The first time I saw that technique done right it blew me away. It was
in the original Jaws, when Sheriff Brody was sitting on the beach and
realized that there was a shark threat in the water with all the
swimmers. He stayed pretty much the same size in the frame but the
background shrank back away from him.
Years before that I saw a shoestring budget student film about some
bikers. They shot a scene from the back of a pickup and the biker would
accelerate toward them while they zoomed to wide angle. It was pretty weird.
