    He made it a vampire camera.

    And the whole thing was shot during a vampire weekend.

    I thought she was perfect and was trying to remember where I had seen her before... it was House, thanks.

    As to how they avoid reflections, that's a very old filmmaking trick. The mirror is angled in a way that is not visible to the viewer, but keeps the viewer from seeing the camera.

    On TV and movie sets it's done all the time. In fact, when they build standing sets with reflective surfaces like mirrors, they often make them adjustable for just this purpose. The actors have to "cheat" with the angle of where they're looking/pointing to make it look like those surfaces are really straight. If you'd really be standing on the set you'd see that they're cantered. Sometimes quite a lot.

    Alternately, they replace the mirror with clear glass, or remove it altogether and have something else in its place, or shoot from that position.

    (Eg, when you see and interrogation room on a cop show with a one-way mirror. The mirror is removable. When they're shooting the interrogation, it's there. When you see the people in the other room looking through the "mirror," there's nothing there, or they replace it with clear.
