@oldiesfan91 Hitchcock didn't actually create or invent it, but he did use it. The actual effect was made by one of his cameramen.

that is really disorienting

I discover this effect with my Sony Ericsson k800i camera before I ever seen something like this.
-
@MDMart actually, it's really called, "that one weird 3-d looking thing that they do"
-
Alright buddy, let me shoot you dead with this post.
Type in "dolly zoom" in Wikipedia. There's a paragraph titled Alternative Names and among the many listed are all of the ones that you mentioned being "incorrect".
So, so long and keep eating that cookie Marty.

@KillBrownFictionDogs Dear Mr. Troll. The mistake is not the same, dude. Mine was a spelling mistake, their's was a knowledgable mistake, which woulda been ok if they didn't continually argue about which one it's actually called.
-
No but I obviously hurt yours. Anyway, it's just oh so ironic that you make a mistake in a post where you call out on other people who made one. Thence, I thought I'd give you a cookie made from your own dough.
Now shut up and eat it.

@KillBrownFictionDogs aww, did i misspell a word? Did that hurt your feelings, mr. troll?

In the mean time, you stop calling Vertigo "Virtigo".

How about Push in - Zoom out? I like it
People please stop saying it's called something else. It's called so many things it's insane. Dolly in, reverse dolly, reverse tracking, reverse zoom, dolly out, zolly, zoom dolly, Virtigo effect, Jaws effect, Hitchcock effect, Spielberg effect, trombone effect,, uhh. I can't remember the rest. But it was first used in Virtigo by Hitchcock. And it was invented/discoveret a camera guy (of Hitchcock's) named Irmin Roberts

@silentassassin125 Actually, it wasn't Stanley Kubrick's signature shot, his was just the slow zoom. Is was Hitchcock's signature shot method, hence the reason its nickname is the "Hitchcockian" or "Vertigo" shot =)
