thought later it was a hint on the characters.

You said it . Just subbed 🔥

HIIIII!!!! I'm a fannn

STPAUB

Me too

I searched for it

Did you read my mind?!

Fr

Interesting. Why though?

and yes gets alot of likes because verified

Hmm, probably farming for fame?

@@viejaspeliculasfilipinas3621 ye

Chef (2014) my guy

Have you seen Chef?

oh shit, it's the egg guy

🥚

dont want an accidental face reveal eh?

And in T2, that's Linda Hamilton's twin sister in the "reflection". There's no hidden cut.

When will you upload…?

@@josephrezin5395 Yes.

I'm confused how the last shot was more impressive? It was just a standard one way mirror with the camera edited out of the reflection like the previous shot. Right?

@@duewest9801 The room was dark, so there is no need to cut things out, you can only see the reflections of the actors

The ending was amazing. Just casually dropping that in there as an extra mind fck. Subbed

My brother used to work in the animation industry. He eventually worked with Rhythm & Hues, one of the most storied animation studios that weren't attached to their own production houses (e.g. unlike Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic or Disney). Rhythm & Hues did effects for many of the X-Men movies, the Narnia movies, Life of Pi, and had won an Oscar for Babe (the mid 90s one with the talking animals). My brother actually worked on Life of Pi. However at the very time its Oscar was announced, the company was filing for bankruptcy. Animation houses are treated like sh*t by Hollywood studios like Warner, who will negotiate every penny of profit out of them and the animators would often be operating at losses just to keep their company going. The usual creative industry dynamic of young talent being forced into working for peanuts to "build their portfolio" also led to a host of talent in India and China doing things dirt cheap (or for free internships), making it a numbers game rather than about quality. Digital tools also made quality easier to achieve. It's an irony that even in animation movies the voiceover actors are credited as the stars of the movie (if they happen to be famous), while those who actually made the visuals would come in 10 minutes into the credits, if they come at all (in many, many movies only a couple of head honchos of the VFX studio are mentioned, not the talent who actually made the visuals). During the R&H bankruptcy episode there was a "Green screen" movement in animation circles where people replaced their social media photos with green screens, since that's all we would have if there were no digital artists. But it remained within those circles rather than become known to the wider public. Anyway, after R&H went bankrupt my brother left the animation industry, went back to school and became a highly paid analytics consultant. He doesn't like it that much, but it pays the bills. He does art on the side for personal satisfaction. Maybe the day would come when animators get more respect and recognition, like stunt actors now do. But anyway. :)

@@83vbond These two are the most important comments in this entire comment section.

@@83vbond An ex of mine is an animator in Ireland and yup - treated like absolute shit by the higher ups and the client. Expected to work for peanuts.

Glad someone mentions this, thank you!

Got the same thing in mind

you did a thing

Train more animals XD. Love your content.

I did a thing! 🤩

so many checkmark'd creators

yooo its i did a thing

I know right

Amen!

Yep

Can’t believe this guy only has 3k. These videos are epic. Looking forward to more uploads 👍🏻

I agree. Subscribing right now AND clicked the bell for once.

God bless you

I loved watching that movie when I was a teenager. Still has left an impression in me, even after all these years, due to strong visuals. Thanks for your work on it!

Mirrors can also be simulated in film using a green screen. In post production they can show the reversed video (taken at an appropriate angle by a second camera) where the green screen was. The illusion can be perfect.

@@david203 the more you know thankyou 🙂

Now he's at almost 36k so yeah he's reaching there.

Hes 40k now, like, Oh God, this guy literally made a very useful video and discover a mystery.

As of my commenting he has over 63k subs.. Lmao he is growing.
