Automated jitter

[Tore]

I wonder if it is possible in some way to add a slight (or not so slight) automatic random jitter to an object?

This could be to a camera (to make it look handheld), to a character (ie to make it look like it is freezing),

or to a light (to make it look like a faulty flickering lightbulb)?

I'm sure there's an easier way to do this but I thought about using the squetch rig and animating a walk cycle and constraining a camera to it. I know someone here can totally explain it better.

Another way to do camera jiggle might be to make a loopy, tangled path in front of the camera and aim the camera at a Null that was on the path on a path constraint.

Aaahh! Wonderfull solutions!! Just what I needed! Haven't touched on A:M expressions beforel, so great to get an intro to that! Thx a lot :-)

To keep from over complicating your animation and Choreography, just render each frame slightly larger.

 

Then do your camera jitter in a post program like After Effects. You can take real camera footage and key

the motion of it in the post AP..... Then just key your animated frames to that footage and it will move

with the match move data.

 

This may sound complexed, but it can actually be done fairly easily in just a few steps. There are some good

resources for doing that out there.

 

Just a suggestion.
