The Vertigo Effect

Another top-ranking blog with great information for filmmakers is The Vertigo Effect.

Designed as much as a discussion forum as a straight-forward "This is how you..." blog, The Vertigo Effect nevertheless contains a broad range of useful information, tips, ideas and comment. How about this suggestion for a Filmmaking Mastermind Group? KZN Collectives anyone?

PS - The Vertigo Effect is a camera move made famous by Alfred Hitchcock, but also known as a Dolly Zoom wherein the camera simultaneously zooms in/out and dollies out/in. What the audience sees is a perspective change while the main subject remains the same size on screen. The technique can be used to heighten suspense and more recently for comedic effect.
