How would I make this type of handheld camera effect?

Hey everyone,
I suck at camera manipulation very badly so I really need all the help that I can get.

How would I make this type of, handheld camera effect like in this video:

It’s pretty easy to spot how the camera kinda moves around instead of being still with a tween.

Any help is appreciated as always.

I would use a CFrame value so we can keep this in the cutscene script and be able to tween it. Then, in the cutscene script, put something like this:

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local cframeValue = --Path to CFrame value

runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame *= cframeValue.Value
end)

repeat
    local newCFrame
    local newX
    local newY
    local newZ
    
    for count = 1, 3 do
        local randomInt = math.random(0, 25) --Min/max angle
        
        if count == 1 then
            newX = randomInt
        elseif count == 2 then
            newY = randomInt
        else
            newZ = randomInt
        end
    end

    newCFrame = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(newX), math.rad(newY), math.rad(newZ))

    tweenService:Create(cframeValue, TweenInfo.new(0.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {Value = newCFrame}):Play() -- Replace TweenInfo with whatever looks most like the "camera shake" thing

    task.wait(0.3) --Replace time with TweenInfo time
until --Not cutscening

If I were you, I would wrap the repeat until block in a coroutine or just a simple task.spawn to not interfere with the rest of the script. I don’t know what your script looks like though, so I’ll just leave it be.

Hope this helps (and let me know if there are any errors),

Edit 1: Forgot X, Y, Z properties were read-only. Also added math.rad()
