Ha!! Thats awesome ive never thought of the idea of actually linking tracking data from an actual hand held shot to make the camera shake effect. Nice!! i usually just use Aftershake, the free plugin andrew made for VC.

[BlueCastStudios]

@wrenthereaper I agree. I stumbled across someone saying that this is the best way to get camera shake, and in many ways it totally makes sense.

whats the sun ray plugin called? and is it free? where can i get it?

[baramin5kx]

@wrenthereaper Same here. I would of thought of using a wiggle effect. But it wouldnt be as natural as copying a tracking data from another footage. Organic Motion Tracking. Nice!

Awesome tutorial! The most extensive part was the lightwrap lol. Digital Tutors has a quicker effective way also. and Even more lazier, Red Giant Has a Light Wrap Effect with one click. Gotta love plugins. Makes you focus more on the creative end
