Hi people,
I am going on a shoot tommorrow and need some information. There will be a scene where a mini-van blows up, . . . or so I want the viewer to think it did. Is there a special effect in FCP that gives the frame a certain amount of 'shake' or vibration', or is this something where I actually have to shake the camera during the shoot? I will be 'shaking' the clip where an onlooker witnesses the carnage through his rear-view mirror. By the acting of the witness and the shaking of the camera and a little smoke I hope to 'sell' the scene.
Sorry if this question sounds very Rooky-ish. It is probably a very simple basic effect that I should know. Up until this point I have avoided camera shake like the plague.
