Vibrato effect

ok, i'm probably not going to explain this right, but here it goes--

i've seen an effect on tv spots/movies/MV's/etc. where a moving image stops on a still & then a wild vibrato effect occurs where the images shakes violently left to right & expands. I think they may have used it in The Matrix or some other action flick lately.

Anyhow, I've tried doing it with two layers of a still, keeping one locked in place & the other at a lowered opacity, then placing some position keyframes about 1/2 inch to the left and 1/2 inch to the right of the original's position, then adding the Wiggler and some motion blur. No luck; it looks pretty choppy & weak.

Does anyone know of a better way to do this? I'm going to experiment with an increasing amount of gaussian blur.
 
Re: Vibrato effect

If you're using "The Wiggler", i'm assuming you're trying this in AE?
 
Re: Vibrato effect

Sorry, I meant to post this in the After Effects forum...

I'm using Final Cut Pro for editing & AE for compositing.
 
Re: Vibrato effect

earthquake does a good job, or just keep experimenting with the wiggler and keyframing at different velocities until you find the look you're after.
 
Re: Vibrato effect

is he refering to the effect that was used in "fight club" whereas its shakes the frame just b4 the film burns and dissolves.



sorry bout referencing a film some of u probaly havent seen, but thats the only place i seen the effect used.
 
Re: Vibrato effect

Earthquake is exactly what I'm looking for!

Any tips on recreating this look easily with the Wiggler?
