As for speed, it all depends on the point of view and the point of reference.
For me, who is very calm, everything moves quickly around me.
There, these 2 boys seem to be running at different speeds but we can definitely feel the speed.
The one on the left is taking off

Avec son pendant, la relativité du net et du flou. Le rendu "tremblé" comme l'est la vie! Bonne journée nettement chaleureuse !
