Re: Zoom anecdote

I stand corrected about truck/dolly terminology. I think you have a good point about the whole zoom discussion. It's very risky, but I think a nice slow zoom, perfectly timed, in a key point of an interview can be dramatic. As Leo remarks, it does call attention to the camera, but that can actually be useful, for example as a "cue" that the film is over. I recently used a slow dramatic zoom-in interiew bite as the last shot in a small museum piece, and it works great.
