I don't know if Ken Burns was the first to use these Effects (pan and zoom) but he certainly popularized them in his documentary, "The Civil War". Lately, I've been seeing what I would call 'perspective' pan and zoom (hey, I watch The History Channel a lot). These effects might pan but with the objects in the foreground moving at a different rate than the objects in the background giving it the perspective of distance. The effect might also zoom in past an object in the foreground to reveal all of the background objects.
I've been facinated with these effects and wanted to see if I could do the same. My first rough attempt is a zoom past the foreground subject to view the background. The foreground is a still image with transparent background on an overlay that pans to the right while the background image zooms in to the object I wanted to be the main focus.
Here's a short video with my rough effort to date. It's about 3mb is size and runs for 55 seconds. Comments are welcome.
