Shake on it!.

[Don Bloom]

Well to address 2 issues here. FIRST to get the shake look, you can either use keyframing in PAN/CROP and move it around yourself or look around and find the VEGASQUAKE script which was free. I don’t recall where I found it a couple of years ago but it should do the trick.
As for the bombing and shaking and the camerapeople not moving around, having spent a “bit of time” in RVN I can tell you from personal experience that 1) after a while you got to be able to tell which were out going and which were incoming, it was the latter that “shook” you. 2nd, I doubt sriously that the camera was locked down, I NEVER saw that and I saw a few TV crews come thru but the camera operators were for the most part some of the balliest people I even met. Some were vets of Korea, some WWll, some just had spent a lot of time in RVN and knew when to run and cover and when they didn’t need to. More than a few neople on these crews were wounded and some were KIA-and all they had to shoot back with was a camera.
Don’t make the shake too pronounced because unless it was a 1000 pounder landing with in a kilometer they would have heard it but probably not felt it.
