In this episode of our drone video series with the amazing Clifford Pickett, we’re diving deep into one of the most cinematic techniques in filmmaking - the Dolly Zoom - and how to master it with your drone.

Cliff is a world-traveling photographer and drone expert who has been flying every day for over a decade. That's why he knows exactly how to get that perfect, dramatic shot.

The Dolly Zoom - also known as the Vertigo Effect - is all about creating that surreal, background-stretching shot where the subject stays the same size. With Cliff’s tips, you’ll learn how to pull it off automatically with minimal effort.

We’ll cover drone settings, camera movement, focusing on the subject, and how to enhance the effect.

Whether you're a beginner or already capturing aerial magic, this tutorial will take your drone cinematography to the next level.

This video is part of the Drone Mastery Course, a 7+ hour in-depth course designed to teach you everything you need to know about flying safely and capturing stunning shots with your drone.
