The built-in\u00a0camera stabilizer within After Effects has become incredibly powerful over years of its operation. In 2011 it got even better when Warp Stabilizer feature was introduced. It very quickly became a favorite tool for those who could net yet afford tracking or stabilization equipment. Of course, stabilization tools do have their limitations. You cannot expect a handheld shot from camera operator who is running to be fixed in post.<\/p>\n

But what if you need the opposite effect? What if you have stable footage and\u00a0need to introduce camera shake? Can you do this within your NLE?<\/p>\n

There could be a number of reasons you would want to do this. If the edit isn’t creating the emotion you want to convey, adding handheld movement to a static shot might help bring the scene to life.<\/p>\n

Check the short film below, Apricot by Ben Briand<\/a>, <\/strong>for an example of a static scene moving to handheld. Throughout the course of the dinner table conversation the shots are static and have fluid movement, but towards the end when Madeline becomes unsettled with the direction of the conversation the static cinematography switches to handheld to help convey her emotion. Camera movement can be a character itself.<\/em><\/p>\n
