Zoom and Camera Tracking Movie Scenes

Tools    





Hi all,

Can anyone think of anyone think of great movie zooms or camera tracking backwards in a one shot preferably on a busy street and shot in the last 20 years? Very tricky I know.

Big thanks in advance!!

I imagine the opening scene in Touch Of Evil would be the most obvious for tracking. Hallway fight scene in Oldboy was pretty great too.

One of my favoruite reverse / dolly zooms is from 'The Stoning of Soraya M'. Very disturbing movie but I love this shot. It captures the enormity of what they are about to do, and I love the way the background moves.

I was going to say Touch of Evil for tracking as well. I don't know if I ever really liked the dolly zoom cause it looks unnatural most of the time. It was used to good effect in Jaws, The Mask, and Spy Game though.
