Shooting against mirrors?

[mb72378]

I am getting ready to start preproduction on a 1 hour fitness video. The client wants it shot in a specific room. Problem.....mirrors on all of the walls!!! I know. Anyone have any ideas on how to shot against mirrors? Im a little worried at this point. There's no way to change location.

Not a huge problem, necessarily. Keep light off of them, keep them clean and work out your angles and sight lines very, very carefully. You can always dress them with stage curtain or muslin or something if you find you have no room to maneuver without getting crew or gear in the shot. It helps to spike "crew safe zones" on the floor once you have worked out all the sight lines.

I shot in a Hall of Mirrors in Luzern, Switzerland...I think you could use them to your advantage. Try some test shots and see if you can't make them beneficial.
