How To: Shuddering Camera?

Greetings!

 

I am about to be working on an animation, and I want the camera to shudder as some jets fly by. Before they get there, I want the camera to be still, and while they're on screen, I want the camera to shudder. I assume I have to animate this by hand, but it's not something I've had great success with before. Does anyone have any advice for parameter shifts? I dont' want shaky-cam that makes it impossible to really tell what's going on, I just want it to shudder some with the jets.

 

Thank you.

    One option would be to parent the camera to a null - you can then add small offsets to the nulls coordinates for the judder without having to fiddle with the camera's own settings.

    If so, I wonder how many frames you're gonna need with what value set in FPS... so as to really make a good "shuddering effet" from this animation ~~

    That's kind of what I'm wondering. I'm being REALLY ambitious and doing 60FPS. I need about 11 seconds for these scenes, but only half of them are shuddering frames, so of the 720 frames, it looks like 360 should be shuddering.
