What looks like a camera moving through a mirror is really one continuous Steadicam shot. There is no mirror. The set was built to create the illusion of a reflection, including a staircase that was physically flipped so the trick begins well before the bathroom scene. The slow motion in the hallway was not added in post. The camera speed was ramped live during the shot

Cinemagiq on Instagram: "Contact (1997) contains what is arguably the most mind-bending camera trick ever captured on film.
