Would anyone be able to direct me to the geared mechanism that zooms in accordance with the Dolly move?

Jan how did your shoot go? Can you share your final with us here?

I may be wrong, but I think the phones have been rendered in CG. Most of the product images these days from Apple etc are rendered from 3D Models in Keyshot. I could be wrong, but my guess is the phones are CGI. At a couple of points, I see the screen edge highlights below the finger of the hand. If I was shooting this for Samsung, I know they'd want their phones looking 'perfect' and would do the same.

I recently enjoyed watching HUMAN by The Movie by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, and was struck by the diverse locations as well as the diverse yet strange unified lighting theme. Using a dark (black) background Bertrand has literally focused all our attention onto the face of the moment. With mostly natural, frontal (sometimes toppish) lighting, which is virtually shadowless, every pore, freckle, line and emotion is bared front and center for us to soak in. Does anyone have any thoughts on the why, how and what on this? Has anyone tried to recreate this? All Images © HUMAN by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. All Rights Reserved.
