I have a scene that requires a dolly zoom and since I have never attempted one before, I thought I'd give it a test. This is one of the many samples I tried. I am using a Canon C100 and the tests I ran included different frame rates ( this is 60fps ) and different shutter angles ( this is 360 degree ). Its not perfect by any means, but at least I have an idea of what to do. I slowed the footage down to 60% so you can see the motion is no longer super smooth. Ill have to get better at moving the camera and zooming. This was accomplished by putting my camera on a slider and just moving it back and forth while zooming in and out ( pull back and zoom in or push forward and zoom out ).
