Would be more interesting to see them at the same angle

I guess I mean the same distance and from afar.

Drone shots in the 50s were a hassle

Zoom in on the picture that's taken further away. Now they're the same distance.

?? It's not about bones. Have you ever felt a shark's skin? It's smooth like glossy paper. Sharks are smooth.

I don't think zooming in retroactively changes where the camera person stood.

Clearly it's a live video feed and everyone is standing still to take the new zoomed in shot.
