I thought what you call here the paralax move is actually called a Dolly Zoom or the Vertigo shot, effect. Because Hitchcock first used it in his movie Psycho..

[@Leprutz]

p.s. Counter Wrap also called the Michael Bay shot. Without explosions. lol

[@daproductionandfilms3616]

Sir please make a video on how to film with a smart phone without any other equipment.

[@Leprutz]

@@daproductionandfilms3616 🤦‍♂️ it,s exactly the same. Don,t think of your phone as a phone just think it,s a camera. Take all the tips he gave you so far and translate it to phone. Easy.

[@Leprutz]

@Adrian Torro very easy. Camera on tripod. One guy operates the camera and another guy uses the drums. Next shot with gimbal again two guys. Nothing simpler.

Thanks for the tips. Any ideas on getting these kind of shots when you're a one-man band (i.e., the camera person and the talent)?? That would be a nice video!! Subbed.

[@jacques_crafford]

You're welcome Sean! Most of these shots are do-able as a one-man band you just need reliable Autofocus. I'll see if I can make a video where the focus is solo operation. Cheers!

Hey, Just some film history the 'parallax zoom' is called the 'contra-zoom' and originates from vertigo from alfred hitcock in 1958. Alot of movies have used it as inspiration! including Jaws but Vertigo made it famous and popular amongst filmmakers!

[@jacques_crafford]

Yes you are right! Thanks for pointing that out, I only recently learned that.

Of course Jacques Crafford, the parallax zoom with "Jaws" and Martin Brody (Body...) on the beach, but for info years before Welles in "Citizen Kane" with Kane in his famous political speach's climax ! As for me the fact is that we always have to find the well (Wells...) integration of the technical shot within the idea of the shot and the scene. Those movies are exemples of course : one idea per shot = what idea at first and then what kind of shot ? Now it also happens that the reverse is possible, namely that a plan can give a good idea - happy accidents are to be seized 🙂 So let's jump into mise en scene 🤠 Thanks for your tutorials it's really nice 🍻

[@jacques_crafford]

Yann! Thanks so much for your feedback. I've never seen Citizen Kane but it looks like there's a gap in my education. I'm going to try and watch it soon but it looks epic. I just remember seeing the shot in Jaws thinking, this is crazy but we all steal somewhere and sometimes it's important to know where it comes from :)

@@jacques_crafford I've studied CK shot by shot with my old master in films (a close friend of Truffaut, Steven S) and it's the most complex movie, sooo take care of your brain 🤒 CK is for the individual, for a couple you've to watch the short of Max Ophüls "The model", and the equivalent in quality for society is "La règle du jeu" of Jean Renoir.
