    Oh my God, this content is S-U-R-R-E-A-L!! I am totally shocked by the quality of this! I am an avid consumer of cinematography content, and have never seen this level of tutorial before, with a cinematographer with this level of knowledge! Stunned! ps: the tape ball to lift the mirror and remove the reflexion was one of the most ridiculously obvious and mindblowing tip I have ever seen in cinematography. I had to pause the video to think "Geeh! Why haven't anyone ever taught this before?!!"

    I learned that tape ball trick several years ago when I was AC on the reality show Blind Date. We would be shooting in Restuarants all the time and there would inevitably be a mirror somewhere messing with the shot. I also learned that when you have two people sitting at restaurant dining table and not all the feet of the legs aren't touching the floor so you get that table wobble. Taking a C47 and taking it apart and using it as a wedge to keep it from wobbling. Simple fix when you don't have a grip department and you're basically run and gunning it.

    Holy shit this is the real deal! I just learned some very important lighting. He made a wonderful presentation. I now have a basic grasp of what the numbers indicate on the false color chart. (I Didn't quite know anything about). The way He explained the dynamic of lighting this scene was truly incredible and easy to understand- even for a simpleton like me who only gets it when you dumb it down to grade school. The mirror play was genius. My rookiness would have made more work out of solving that problem by either adjusting the Westcott or moving the mirror entirely. Ok that's enough. Going to watch pt2.

Also, would love a professional to give some advice on how to do this if your budget is low and you had to shoot interior night during the day?? Thanks.

      they just put it on the corner of the mirror to move the bottom of the mirror from the wall (to create and angle) so basically mirror is not in 90 degree angle like this ( I ) but instead it is like this now ( / ) thats all, and the reflection is gone
