* Experimental film ''Film/DogStarMan'' has many of these, many sequences of the camera constantly whipping around. It's part of the whole movie's motif, which includes many out-of-focus shots and superimpositions, telling a deliberately MindScrew story about a man struggling to chop down a tree that seems to also be an allegory about existence.

* Robert Rodriguez used whip pans at least once to disguise a cut. Selma Hayek was unable to film with the rest of the cast for some reason, so in one scene, they whip pan back and forth between Selma and a few mooks standing in opposite ends of a room. Of course, each side of the room is a completely different set shot at completely different times.

* We all experience a first-person view of this effect every time we focus our eyes from one object to another, complete with the blurring of vision mid-movement, thanks to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccadic_masking saccadic masking]]. The brain cannot process images fully unless the subject consciously focuses on what's being looked at, so it doesn't bother midway. Thus, the blurring effect translates as such to the cinematic whip pan.

* The ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' games will often WhipPan between the defense and prosecution, most often at the beginning of trials. This also happens between an attorney and the witness in the middle; when panning from one attorney to the other, the witness is not shown (possibly due to graphical limitations on creating a blur effect).
