'Ken Burns Effect'

Hi.

I’m interested in Ken’s technique for panning across a photo where the elements of the photo shift perspective in relation to each other. For example: A picture of a street scene where the pan or zoom is accompanied by people and objects seeming to shift their positions independent of the photo itself. Is there a name for this effect? And are there tutorials?

Thanks!

I suppose I haven’t watched any recent Ken Burns documentaries, but his signature old-school ones are simply slow pans of still images – sometimes incorporating a dolly zoom

What you’re describing sounds more like a parallax effect.

Yes, ‘parallax’. That’s the word I was looking for. Thanks! ~S.~
