Dollying

/ˈdɒlɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of 'dolly': moving something on a dolly or wheeled platform, or filming with a camera dolly to create movement.

Etymology

From 'dolly' (the wheeled platform) plus the present participle suffix '-ing.' In film terminology, this became standard vocabulary in the early-to-mid 20th century.

Kelly Says

The camera 'dolly' technique revolutionized filmmaking because it let directors move the camera smoothly through space—before that, cameras were stationary, making films feel more like watching a play through a window!
