How the movement works
To move in on a person or detail while keeping a sense of depth.
- 01Camera: moves forward (in depth) 0 m → 5.8 m; height 1.5 m, direction and focal length (330 px, shown as 24mm) fixed
- 02Timing: 0.5 s to 3.4 s (2.9 s), cubic ease-in-out (about cubic-bezier(0.65,0,0.35,1))
- 03Subject: a person stands still 8 m ahead; distance goes 8 m → 2.2 m, so they appear about 3.6× larger
- 04Parallax: a foreground post (1.5 m left, 3.6 m deep) and a rock (1.6 m right, 4.8 m deep) pass out of frame; mountains 120 m+ away stay almost the same size
- 05Return: hold 3.4–4.2 s, then cross-fade back to the start over the last 0.5 s (one pass = 4.7 s)
- 06The top-right readout stays at 24mm (the difference from 04 Zoom in)
