How it works
The dolly zoom (also known as the Vertigo effect) simultaneously changes focal length and camera distance to keep the subject the same size while dramatically shifting the background perspective. In AI video, this effect can be achieved through camera control parameters in tools that support complex camera movements. Runway Gen-4 provides the most control over this type of camera movement. The dolly zoom is highly effective for dramatic reveals and emphasis moments in brand films.
