I want to begin making several of my brickfilms using the unstable camera effect. Can anyone please help me? I have a vague idea that you just move the camera for each frame, but I want to know if that's the correct and easiest way.
Thanks 
Here's a video ZachMG made for the ToY competition using the effect.

"How do you do those realistic and very well done camera movements? In post editing or moving the camera?

@KrAyZKlAy The movements were all done in-camera. Just takes a lot of patience and diligence."
Yeah, just move the camera in small increments, following all animation principles to make it look lifelike (like someone is holding the camera)
Thanks Rsteenoven!
I love your Youtube tutorials!

If you have a webcam, read this:
They say it's harder to do a shaky/untsable camera effect with a webcam. But if you have the right rigs, it'll be easier. Build a cradle encasing your webcam. Make sure a plate is on the bottom, so you can attach rigs to it. The rigs are going to take up some space, so elavate your set. First, build a rig that allows your webcam to move side to side. Then, build a rig under the first rig that allows it to tilt up and down. By moving both rigs at the same time, you get a shaky camera effect.
In Mindgame's Social Experiment, the shakey camera effect was done using Adobe After Effects' 'random wiggle' effect. It's an expensive programme, though.
