The Dolly Zoom: More Than A Cheap Trick

Lol came looking for this while watching Apollo 13, and there it was, the scene I just saw xD

When I was pregnant I always wondered how I would know when I was in labor. This actually happened to my vision… and it was on

I think it might be used in Raging Bull as well to make the ring look smaller or bigger from scene to scene. Or they might have had different sizes for real rather than optical effect, I can't remember.

The lord of the rings is the exact reason I looked it up

What about the hallway scene in Poltergeist?

The NYT crossword brought me here. There was an entire puzzle themed around Vertigo, and one of the answers was DOLLYZOOM

Anomalia ótica da câmera, ela se aproxima a praia e vai diminuindo o zoom. Pesquisem aí isso é usado como efeito, o rapaz do vídeo errou muuuuito. Como a grande maioria aqui, desculpe contar o nome do efeito.

dolly zoom pesquisem aí!!!

Até cambada. Vamos pesquisar e comemorar o conhecimento.

Could it be called like a "reverse dolly zoom" when, instead of the main subject staying about stationary in the shot and the background becoming closer or farther, it's the other way around: The background is kept about stationary and the main subject becomes closer or farther from the viewer.

Pretty cool trick

its such a cool effect, the background zooms out while the foreground zooms in, or vice versa. and you can do it on your phone right now 😁

the way it signaled as spider-man's spider sense in no way home with the riddler was so cool to me

I love dolly zoom

Loved how it's done in Peaky Blinders, it does show a hidden emotion to the character in a very unique and chilling way.

Thank you!!! I finally understand what's going in these weird shots!

Another example of dolly zoom is in Michael Jackson’s Thriller, when the girl sees MJ himself as a zombie.

Feel like this shot ia always used when someone falls in love at first sight

My favourite dolly zoom is in La haine

The one from 'Road to Perdition' is really trippy

You narrated this backwards in so many instances. Talking about telephoto and wide angle the wrong way around.

I was a fan of the dolly zoom for the longest time. And then I saw them use it in Ten Things I Hate About You when Allison Janney was in her office typing out her steamy novel on her school laptop. That is simultaneously the best and worst possible use of the technique and now I'm trying to decide how I feel about the whole affair.

Such a hypnotizing effect.

Is also known that hitchcock created the dolly zoom because he had a similar trippy experience after drinking dolly, a brazilian beverage made of "dollynho, seu amiguinho".

I never realized the shot in LotR was a Dolly Zoom.

That shot always stuck out to me, and is in my core memory. Great video

The dolly zooms in jaws, shaun of the dead, and ratatouille are my favorites!!

correction: the type of lens isn't what changes how it looks, it's actually the distance from the camera that does. The lens only forces us to look at a smaller part of the image, but the distortion is from being up close, not from zooming in.

I remember the revelation of sitting on the passenger seat as a kid, and zooming back and forth with a video camera while dad was driving. Mind blown.

Robert de niro scene looks like green screen. May be it is.

The double Dolly shot is another favorite of mine courtesy of Spike Lee!
He literally is the master of the double Dolly shot! It's such a signature move of do the right thing in a lot of his other movies.

Road To Perdition has a great Dolly Zoom scene when Jude Law’s character is intoduced

Finally got interested in this effect because of Spiderman No Way Home.

Мало примеров, много болтовни.

Jon Watts is the first director to use a Dolly Zoom to portray Peter's Spider-Sense and that alone makes him one of the best CBM directors ever in my book.

Spiderman

Dolly zoom was really good in no way home, I was curious how it was done

Guardians of the Galaxy, The Flash Season 8, No Way Home

I was always in wonder of that scene in TLOTR, now that I know how it was made I love it even more for some reason

I think my favourite is absolutely in gaurdians of the galaxy vol. 2 when ego tells peter about the tumor

One of my favourite animated dolly zooms is in The Lion King when Simba sees the stampede

Anyone else notice the dolly zoom in episode 3 of Squid Game? Fucking loved that shot

Came here after squid game

Excellent!!!!
