Foolproof Slow Camera Push Ins

For a long time, I've been looking for a way to achieve the slow camera push with less gear, less crew and less margin for error. I finally found it with a motorized monopod called the Moza SlyPod Pro.

This is amazing - thank you so much for sharing this - I am looking to get this now!!!!

Thought they just used a zoom with a focus lock.

А почему ни сделать бы приближение в давинчи?

Ronin 4D is my solution.

I have the 24-70 GMIi on my FX3 which makes these types of focus moves super easy and effective.

[@rovingearth7028]

Not the same as trucking in. But cool.

[@timdanyo898]

@@rovingearth7028 to be clear I was talking about pushing in or "trucking" in while keeping focus and not zooming the lens.

One way I push in with sharp focus is to place an 8K clip on a 1080p (or 4K) timeline and then use Premiere Pro. Since 8K gives 4 times the pixels/resolution need on a 1080p timeline, you can slowly push in without pixilating or without using additional equipment.

The digital push in is great, but it's essentially a zoom. You don't get the feeling of drawing physically closer.

You can tell when it is done digitally.

Not hard at all if you have the video resolution to do it in the editing phase - no hardware needed. On a SUPER technical basis there may be a slight difference between the two looks that makes a camera on a dolly look better but I can't imagine more than 1 viewer out of 500 could even tell the difference
