Is it possible to pull focus on a lens while crash zooming?

I don’t know if I’ve already said this but I feel like Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog Day

*wakes to "I Got You Babe"...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Okay thanks. Sorry if I was asking too much or being going around in a circle, I just want to make sure I have covered all options.

I won't need a parfocal lens though, for zooming, as long as I get lens that can pull it off that is not parfocal, like they one they used in the film riot video.

I think what I will do is look for a telephoto lens like that and see what there is. I cannot test every DSLR lens I find online, but maybe there is some way to find out if they can pull off zooms or not.
