This role was Jena Malone's big break! So glad she's landing huge roles now. She was awesome in Suckerpunch

It's not different. The red sweater she's wearing looks black when it's inside the yellow interior jacket, when she reaches you can see 1/

I saw about how they did this effect. They green screen the mirror and edit the rest into its frame.

Someone has already posted this before, you probably didn't know but don't be surprised if the repost demons come after you! Amazing shot :)

They're a rabid bunch, those repost demons.

"Somebody", more like everybody. My grandma just shouted repost from her grave.

My only problem with this repost is the last person explained how the shot was done.

Had to watch 3 times before it made any sense. Seems like she's running backwards, but it was reversed.

ITS FUCKING CG

"look like you're running, but try not to go faster than the camera crew running backwards with equipment" is probably what happened

That is really hard to deal with on set.

"The shot was filmed normally and flipped in post to achieve the mirror image. The actual bathroom mirror was replaced with a bluescreen

into which the original shot was superimposed.” Explanation from the director.

Right idea, but two different shots were used. Sleeve in mirror is black inner, yellow outer. The sleeve on arm reaching for handle is red.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 9

The red is her undershirt

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

But shouldn't you be able to see that in the mirror anyway?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yes. In the "mirror image" you can't see her sweater jutting out of the jacket. Now you can never unsee it in this scene.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

someone pointed it out before that this is just editing. the shirt under her sleeve in the mirror is black while the real one is red.

"Just editing"= really fucking good editing

Except it wasn't, really. It was done with a single shot and then it was flipped for what you see in the mirror.

Except if you look closely you'll see that the truly telling part is the shirt underneath doesn't stick out in the "mirror" shot while 1/2

the hand reaching for the mirror has the sleeve sticking out a few inches. Color be damned, mirrors don't play THAT many tricks

It's a single take (the shot is simply flipped and places in a green screen that was where the "mirror" would be. She's not wearing a 1/

Not to mention the "real" hand is her right hand, while the mirror shot is her left.

It's like the right hand and the left hand are mirror images of each other or something
