Thanks 
I cant win cuz I dont have time the next three weeks! 
I dont think I have a chance either
Camera Movement: My logitech QuickCam pro for Mac (kinda forgot what it really is called...) Was taped to my old Nintendo DS(lol) so I just moved the Ds from side to side! I actually tried it to look a bit like RobBricks entry!
Thanks! I'm just wondering if we will get entries where the earthquake-shake is done in post-production...
I would like to see the difference...
Here's my entry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVrd0J8Tw94
The effect was made by moving the tripod a tiny bit each frame.
You have to understand that if your using a webcam this challenge will be harder. So can we use Post-Production on this one? For the webcam users sake.
THIS IS NOT MY ENTRY
but it was something I did a way while ago, just to show what the earthquake effect could look like in Post-Production.

Not my favorite. It could be a good camera shake or something.

Boardron said that that was also allowed so yes I think you may use it. 
(I'm looking forward to your entry!)

It's supposed to be hard. What's the point if it is simple?
Net generation bah humbug]
How would using a webcam make this harder?
I think he means creating the shaking effect by using the camera would be more difficult as opposed to using an editing software.
Actually, it would be harder to use an editing software to obtain the unpredictability of an earthquake. I would simply move the camera small, but random distances in random directions.

Actually, After Effects has a function called 'Wiggle', which creates random position values based on the numbers you put in.

Actually in Premiere Elements there's an effect called "Earthquake" which I'm tempted to use.

It's up to you how you create the "quake". So postproduction is allowed.

Also a very nice entry! Judging is going to be hard for this challenge.
I made a flat spiny base for my webcam, That's how I move it from right to left. My Logitech webcam has a hinge on it that allows me to move it up and down, just not as smooth as the base I made.

Agreed.
Me too

It's not like it's impossible to do camera movement with a webcam. I've done it. I use Lego-built rigs that attach to my Lego-built webcam cradle. Besides, this is an Animation Challenge, it's supposed to be hard.
