Update: 2025-12-05
Description
Wicked Cinematographer Alice Brooks shares insights on filming the complex The Girl in the Bubble scene, where Ariana Grandes Glinda sings to herself in multiple mirrors. The team studied mirror scenes from other movies, used a forty-five-foot crane, and adjusted ceiling heights to create the illusion of a continuous shot. Visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman ensured perfect reflections using mathematics. The scene evolved over years, with the addition of a younger Glinda and color grading adjustments.
