Expressions with in C4D!
Hey guys- I have an animation of a stereo broken into it’s seperate elements that all fall into place. I’m trying to spice it up a smidge and give it the “vibration” expression. I’m quite familiar with this effect in both AE an Motion, however I’m still quite new at C4D. Everytime I add my vibration expression and hone it in to how I like it, it won’t let me adjust the camera in terms of X or Y or Z for that matter, it just allows me to adjust the zoom or focas length.
I want the camera to start as a wide front shot of everything, then as all the elements begin to move into place, I want to camera to dolly around to the right side of the stereo to a medium angle, all the while everything is shaking.
When everything gets to the correct place I want it to slam together and the vibrations to stop for the stereo to settle into place. I know this is a lot to ask, but if you wouldn’t mind shedding some light on this, it would save me a TON of time on a somewhat time sensitive project. At least the camera problem.
Thanks so much!!

The vibrate expression will take over the camera’s position and rotation (if you have rotation enabled). So either vibrate a null containing an animated camera, or vibrate the camera inside an animated null.
SteadyCam by Lennart Wahlin has great cam dynamics: https://homepage.mac.com/tcastudios/steadycampro.html
I haven’t used Chris Smith’s vibrate expression, but it’s free:
