Faking hand held camera movement?

[zuzzabuzz]

I like using Noisy Channel. Luckily, my virtual camera work is almost as crappy as my real life camera work. I tend to have a target null, move it around often (too much)..maybe every 20-40 frames. Same with the camera. Makes for a queezy ride. :)
But, definitely gets that handheld look once noisy channel is applied as well.

There's a plugin called Twitch that might do what you want. Try searching on Flay.com for it.

We just had a discussion about this very same subject at Star Wreck's board (http://www.starwreck.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1459), after my rather crappy "hard ways to do it" guides Samuli Torssonen actually gives out a simple shakycam null rig which is slider-controlled so go check it out.

I made this animation a long time ago with LW 5.6 (3 mb)

I don't know if the tool was named noisy channel back then but I remember that I did some tweaks after the keyframes were made, because the extreames were too much. The thing that made it more realistic was the zoom. Maby think about that too.
