I love that camera effect. Zooming in on the subject while the camera moves away.

Yeah, until they actually revealed how they did it, it had me scratching my head. Now they could probably do it with CGI.

I’m pretty sure that one is the opposite. Zooming out while moving closer.

They do both.

I think it’s cool as well.

I wonder who first came up with it?

I’ll try to look it up, but I don’t know what they call it.

Found this.

A dolly zoom is an in-camera effect where you dolly towards or away from a subject while zooming in the opposite direction. Also known as a zolly, this shot creates a sense of unease in the viewer, simulates a spatial warp, and can either shrink or extend distances based on the choice of direction.

This shot is commonly referred to as a vertigo shot, or vertigo effect thanks to Alfred Hitchcock’s film Vertigo, which used the shot multiple times and to great effect.
