The video that kicked off Drone Film Guide back in January 2017, here we show you how to create the dizzying dolly-zoom, vertigo effect shot in post-production with some simple drone footage. This tutorial has been ’emulated’ a hundred times on YouTube since we published ours so I guess that’s flattering right? We stumbled upon this effect when we accidentally applied Ken Burns effect (a post-production zoom in or out) to a tracking in drone shot and everything got weird. Since then we refined our approach to this shot and are here to share it with you. If you really want to take your skills to the next level go on and check out our 8 hour Drone Cinematography Masterclass but in the meantime, here’s the drone dolly zoom vertigo effect tutorial video!
