Get a giant telephoto lens.

Start zoomed all the way out.

Step back a few feet and zoom in so the object is the same size.

Repeat.

Or it’s witchcraft and we need to set this photographer on fire. 

Also known as the “Hitchcock Pull” or the “dolly zoom,” this technique was pioneered by Irmin Roberts and was famously used in Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Vertigo.”

It should be used a lot more, honestly.

One of my favorite cinematography techniques. Especially when it is done super smoothly.
