I found this modifier useful for achieving the trick of the standing car and the moving landscape.

Cool idea. I’m just trying to understand this modifier now. Do you know how the control object distance relates to the UV image warping?
Excellent results. I will definitely store this tutorial for when I start to study animation in Blender.
Muchas gracias!
Edit:
This physical effect is called “Motion parallax” I think. Does anyone know if in movies/animations it have a technical name?
Edit 2:
In google images you can find some seamless landscapes that may be useful for long scenes.
Thanks Yafu & Hammers.
Hammers: The control object distance doesn´t affect the UV image. It just will move it along two axis.
Cool. Disney studios used a multi plane rostrum camera decades ago and seamless loops for backgrounds are certainly a staple of the industry.
