Tutorial: Adding Procedural Camera Shake

Camera-shake is a modern, popular film mechanism that adds a level of believability to draw you, the viewer, into the action. Cloverfield is an infamous example – too much of a good thing.

Adding this aesthetic to an animation can have the same drawing effect in a positive way. This video demonstrates how to do this procedurally using Blender’s f-curve noise modifier. Just remember what Uncle Ben said: “With great power comes great responsibility.” Shake your cameras responsibly.
