Vertigo Shots in Many Movies

It's really hard to do. Takes so much practice.

i dont know why scorsese decided to use one in that goodfellas scene, it doesnt really need it?

Yes it's true! When I watched the movie, at the beginning of the scene, i tought that there was something important with the white car but no, nothing! It's weird!

I think Scorsese was just having a bit of fun with that particular shot.

the use of the tormbone shot in goodfellas is the following:
at this point in the film Henry is learning that Jimmy in fact isn't his friend or is working for his best interest, thus the shot pretends to show how the world is falling on Henry as his problems accumulate over him.

hope it helps :)

It makes the background look unnatural and threatening and creates a paranoid atmosphere, which is how the main character feels after he realizes that his friend plans to kill him

I have a headache T^T

man the most weird effect ever
it like you moving closer to the backround but you not lol

so thaaaats how they do that "effect" lol

There's a good one in charlies angels
