| Whip Pan | comment |
The Whip Pan is the act of panning the camera very rapidly from one subject to another, frequently blurring the image in between the subjects. Used frequently in the more frenetic class of cartoon, in which it is exclusively referred to as "zip pan." Bonus points if it's accompanied by a "whoosh" sound effect or even an actual whip crack. Used occasionally in live-action media to disguise a cut. This can be used to maintain the illusion of The Oner, or occasionally to make two scenes shot in completely different places seem like they're both in one setting. Not to be confused with a kitchen utensil used by dominatrices. |

A similar blurring effect was used in the Narbonic story arc, "Dave Davenport Has Come Unstuck in Time" to show jumps between different points in Dave's life. Especially seen in the last week of strips, when things are about to collapse. | |

Experimental film Dog Star Man 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 Mind Screw story about a man struggling to chop down a tree that seems to also be an allegory about existence. | |

Used in one scene of A Page of Madness, a film set in an insane asylum, to rapidly pan around to various insane inmates doing their crazy things. The speed of the cutting increases until the camera is left simply spinning for a little bit, to symbolize confusion. | |

10 O'Clock Live uses this every time they transition between different parts of the set. Odd as it's a live show and so it isn't really necessary but it presumably makes it easier to put out out clips of the show to post online. | |

The Ace Attorney games will often whip pan 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). | |

Citizen Kane - Uses an artificial whip pan in the breakfast table montage showing the deterioration of Kane's first marriage. They are not true whip pans because the camera does not actually pan to or from the subject; instead, cross-dissolves and super-impositions are used to simulate whip pans. | |
