I'd often seen videos where a person appeared twice in a panoramic shot. I really wanted to try it. However, it's not a good idea to quickly do it with your phone in front of the mirror before bed - a classical last minute entry. There are far too many light reflections, distortions, and breaks in the lines.
Me and myself in the makeup mirror and the regular mirror. I tried winking, but that looked even funnier than sticking my tongue out... oh well, at least you'll have something to chuckle about.

Additional notes:
Thanks Jonathan for your nice comment.
This is ONE panoramic shot - which I think is valid according to the challenge rules under standard editing.
I started the panoramic shot on the left side in front of two mirrors (the big and the small one with my everyday face) paused a moment in the middle while I was sticking out my tongue and completed the panorama going slowly to the right side with just the big mirror.
As mentioned before the implementation is far from perfect, esp. with the distortion of the frame of the small mirror as well as the distortion in the bg.
Maybe this is the reason why I got two "2" votes so far - either the bad quality or the assumption that it might not be legal. Or somebody just doesn't like my face, which is also absolutely ok - sometimes I don't like it myself 😜

Thanks for the notes! I think I (mostly) follow what you're describing. I'm still really new to panoramic style shooting--and it never occurred to me how you could use it to force perspective like this. :-D
This is a lot of fun to me. Authentic in the best way. And I'm really interested to know how you did this in a single exposure...hope you left some notes. :-)
