Dolly zoom

The dolly zoom is an unsettling in-camera special effect that appears to undermine normal visual perception in a way that is difficult to describe. The effect was invented by Irmin Roberts, a Paramount second-unit cameraman, and was famously used by Alfred Hitchcock in his film Vertigo, although it appeared earlier at the climax to his film Spellbound.
