The zoom transition is OK for a fast crash zoom effect, otherwise it's pretty limited you want more.

Re: How did they fake the zooms in this music video?

Thank you, that makes sense. Well people tell me to just move the camera back or forth instead of zooming, and I keep reading to do this instead as well, but when it comes to fast movement, is there a way to move the camera faster than a person can physically run with it?

Hang out of the windows from a speeding car, the faster you drive the faster the zoom will be.

Those are different, the perspective doesn't change when you zoom. As mentioned, you can mount the camera on a vehicle of some sort.

You can do a speed ramp going faster, rather than slow motion, on the camera move if you want to go with that effect.

I could do the speed ramp going faster, it's just that I am worried it may come off as fast motion with the actors moving faster as well, which may lead to an unintentional eye brow raise. But, I guess the same thing happens if you do it in post as well, so it's no difference?

As always, it's how you do it and if it's a stylistic choice that works. That's a decision you need to make, since we don't know your proposed film.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Well so far I wanted to use a crash zoom effect once in a while to show reveals such as guys waiting to ambush another guy when he steps into a room for example.

Or this was the intention of the crash zoom effect I had mind so far.

The appears to be what you mentioned before.

Either method will work. With good timing and suitable action, so that the actors move slower during the speeded up camera move, the audience may not be aware of any trickery in the final film.

It's all in how it's done.
