There seem to be a lot of tutorials on creating camera shake within blender but I can't find any about creating slow camera sway, as if someone is holding the camera. Is there a way to do this in blender without animating every move or is there a tutorial or addon someone can point me towards? Thanks!

1$\begingroup$ You could go into the curve editor, and a random noise modifier to a curve (try x first) and scale the noise to the desired effect. First you have to add 1 keyframe for whatever property you modify (x position). $\endgroup$– beillerCommented Aug 10, 2015 at 13:18

$\begingroup$ You can change the speed in the noise modifier options. You should be able to get something believable fairly easily. It is basically just a modified form of camera shake. $\endgroup$– J SargentCommented Aug 10, 2015 at 14:23

The best and easy way I found to make easy camera sways is by using the graph editor.
Steps:
- Press
Iwith the camera selected and add a rotation keyframe. - Open up the graph editor and select Camera
Y Euler Rotationfor example. - Click the
Nbutton to pull up the side bar - Click
Add Modifierand selectNoise - Now you have very fast camera shake, but you want swaying, so set the
Scaleto something like 10-20. And set theStrengthto something like 0.2 - 0.05 - Now you could apply this to the other rotations or even some location, but remember to randomize each noise by changing the
Phasevalue for each noise modifier.
Hope that helps!
