I'm currently working with Samsung who have made this. It was shot in one take, with no post production or special effects of any kind. Can you figure out how it was done?

Mirror isn't a mirror, it's a practical doorway. There's a "mirror" room setup on other side whwere the camera guy is.

The camera turns into a mirror of some sort.

Nice wee ad. Had me involved, though I have no need for such a machine.
- Meeklo0
well, it can't be that there is a hole in the wall, and the guy we see is pretending to be recording the video, but he is just being shot by another person, wearing his same clothes that we never get to see..
that would be to easy.
so no, I dont know, tell us
- chossy0
Or it has a lense on both sides and projects on either side so it filmed his body and projected his body on the side facing the mirror.

the girl was wearing blue earlier in the shot then red in the end.

I think it's that there is a hole in the wall and two seperate rooms. I still can't figure out where the phone goes.
- harlequino0
^Yup. Two rooms. Phone gets handed to a PA off-camera.
- Meeklo0
here is another one to figure out
- harlequino0
Michel Gondry would have taken it further. :)

"Notice how unusually thick that "mirror" is. It's actually a flat panel HDTV in a convincing, mirror-like frame, showing a video of the same guy, and carefully choreographed and timed to seem like it's all in real time."

i don't care how it's done. just give me those chairs.
