    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how they did the post zooms in the boxing scene on Snatch? Here’s the link:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT_pS_4OO7E&feature=related
    The first one is about 42 seconds in. Is it a blending of two shots? Is that motion blur effect being added to the mix, what’s creating the feathering as it zooms in?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!!

    (Only watched the first one)
    I believe this is an actual zoom, a bit in slomo.
    Then perhaps a morph / repos to the close shot, as timing of the reaction is critical for the effect to work.
    (and it is a really fast paced movie anyways, so a few frames more before the facial expression would be killing.)

    I agree, this looks like an actual zoom in, slowed down with added motion blur.
