I feel like I am fortunate to get some really cool jobs that allow me to use my brain to figure out how to get the shot. This is one of those instances.

So for educational purposes I want to tell you about the really cool "gag" we pulled off with Mirrors for Stella.

For me the reference is truly coming from Yayoi Kusama ( totally a long time fan of her ) and was excited to figure out how we were going to achieve a similar type of infinity shot.

Searching for both two way mirror and oddly remembering mirrored plexi glass I secured both and several other options of mirror and reflective plastics. Something HAD to work.

Add in stress from the director and you would understand why I had a lot of options ready to go.

THE RESULT : Black out around the camera lense then shoot through the mirror plexi at the glass ( key prop ) and pick up the infinity reflection by using regular mirror from Home Depot. Cheat it to one side and Boom its the shot. Also note you really have to block out the sides and don't get me wrong we played with this for hours to get enough light in and yet none of the reflections.

NEXT UP... Try pouring water all day to make it slosh up ( see OJ commercials )

Kidding ....
