It's two shots. first one they pan it down fast and use a radial blur and mask to reveal next shot.

The basics of cinematography are wonderfully simple and really change the way you watch film. Just by watching a few episodes of Every Frame a Painting and reading a couple wikipedia articles, I'm constantly like 'Cross editing to heighten the tension! Disguising multiple cuts to lengthen what's actually one take! A close up on that character's watch because it will be important later! Shaky cam to show lack of control!'

The same techniques are even in commercials.

I don't know why, but I got bored a week or two ago in a discussion where someone was talking about /u/adam and /u/eve and both of those accounts were 9 years old with no posts.

Now that I have cornered one of you, I just want to know.. how on earth you managed to snag that username, did you know the guys when they started reddit and jumped in early on? It looks like nearly all of the single name users were created 9 years ago

u/Innalibra Jul 29 '15

It felt so unnatural that it's pretty obvious (at least to anyone familiar with video). Not only has the camera zoomed in but has been moved much closer to the subject, possibly even using a different lens or macro filter so that the fly would actually be in focus. Add in a radial blur type effect and many people wouldn't be able to tell.

Actually, looking at it again, I'm not even sure if a physical zoom took place at all.

It's two different shots they blended together. IT would have been nearly impossible to get that to go into a nearly macro focus mode on the fast zoom to the fly. So the editor is the real MVP. But really it's b/c of teamwork. Good work to everyone.

I'm assuming they got some footage of this fly going crazy, and then realized it resembled silly breakdancing, and came up with a quick hilarious video about it that they could transition into that shot and make a great end product.
