This is a video from the Michael Dunbar "Archives" where I test out the Contra Zoom (as seen in films such as Vertigo and Jaws). I found that I needed to record it to see if it worked. Lucky it did.
Hope you enjoy this little treat.
(The trick would have worked better if I were able to use a dolly or a track.)
You zoom in before filming, then you start filming an object or person. Zoom out as you track in and the effect should work.
I guess it would work better with a Dolly.
