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

[zelllers]

13 minutes and 4 seconds when he could have just said "they edited the camera out".

You're a true film maker

Best youtube channel recommendation in a long time. Love this!

Cameraman is the most advance human species

1.They can run as fast as athletes
2.they're immortal
3.they pass through Walls

How on earth do you have 4.21K subs and not 4 million ? OMG, the production value, the editing, the WOW

2:20 When the girl is trying to reach the mirror door we can notice in her sleeve that she's wearing a brown sweater that we don't see in the mirror reflection.

I never realized how much Ive always just taken this for granted

[HowToBasic]

What’s the name of the movie at 9:41 ???

As a VFX paint artist myself I can only feel proud for the underpaid and probably uncredited VFX artist in India or some other VFX outsourcing country who'll be watching this video and feeling that he's achieved something. You did great work dude. And as for the video. Loved it. This is one gem of a channel.

3:53 “We’re this far into the video.”

Me: *wondering why the time is showing, tapping everywhere to make it disappear*

[TheArtofGuitar]

I can tell you put a ton of work into this. Great work.

As a professional post-production VFX artist that does this type of object removal on a daily basis, can confirm the VFX approach to remove cameras in mirror shots like this happen a lot more than we think! Still get some nice onset tricky like the camera positioning or double actors/sets to help, but nowadays there's a lot more oh "ehhh let's fix that in post" kinda approach 😄

I appreciate the unnecessary effort put into that tripod gag. But you should really disclose that it was a sponsored segment for Big Wall

[bennemann]

at 5:02 you can see the "reflection" of the actress on the left starts tilting her head considerably before the actress herself. Amazing that they let such a poor job go unedited. But then again, I guess I only noticed it because I was looking for it.

The tiny screech of Sandra bullock swinging past absolutely made my night.

[myeahonline]

this got me caring about a topic I never gave a thought to. I’ve never actively gotten curious with technical film stuff but this essay was packaged so nicely on top of an already interesting topic. The editing is incredible, and the entertainment factor is… it’s beautiful…

[TommoCarroll]

I LOVE how they changed the silhouette of the camera to make rotoing easier, that makes so much sense

[ominusomega]

At 5:03 or 5:04 you can actually see one of the actress’ (the one in the “mirror” on the left) head tilt before the double’s tilt and I only noticed that after he explained how that scene worked. Interesting stuff
