History Main / VertigoEffect

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* ''Anime/GhostInTheShell1995'' used this technique digitally in 1995, when it was hailed as a major advance in 3D animation.

* ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'' uses this for its 'weird feeling' effect in a shot of a doorway to the collapsed roof of the 55 Central Park West tower. The commentary track between the director, main actor, and director of photography addresses that they considered themselves to be pioneering the technique -- Creator/HaroldRamis jokingly suggesting "Scorsese ripped you off!"

** ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'': Two vertigo effects right after another appear showing Ross and Blonsky's reactions when Banner turns into the Hulk on the college campus.

* Used prolifically in ''Film/EvilDead2013''.

* FTL jumps in ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003''.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E7TheUnicornAndTheWasp "The Unicorn and the Wasp"]]: Lady Eddison gets a zoom-in on her in this fashion when [[spoiler:she realizes that the reverend is the illegitimate child she gave up for adoption decades ago]].
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour "The Eleventh Hour"]] has a scene shot from the Doctor's point of view, as he scans the Leadworth village green for inconsistencies. Eventually, he hones in on a disguised Prisoner Zero, whose background and shadow stretches out behind him in classic Vertigo style. Particularly odd example, as it's not shot conventionally — rather, it's a series of snapshots strung together.
%%** And earlier that season, PlayedForLaughs in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E1PartnersInCrime "Partners in Crime"]].

* Used in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' when sprinting. Even if you're out of combat, i.e. you cannot sprint, holding the sprint button will cause this effect without actually making you go faster.

* ''[[http://www.pinefest.net/ Pinefest]]'', a.k.a. ''[[http://www.pinefest.net/ You are Now Entering Ashburg]]'' (some scenes [=NSFWish=] due to sketchily-drawn violence and gore) uses it in in the bottom panel of [[http://www.pinefest.net/archives/comic/the-first-excursion-16 this strip]], as one of many animated gif effects used throughout the comic..

* The ''Film/{{Vertigo}}'' shot (and quite a bit of Hitchcock's oeuvre) is parodied on an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'' with Sylvester in the place of the main character, and since it's WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes, the shot is exaggerated to the point of hilarity.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** In the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E3CastleManeia Castle Mane-ia]]", Applejack and Rainbow Dash explore the old Castle of the Two Sisters. This shot is done on both of them when they think they see a ghost in one of the tapestries.
** In the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E24EquestriaGames Equestria Games]]", Spike first sees how big the crowd is at the stadium and the camera pushes in on him [[OhCrap panicking]].
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E18YakitySax Yakity-Sax]]", when Twilight drops the bombshell to Pinkie that they think she's not good at the yovidaphone and should give it up, there is a zoom on Pinkie Pie while the background is getting farther away.

* Occurs in the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Not What He Seems" when Mabel sees an old news article about [[spoiler: Grunkle Stan's faked death]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MrHublot'': Done with Mr. Hublot when he sees that his gigantic dog got a little too excited and completely trashed his living room.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': This happens in "The One That Got Away", when Roger discovers that Sidney Huffman is actually one of his personas that has taken on a life of its own.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Used in "Lethal Weapons" when Brian sees an swarm of New Yorkers descending on the town to watch the leaves change color.
-->''"LEAFEEEEERS!!!"''
* In ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'', when Tony Stark exposes Obidiah Stane of hiring Ghost to steal the Iron Man blueprints to the Board of Directors of Stark International, he blurts out that his criminal days are over. When Stane remembers that Iron Man said those exact same words to him at a demonstration of the Iron Monger, causing him to realize that Tony is Iron Man, the camera digitally pulls back and zooms in on Stane’s face as he flashes back to that moment right after the Board removes Stane from his position of [=CEO=].
* ''WesternAnimation/AnOstrichToldMeTheWorldIsFakeAndIThinkIBelieveIt'' is a StopMotion cartoon that is heavy on MediumAwareness, with an outer camera showing the whole plasticine set while the "main" cartoon takes place on a different camera's monitor in the center of the frame. Neil is the protagonist, an office drone who eventually starts figuring out that he's actually a plasticine figure in a stop-motion cartoon. As the realization hits home for him, the camera does a dolly zoom to show his horror and disorientation--but it ''also'' {{doll|y}}ies back far enough to again show the entire plasticine set for the cartoon.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'': In "Asparagus", Bluey's BigNo when she sees Bingo eating the asparagus, which she had been using as a magic wand to subject the others to pretend {{Animorphism}}, has the camera simultaneously zoom in on her face and zoom the background further out.

zoom in with the lens, then pan back the camera''

* ''WesternAnimation/AnOstrichToldMeTheWorldIsFakeAndIThinkIBelieveIt'' is a StopMotion cartoon that is heavy on MediumAwareness, with an outer camera showing the whole plasticine set while the "main" cartoon takes place on a different camera's monitor in the center of the frame. Neil is the protagonist, an office drone who eventually starts figuring out that he's actually a plasticine figure in a stop-motion cartoon. As the realization hits home for him, the camera does a dolly zoom to show his horror and disorientation--but it ''also'' dollies back far enough to again show the entire plasticine set for the cartoon.

* Subtly used in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', when Hiccup and Astrid [[spoiler:see the Red Death for the first time]].

* A huge, hilarious version is used to comic effect in ''Film/TheMask'', to show how Stanley and Charlie [[HeadTurningBeauty have their eyes glued on Tina]].
* ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}'' uses this for its 'weird feeling' effect in a shot of a doorway to the collapsed roof of the 55 Central Park West tower. The commentary track between the director, main actor, and director of photography addresses that they considered themselves to be pioneering the technique -- Creator/HaroldRamis jokingly suggesting "Scorsese ripped you off!"

** Used twice as a visual shorthand for Peter Parker's SpiderSense in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', the first when Peter senses [[spoiler:the Goblin [[SplitPersonalityTakeover taking control of]] Norman]] and the second when [[spoiler:all [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy three]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries Spider]]-[[Film/MCUSpiderManTrilogy Men]] sense the bomb the Goblin planted in the MacGuffin]].

* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:

* Used prolifically in the ''Film/{{Evil Dead|2013}}'' remake.

* In ''Film/{{Braindead}}'', this is used in the shot of Lionel's face when he sees [[spoiler:the hyperactive zombies pop out of the ground.]]

* Used subtly in Film/TheBurbs, where a neighborhood of incompetent snoops in a crapsaccharine version of 1980's privileged suburbia are paranoid about their neighbors. Early shots of the Klopek house use this effect to get the viewer to immediately realize Tom Hanks' character Ray thinks something is just ''wrong'' about the place.

* Used in the dream sequences in Truffautt's ''Film/Fahrenheit451'' to give the effect of running down a long corridor without ever getting nearer to the far end.
