Vertigo

What this effect is

The vertigo shot dollies the camera backwards while zooming the lens in at the same rate: the subject holds its exact size and the background warps away behind it. Hitchcock built the rig in 1958 to show a character’s psychological drop, and it still reads as the ground giving way.
