Actually I already thought about that but I saw a lot of scene where the subject moves normally (not moving slowly then time lapse the surrounding)..

I will look like not moving normally when I will do that technique. But if that's the only way, then I'll try my best to move slowly but looks like natural in output.

Thanks.

<p>How to edit/shoot a scene where the <strong>person(subject)</strong> in center moves normally while the <strong>surroundings(background)</strong> moves faster?</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<p>I'm walking in the street but the cars and other people that passes me are faster than me.</p>

<p><strong>P.S.</strong> I can't find it in youtube or other blogs because I don't know the term of this kind of technique yet.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-03-28)

How to edit/shoot a scene where the **person(subject)** in center moves normally while the **surroundings(background)** moves faster?

Example:

I'm walking in the street but the cars and other people that passes me are faster than me.

**P.S.** I can't find it in youtube or other blogs because I don't know the term of this kind of technique yet.

BTW, I am a newbie.
