    So at 5:30 there’s a mistake in your assessment. There was no stitching of two shots together… When the camera passes through the mirror set actual mirrors were slid up quickly between the two parallel sets… It’s ONE shot

      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

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."

      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

    Fascinating stuff! BTW, there's a scene near the end of "Return to Oz" that had a huge parade of characters, including many that were puppets, going through a palace with mirrors on virtually every surface. I've watched it many times and have always been amazed that I can't see any of the camera, crew, or other gear in the mirrors.

      @david203 3 роки тому +47

      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.

    • @83vbond
      @83vbond 3 роки тому +62

      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. :)

  • @barthvapour
    @barthvapour 3 роки тому +17

    There's actually another technique which can be used to create the shot which was puzzling you, which was implemented on Lost a few years ago. That is to have an open frame where the mirror would be, and an area largely filled with blue screen with another camera filming in the opposite direction, with moves matched to the main camera. The footage from this second camera is then flipped and superimposed into the mirror frame to make the final shot. It still requires some rotoscoping as well as a computer synced camera setup so it was probably more difficult to execute than the way they did it here.
