and how do you receate something anyway?
Not noticed that.
Pedant... 🙄
God or pedant? You decide.
Doesn't matter if it's optical zoom, digital zoom, or just cropping and expanding/shrinking in post productio
Wrong. It does matter, it's the angle of view change plus the change in position of the camera while maintaining the size of the subject (his face) that gives the effect. Digitally zooming or zooming in post will not give you the change of perspective, it's just cropping. Notice how you see round the building and the shape of his face changes as the lens zooms. It's not a dolly shot without without a dolly or motion control rig and counter zooming to maintain the subjects size while changing the lens position and perspective.
Did you read the rest of my post?
Changing the distance between camera and subject is what makes the background move relative to the subject and creating the effect.
You can't do it *just* using zoom, but given a video with the distance between camera and subject changing, it doesn't matter what kind of zoom you then use to keep the subject the same size.
Just come back from the pub after area beers on an empty stomach, can I be excused ta.
