A similar scene, but with a new dimension to it, from Enter the Void. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUmF_E71cyI

Great movie!

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

Pretty cool bro
Deltango
I watched this after coming down from DMT. Imagine that
NATA5
This is when my crush on Jena Malone started.
CidColetti
Had the same thought when watching this too. That and beginning of the movie The Birdcage.
YouLookLikeAFruit
I don't see why this is so spec.. what the fuck!?
Kayelle87
Watch Persona.

Jenna Malone?
supraman2turbo
It was cool back when it was posted the two dozen other times too
lunobear
The movie is Contact, based on the book of the same name by Carl Sagan

I saw about how they did this effect. They green screen the mirror and edit the rest into its frame.
RoAnnon
I must agree
Fejerro
Cool shot, but uggghhhhh, the fake running.
JAFIOI
Wow, that IS really cool.
BrobdingnagianMensch
Small moves

This was pointed out last time. The sleeve is different.
BluBoxx
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/
The red sweater exposed and out of the jacket selves shadow. The shot was a single take, but the mirror was a green screen that had the 2/
Original shot flipped and placed into it. It's actually a really cool shot to looks at the BTS of 3/3

This blew my in the first time I saw it!

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 :)
BastardOrphanSonOfAWhoreAndAScotsman
They're a rabid bunch, those repost demons.
DoctorJungyBrongen
"Somebody", more like everybody. My grandma just shouted repost from her grave.
red5standingby
My only problem with this repost is the last person explained how the shot was done.
oicu812b4
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.
skoomaddict
Cant unsee!!!
angrywithoutcheese
"Just editing"= really fucking good editing
wellofmimir
Except it wasn't, really. It was done with a single shot and then it was flipped for what you see in the mirror.
Madcowdsis
MIND... FUCKING... BLOWN...
HenryInTwoForks
They both look the same color to me
right-click, show controls, skip to hand-reach, pause.

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
Black anything, the red sleeve of her red cardigan appears "black" when it's retracted into her jacket sleeve, but is clearly red when 2/
She reaches and exposes it from under the jacket sleeve which slides down her arm slightly 3/3
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/
ltwftw
Not to mention the "real" hand is her right hand, while the mirror shot is her left.
MBarden
It's like the right hand and the left hand are mirror images of each other or something
Touché. I went full retard there for a moment.
Good sport. Almost thought I was being a dick there.
Remlo
Had to watch 3 times before it made any sense. Seems like she's running backwards, but it was reversed.
TheBackgroundMan
ITS FUCKING CG
ThisIsANewName
"look like you're running, but try not to go faster than the camera crew running backwards with equipment" is probably what happened
Omegasaurus
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.
UsernameLadiesMan217
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.

Laszarus
The red is her undershirt
a2ron425
But shouldn't you be able to see that in the mirror anyway?
christopherwalkenslegs
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.
