Max Field Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 You know where you put a mirror REALLY close to the lens and angle it so it doubles the image while the physical mirror itself is out of focus? What do you find to be the most compact way of doing that? I currently use a C-stand cuddled up next to the camera tripod, but I'd like a method that doesn't use stands if possible. Thanks!

Stephen Baldassarre Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It sounds like you have the ideal rig already. It may take some experimentation but you might try making a frame that can bolt to a tripod with a high grade front-side reflective mirror (so you can get away with a much smaller, thinner mirror) to put it almost right up to the camera.

Stephen Baldassarre Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 That looks cool! I love practical effects. One of my favorites for a music video was a shot that waved and distorted. Nobody believed I didn't use some computer plugin (and this was in the 90s), I just shot downward through a Pyrex pan with water in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
