How could I possibly make a dizzy screen effect?

I want to have a dizzy screen effect for my game (Camera warping and distortion)
I have been using CFrame matrix in order to distort the frame, however I have been unable to make it transition gradually between each warp. Most attempts have resulted in the camera moving to 0,0,0. I have also tried tweening but that doesn’t seem to work.
If anyone could tell me how to transition between camera warps using the CFrame matrix that would be fantastic.

To clarify, I am relatively new to scripting.

If you want to gradually progress something, you can use linear interpolation (lerp). Linear interpolation - Wikipedia

Also, realize there’s a difference between global space and local space when doing stuff with coordinates.

Is this u want?


Put this in StarterPlayerScripts:

local CameraShaker = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.CameraShaker) -- Unneccessary, but u can remove it.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local spinRadius = 10
local distortionIntensity = 0.2 
local duration = 3

local camShake = CameraShaker.new(Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, function(shakeCFrame)
	camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * shakeCFrame
end)
camShake:Start()
camShake:ShakeSustain(CameraShaker.Presets.BadTrip)

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(duration, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, -1, false)

local function updateCamera()
	if not rootPart then return end

	local targetPosition = rootPart.Position
	local startCFrame = CFrame.new(targetPosition + Vector3.new(spinRadius, 2, 0), targetPosition)

	local spinTween = TweenService:Create(
		camera,
		tweenInfo,
		{CFrame = startCFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(360), 0)}
	)
	spinTween:Play()
end

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if not rootPart then return end

	updateCamera()

	local distortionFactor = math.sin(workspace.DistributedGameTime * math.pi / duration) * distortionIntensity
	local distortionMatrix = CFrame.new(
		0, 0, 0,
		1, distortionFactor, 0,
		distortionFactor, 1, 0,
		0, 0, 1   
	)

	camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * distortionMatrix
end)

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(newCharacter)
	character = newCharacter
	rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	updateCamera()
end)
