One of which is an age-old technique that has only been refined as modern technologies improve: filming mirror scenes. Reflective surfaces are the enemy of the camera, catching equipment and crew members on the screen when they don\u2019t want to be, and calling attention to the artifice of it all. So how do filmmakers go about making cameras disappear? An astute video essay by <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>r\u00a0<strong>Paul E.T.<\/strong> dives into the intricacies of the techniques to shoot mirror scenes.

What techniques did the filmmaking crew use to hide the camera in this shot? The answer is a little complicated. But very fascinating to learn.<\/p>\n<p>Paul E.T. then goes into detail about the different techniques filmmakers have employed over the years mirror shots, citing scenes from\u00a0<em>Contact, Sucker Punch<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Peggy Sue Got Married, Force Majeure<\/em>,\u00a0and others to examine the use of duplicated sets and compositing. Many writers have gone in-depth on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/contact-mirror-scene\/\">famous mirror scene in\u00a0<em>Contact<\/em><\/a>, but Paul E.T. approaches this topic with a cheeky sense of humor and enough new information that it feels innovative and fresh. Specifically, fresh in his journey to find out more about the scene in\u00a0<em>Criminal U.K.<\/em> becomes his white whale, as he\u2019s unable to find out more information on a \u2014 let\u2019s face it \u2014 little-seen show outside of a few YouTube video essayists, apparently. (I\u2019m joking, I\u2019m sure many people have watched\u00a0<em>Criminal<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p>Film video essays are a dime a dozen on YouTube, but we wanted to highlight this one because it\u2019s a smart, well-researched video that has gone viral in recent weeks (it was released over two months ago). And Paul E.T. seems like a channel who could be on the up-and-up, with his fun format and voice. Be sure to check out his other videos too after you watch his take on the (literal) smoke-and-mirrors that filmmakers have used over the years to make cameras disappear from mirror shots.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
