Moving background effect

[CHNL]

Hi,

For a show I've been provided with a still image, people want to use as a backdrop. In a certain scene explosions are heard and, in sync, I would like to have this still image moving (multiple times slightly up/down, left/right as if the whole stage is shaking) giving the impression of being impacted by these explosions. What's the best way to approach this? Using fade cues and apply x/y/z rotation? Or might there be a different way?

regards

CH

The best way would probably be using AfterEffects and the wiggle effect. Do you have AE at your disposal?

Unfortunately not. Therefore currently looking for a solution in QLAB itself.

You could use a couple fade cues in QLab and give the fade curve a bunch of peaks and valleys so that the image shakes on the way to its destination.

Get with the program. Shake with the script

repeat 10 times

set xxx to (random number from -100 to 100)

set yyy to (random number from -100 to 100)

set shakecue to "1"

tell application id "com.figure53.qlab.3" to tell front workspace

set translation x of cue shakecue to xxx

set translation y of cue shakecue to yyy

end tell

delay 0.1

end repeat

tell application id "com.figure53.qlab.3" to tell front workspace

set translation x of cue shakecue to 0

set translation y of cue shakecue to 0

end tell

remember to have custom geometry enabled on the shake cue
