How do they film scenes where there is 3d movement of the camera without people moving. Is this the same thing as second example where camera is moving in depth differently between things in foreground and background

Example:

Timestamp in video (but in general many parts of this music video) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTJczUoc26U&list=RDP1tI4VFMRmE&t=65s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTJczUoc26U&list=RDP1tI4VFMRmE&t=65s)

There’s some behind the scenes footage of Stay [here](https://youtu.be/J41JVFDc4B0)
At around the 20s mark they show BTS of the scene you linked to. Background artists freeze still, main talent and camera move.

[Here’s](https://youtu.be/Mfv6gC-Aoo8) an After Effects/Premiere tutorial based around Stay and its freeze time
