== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' in the Season 3 finale was another variation, the shot zooming out from a battle to show the entire Galaxy before zooming back in at a nearby area to show how close the fleet were to Earth, though given the sizes involved they could be right next to it and never have found it without help.
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' began the episodes "Rose", "The Christmas Invasion", "The Runaway Bride" and "The Eleventh Hour" this way.
* The ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' episode "Three Days of Snow" has a zoom out from Ted and Barney to a view of a huge nor'easter bearing down on the east coast.
* ''Drive'' would often start a scene high enough to show the entire USA (complete with superimposed map labels), then close in on our current location. It would also sometimes back up into the sky a bit and refocus on another team's location hundreds of kilometers away, to establish the distance.
* ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' did a zoom-out to accompany Sheldon's literal [[Shout -Out]] to [[The Khan]].
** Also done in the season 5 finale, when the guys have Howard's wedding on the roof of their building so that it gets photographed by the Google Earth satellite.
* Veteran [[The Beautiful Game|football]] show ''Match of the Day'' does this to introduce a game, zooming in from "geostationary orbit over Britain" to "Goodyear Blimp cruising over the stadium in question" in a second or so.
