In this article we use the noise on the virtual camera to create more natural camera movement.

Preparing the Scene

We start of with the usual steps to create a cutscene.

Director’s Notes

Blocking the Scene

Animate the Actors in the Timeline

Create a zoom in effect

Using Noise to create a less mechanical shot

The noise makes it more like a camera (wo)man is holding the camera and moving a bit.

Select Virtual Camera > Inspector > Noise > Basic Multi Channel Perlin (drop down)

Definition > tiny circle > Select a preset

The result of adding some extreme handheld noise as an example.

Final Result

The result with a menu animation at the end, fade in/out and some noise.
