I have often wondered how the effect was created where e.g. in a documentary you see historic black and white photographs slowly 'camera panning' or zooming somewhat from left to right with a perspective shift. Is that also created as a wigglegram on the basis of multiple photographs I wonder, at times where taking a single photograph was an involved process?

They have to take a source photo, decompose it into "layers" (lots of Photoshop I imagine) and then they can parallax the various layers for that depth effect.
