Poor example here, sorry. The problem is that the speeds of moving and zooming are not the same, so it just looks like the clock weirdly moves around. Which could be good for its own effect but it's not a good example of a dolly zoom.
You need a smoother pulling. Did you put your camera on a piece of paper or cloth and pulled it?? Lol it sounds so. Try doing it very slowly or on something with wheels! Skateboard maybe? xD
I thought I invented this effect in like 1990. I was walking down a pier while zooming (out?) on a seagull on a pylon. It was far enough from me, and the background far enough from it for good effect. I got home and watched the footage and was like ... WTF ? And then when I saw it in a movie, I said "I know what that is !"
This effect is called the dolly-zoom, the spielberg shot, or the vertigo shot.
It's achieved generally by moving the camera towards the object, and zooming out at the same time, in effect the object doesnt appear to move but the background is distorted.
I think I've heard it called the Hitchcock shot too.....I'm sure even Mr Spielberg wouldn't want it named after him. Look at Dolly shot under Wikipedia. Cheers, Matt

The shaking ruins most of the trick =(

Its just dollying out while zooming in... I would recommend doing it slowly so less jerking around

Is this effect created by a lag in the zoom?

i tried it on a hand driven mechanism with optical zoom, so there may be some lag. thanks for the comment.
