2025 is the year of the Dolly-Zoom | Gimme A Shot

Over a single 48-hour stretch, I witnessed two of my favorite uses of the dolly-zoom shot—in brand-new 2025 releases. From the inventive road-chase technique in One Battle After Another to the shockingly subtle Edgar Wright moment in The Running Man, these scenes genuinely made me feel something I haven’t felt in years: that cinematic stomach-drop only a perfect dolly zoom can deliver.

In this video, I break down:
🎬 How Michael Bauman turns a car into a dolly to create a roller-coaster effect
🎬 How Chung-Hoon Chung uses a restrained dolly-zoom to shift emotional focus mid-chase
🎬 Why these shots WORK—and why barely anyone is talking about them yet
🎬 The difference between flashy filmmaking and smart, motivated visual storytelling

If you love cinematography breakdowns, shot-technique analysis, or you just want to know what filmmakers are doing with dolly-zooms in 2025, this one’s for you.
