    I’m looking to create the vibration/buzzing effect similar to the one used on MK12’s Untitled:EXP:Infinity piece. It’s the part where the man crossing the bridge-like structure zips across quickly. If there’s an expression I could write for the position and opacity and someone could put me in the right direction, I’d appreciate it greatly.

    What is: “MK12’s Untitled:EXP:Infinity” … ?
    Is it a movie ?
    Can you provide a link to that shot you were referring or something similar ?
    You should be more specific about the effect you are trying to achieve, in order for someone to be able to assist you…

    It’s a short film that’s part of the in house work they did from 2001. The effect comes a little less than halfway through the film with the man crossing the bridge/platform(just before the close-up of the microphone). Here’s the film:

    I saw what you mean.
    Try using a sin expression for the position, and enable motion blur.
    You could start with something like:

    Amplitude = 50;
    Frequency = 15;
    x = Amplitude*Math.sin(time*2*Math.PI*Frequency);
    value + [x,0]

    play with the Amplitued and Frequency.

    Looks like that’ll put me in the right direction. I’ll play around with the Amp and Frequency and see what I can come up with. Thanks for your help!
