 --The guy is an IRANIAN famous actor -PEJMAN BAZEGHI (www.pejmanbazeghi.com) ,and the girl is NAGHME AKA NINI who is not famous ;) and doesn't have any talent !!! but really looks good ;>

--The guy is standing on a chair ,behind the white frame .
--The mirror (framed by a paper) which the girl's reflect is in it ,has been fixed by a wooden handle stick to it from behind the black background and placed on the guy's shoulder ,someone was adjusting it and giving it the right angle there .
--The girl is standing on a ladder in front of the framed guy .
--I am standing on a chair a kind of 90 degree .
--The bad thing that there was a lot of work to do and i forgot to fix the light in the right position ,there is a shadow on the guy ,and i can't clone it out .

The only hard thing shooting this photo was JUST EVERYTHING !!! because of having none professional equipment (background - light...) ,fixing both backgrounds and holders - fixing the mirror which the girl reflect has to be in it - the light and getting rid of shadows for both faces - the poor sleepy-noisy REZA ASGHARIAN who is in charge of holding both mirror and the background and the ACTOR !!! and sometimes fixing everything and snoring to make everybody laugh ;> ruining the whole set but the submitted photo is the one after cracking everybody.

Thanks to :

PEJMAN BAZEGHI - THE MAIN ELEMENT
NAGHME AKA NINI - THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR
REZA ASGHARIAN - THE BACKSTAGE THE F1 EXPERT AND FOR those two bottles !!! PEPPAR !!!
PARHAM BAZEGHI - THE BACKGROUND OF NINI !!!
AMIR KHAEF - THE LIGHT
NEDA - SISTER OF THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR !!!
JOUBIN - THE BACKGROUND HOLDER

AND

*DORASAY AND MOHAMMAD AKA TIGMO FOR THE GREAT FLOWERS ,and giving me a positive energy to do this shot .

This was a great movie and I like what you've done with it.

One of my favorite films. Not sure how well this works as a 'scene' from the movie, but I applaud your taste in films.

IMHO this is a good composition but there isn't quite enough light on the subjects faces

Photographer's notes are hidden until after voting. IMO using the title to slip them in during voting seems a little ...... tacky? I do like the shot, though.

Ok got the mirror part but how did you darken the outer area?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Personally, I think your title detracts from the entire image. What's the point of pointing out that it's not a photo? The image itself could be crisper. I think the shadow line across the man's shoulder is a distraction as well.

Nicely shot. I love the darkness to it. I would have left the title to "Memento". If someone didn't believe it met the rules, I would have let the Site Council work it out in validation.

This movie is awesome! I saw this 3 times in the cinema. You did a great job here I HAVE to rate this 10!

This is a great picture. I'm guessing this took a bit of setup? The low light and black background are very cool. It's almost too clear however for the movie (neither picture that you are imitating is a very clear picture), but that's okay.

cool shot, but was this actually a scen in the movie? I have seen the movie quite a few times and is one of favorites and I don't remember a photo that just says memento on it. PM if I am wrong.

One of my favorite movies. Decently done, but it doesn't really bring justice to the movie in my opinion. Not bad though.

Loved the movie and I love your treatment of the poster. You may be getting dinged for it not being an actual scene from the movie but I dont care. You executed this brilliant idea very well (and thanks for the tip in the title - I would have thought her a picture). Bumping up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/30/2006 07:12:56 AM
well done...glad you pointed out that she was in a mirror, but you should have had validation instead as it would have avoided the title explanation 7

Very well done. I've not seen the film, but this is just like the poster images.

Nice going, well-exposed. Isn't it a shame that you have to defend yourself in the title?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/30/2006 01:25:07 AM
nice movie poster...unfortunately, the challenge was to replicate a scene from a movie.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great concept. Plus 1 for me recognizing it without being bashed over the head by the picture's title, minus 1 for bashing me over the head with the movie title in the picture itself, minus 1 for bashing me over the head by telling me in the title that the girl's in the mirror. It LOOKS like a photo of two pictures, and the title doesn't correct that.

That said, for this movie, a picture of two polaroids is dead on target.

Mush all that around and it lands on a 5.
