Applying Camera Shake

Looking to apply subtle camera shake to talking heads to give a more documentary feeling. We looked into whether or not there was a filter to do this in After Effects. Via Video Copilot, we stumbled upon "The Wiggler"

There also exist a few presets that can be downloaded and used in After Effects for this motion:

SurCode

SurCode, by Minnetonka Audio Software, has quickly become the "goto" brand for ready-to-use surround sound technology. SurCode is provided as plug-ins for popular workstations such as Pro Tools, Nuendo, Pyramix, Fairlight, Avid and Final Cut Pro in addition to stand-alone software, or licensable OEM software for most all workstation platforms and operating environments.

We have bought and downloaded the SurCode for Adobe Products and use it via Premiere to export 5.1 Surround Sound to take into Encore for Blu Ray DVD authoring.

Note: Our Adobe Premiere Pro came with a trial version of SurCode that was good for 3 exports before we had to invest. So far, SurCode is the only (and easiest) way to export 5.1 sound from Premiere that we have found.
