How the movement works
To give a documentary feel or the sense of being present in the scene.
- 01Camera: position almost fixed; yaw, pitch, roll and height each get a sum of sine waves with different periods (T = 2π×u/4.7)
- 02Yaw (rad) = 0.016·sin(3T) + 0.008·sin(7T+1) + 0.004·sin(13T+2), at most about ±1.6°
- 03Pitch (rad) = 0.012·sin(4T+2) + 0.006·sin(9T+0.5) + 0.003·sin(17T+1.2), at most about ±1.2°
- 04Roll (rad) = 0.02·sin(5T+1) + 0.008·sin(11T+3), at most about ±1.6°; height = 1.5 + 0.03·sin(6T) m
- 05Subject: a person stands still 6.5 m ahead; the shake runs continuously with no easing or hold
- 06All multipliers are integers, so it loops seamlessly every 4.7 s; top-right readout shows "HANDHELD"
Prompt
Handheld shot following behind the walking person, with only a slight shake.
