This technique is used in a lot of classic films (ie: Vertigo, Jaws, good fellas, etc). So in this tutorial you will be: Animating camera focal lenth Animating basic movement of camera using a cube or a plain to get perfection If you want you can use a plain to line up the camera, to get more perfection, but I personaly prefer a cube so it doesn’t look to CG and give it a bit of imperfection. Final Result: Watch the tutorial:  Push Pull Camera Effect Blender 2.5 tutorial from Blender Nerd on Vimeo.
