[Frameworks] Traditional Rotoscoping Mirror Problems

[Karl Reinsalu]

For any image reflection such as this you want to use a FRONT SURFACE
mirror ONLY.
The glass, no matter how wonderful or thin, will affect the light and
create aberrations (some of which are super-cool but not here).

They sell this type of mirror in places that serve optics like telescopes
and kaleidoscopes.
Also probably easy enough to buy off of Amazon USA if you are okay with it.

Best of success, and when you do get the mirror.... COTTON GLOVES ALWAYS OR
YOU WILL FIND OUT WHY THE HARSH WAY.

Again, best of success!

Karl.
