- This Instagram video showcases a cat misty clifftop above Meteora's rock-hewn monasteries in Greece, using a dolly zoom to make the vast landscape appear to surge forward, amplifying the scene's epic scale. - Coined the 'Vertigo effect', this in-camera technique—pioneered by special effects artist Irmin Roberts for Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 thriller—tracks the camera towards the subject while zooming out, stabilising their size but distorting perspective to mimic disorientation. - Posted by science curator @Rainmaker1973, the clip has drawn 400,000+ views and replies lauding its Hitchcock homage, underscoring how classic film tools continue to inspire viral, wonder-evoking content on social media.
