I have no idea how to achieve this, I have attempted it it before in the past, and even though it seems I was moving the camera ever so slightly, it turns out there was a 9.5 mega-quake on the set:lol: I just want to have have a slight shakey cam effect, such as teh one used in FancyPants "the game" or ZackMG's " The Profession" Please help.
Watch Fancypants' tutorial
I don't know about The Profession, I but I know for a fact that the shakycam in MindGame's Social Experiment was done in Adobe After Effects (the zooms were added there too, but the focus was done in-camera). Doing something like that as you're filming is nigh-on impossible...
Fancypants is great at camera movements during the production stage. If you have a webcam however you probably want to use keyframing in Post Production.
I use a nikon coolpix, so i might be able to try it and practice more during production.
I keyframe.:) 
if you're doing it in post-production, the biggest thing to keep in mind is to not only adjust the position of the frame, but also adjust the rotation. it really helps to sell the effect.
Shaky cam can be achieved without any expensive software (but I highly recommend it). It takes a LOT of time and effort to do it without the software though. You can achieve it by doing this: first make a pattern for how you want to make your camera move, like a figure 8 for example and then little by little move the camera in that pattern.
