Is something big happening in the plot of your movie, TV program, or video game? Need an interesting visual effect to emphasize its importance? How about the All-Purpose Screen Shake? It's simple and conveys the meaning well, works with any situation, and everybody's doing it! It's so easy: All you need to do is shake the screen! It doesn't matter which way you do it — the screen will shake up and down, left and right, or all over the place — it all looks great! Oh, and it might help if you play some sort of a "rumble" sound effect in the background at the same time. If you're doing it for Live-Action TV, don't forget to get the actors to start flinging themselves around. In fact, they are half the job. Subtlety and dignity are best ignored. Supposedly, the casts of the various Star Trek series are very competitive concerning which cast is the best at the "Star Trek Shake". The cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation are allegedly the current champions. Shaking the screen in live-action media has been largely discredited thanks to the fact that it's not always believable though it's a semi-recurring effect in live-action, to make it work requires significant coordination between the cast, camera crew and other special effects. Just having a Jitter Cam is not enough. Nowadays, live action sets can be put on a platform that shakes the entire thing, giving a renewed sense of realism to falling on your ass, but also ramping up the possibility of injury. However, this technique is immensely omnipresent in animation and video games. If the controller supports vibration-feedback, expect it to shake too. There is a version where the shaking is only used for emphasis for something intensive happening that does not have the power to physically make anything shake within the fictional world; it really is just the image shaking. This is related to Painting the Medium. Here are a few examples of situations where (apparently) it's appropriate to apply the Screen Shake (Read: blasphemous if you don't). An earthquake The starship suddenly accelerates or gets attacked Someone activates the Self-Destruct Mechanism or defeats the Load-Bearing Boss and you have five minutes to escape the building (despite the fact that nothing has exploded yet) You finally got to The Very Definitely Final Dungeon and the Big Bad just hits the Big Red Button to put his master plan into action Hitting a switch and something bigger than you has shifted in the other room A giant animal, creature , robot or person walks around and shakes the ground with each footstep or stomping their foot, putting their a giant hand on something or smashing it or trying to crush the characters with their fist or sitting down or trying the crush the character with their butt. An especially huge animal or creature roaring A boss monster fades in or out of existence right before your eyes Explosions Somebody beats you up offscreen A character yelling, screaming, singing, or burping very loudly. A character crashes or falls off-screen. A character falling on-screen A vehicle passing by or going really fast A thing that has magical powers For what this simulates, see Jitter Cam and Camera Abuse. |

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: In an interview for the Syfy network David Hedison admitted the director used a frying pan and an old wooden spoon for "the seaview rock and roll". "He would hit it once and we would throw ourselves in one direction, then again and we would throw ourselves the other way. Eventually we got good at the rock-n-roll. The Seaview rock-n-roll." | |

Mentioned in one of the making-of featurettes for 2012 regarding the early stages of the Biggest Goddamn Earthquake Ever. Emmerich specifically wanted to avoid this trope, so he had an entire suburban neighborhood built in segments atop a series of motion-control platforms to fling the actors around for real. | |

The Addams Family used this for a gag when Morticia mentions that Uncle Fester is looking for gas leaks with a lighted match. Just then, the screen shakes as the house is rocked by a massive explosion, to which Gomez notes "He found one." Screen Shakes were actually a regular part of the show. |

World of Warcraft: Used when near most very large mobile monsters or NPCs. The most notable example may be the infamous Fel Reavers, which at the time of their introduction were one of the largest mobs in the game, and aside from shaking the screen also periodically give a loud mechanical scream. This was, believe it or not, a good thing, mechanically at least: They were also serious Nightmare Fuel (the Reavers were level 70 elite mobs in a level 58-60 zone), and the quaking and scream served as a player's signal to be somewhere else.note They still have a nasty habit of sneaking up on unsuspecting players. Also happens when someone's pet walks by, if they're of a certain type. So you're standing next to the mailbox in Ironforge and the screen just starts shaking, with ominous large-monster footstep sounds... oh, nothing to worry about, it's just some giant slavering three-headed dog that someone tamed. One more piece of awesome rendered commonplace and meaningless by sheer frequency. The original Warcraft strategy games, notably Warcraft III, used this on occasion. In number three this sometimes led to a Game-Breaking Bug where it wouldn't stop, rendering the game borderline unplayable if you were lucky and completely unplayable (the game thought it was still in a cutscene) if unlucky. |

Clifford the Big Red Dog did this at least Once an Episode, nearly every time Clifford would run, jump, or sit. In addition to the shaking, Clifford's heavy impacts on the ground were usually accompanied by the sounds of cymbals crashing. A Running Gag in early episodes was that the shaking would signal Clifford's arrival, and a character would say, "Here comes Clifford." | |

Gladiators (2024): For Nitro's first episode debut he does a very brief dance move to his signature tune, then jumps in the air. A camera effect ensures that the whole stage shakes when he lands.

Red Dwarf One of the outtakes tapes shows the crew stationary while the camera moves around. Half the crew start waving their arms and trying to belatedly shake, in opposing directions. The other half takes longer to catch on, and look sheepishly at the camera while Craig Charles says apologetically, "We weren't ready!" In a sixth-season episode the special effects team, tired of simply shaking the camera, created a real shockwave with real debris, via a huge pressure tank firing a cloud of pulverized cork through the set. The blast knocked Robert Llewellyn out of his chair, embedded cork shrapnel in the back of his mask, and also managed to bruise Danny John-Jules' face. |

Galaxy Quest: Deconstructed. The scenes of the Show Within a Show of use the classic "Star Trek shake" as a homage to that series. In contrast, when the "real" Protector takes a hit, it actually shakes. A DVD Commentary describes the impressive gimbal system that technicians built to rattle the entire set. Their ambition was to create a Defictionalization of this trope. The comments also mention that several crew were injured by this scene-shaking machine. The actors look terrified in these shaky shots, and they admit they weren't acting. |

You'd think all the Star Trek examples (as it is prevalent enough for Trek to be the former Trope Namer) would go without saying, but some deserve special mention: The beginning of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country goes the distance. When the Planar Shockwave hits the Excelsior, people all through it are seen being flung about, from the bridge to engineering to sleeping crew members being dumped out of their beds all at once. On the other hand, the Excelsior and Enterprise bridge sets were actually mounted on gimbals for this movie (hence the otherwise random table right in front of Sulu's seat). Also notable in Star Trek: The Motion Picture during the Wormhole Effect sequence. The old TOS actors wobble relatively sedately, while Persis Khambatta bounces in her seat like a five-year old who just ate an entire bag of candy. Bizarrely, in an early episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation featured the ship going through one of those Timey-Wimey Ball events, complete with the ship shaking violently and sending the crew into the traditional shake. However, a random cut down to the main shuttle bay shows Chief O'Brien completely unaffected by the shaking ship. The infamous Nitpicker's Guide lists this as 'space legs.' The Nitpicker's Guide also notes how extras and guest stars tend to stick out during a Screen Shake because the regular cast have learned to do it in a restrained manner, but the extras and guest stars often do a Narm-ishly exaggerated shake. In one TNG episode, the camera forgets to shake, but the actors remember to shake. Hilarity Ensues. This is actually not the first time that happened. In TOS "The Conscience of the King", after Kirk throws the overloaded phaser out the trash chute and it explodes, he and Spock stumble backwards to the other wall...even though the ship seems to remain stable. Also, look out for the moment the Enterprise enters the Mutara Nebula in Star Trek II. Everyone on the bridge lurches forward, but William Shatner seemingly forgot to. Or Kirk's just that badass. In the TOS episode Balance of Terror, Nichelle Nichols is flung a different direction than everyone else on the bridge fell/flew/was thrown during a big kaboom. Ooopsie. One of the funnier things about TOS was that the idea of bolting or otherwise securing the Bridge chairs to the floor seems to have eluded them. Seat belts would have been handy, given how just about everything can get people thrown around, from battle damage to monsters like the Planet Killer. It should be noted that this shot is not without its risks. In one classic Trek blooper, a woman is heard cursing loudly after a shake-shot. The actress did a bad job of throwing herself at the furniture and broke her arm. Word of God is that many instances in TOS were Executive Meddling. The production team recognized that it would have been much better for the ship being hit by enemy fire in a battle, for instance, to be indicated by the lights flickering briefly and an officer reporting the effect on the ship. The network/studio wanted the more visually interesting shaking. David Gerrold's The World of Star Trek had associate producer Bob Justman being asked by a fan why the chairs on the Enterprise bridge didn't have seat belts. His response: "Because if we did, then the actors couldn't fall out of them!" Parodied in an early Saturday Night Live sketch, where the camera moves a little, the crew sway a little, and Captain Kirk, played by John Belushi says in a bored deadpan, "Yes, terrifying." Also by Jim Carrey's In Living Color! skit where the actors get too old to do this. |

The creators of Lost have admitted that all of the jolts and shakes during the crash of Flight 815 were in fact completely done with the Screen Shake, and in fact referenced Trek in the DVD release of the series. You might say that the time hopping sequences in season 5 were a variation of this trope. None of the actors could see the blaring light, as that effect was added later, so the actor just had to moan and roll on the ground. The DVD shows how funny this must have looked to the crew. |

In Mega Man X2, the screen constantly shakes throughout Wheel Gator's stage, a unique to the Mega Man franchise. This is because the stage is set on a massive dinosaur tank moving through a city, with the stage shaking from the movement. Oddly enough, the screen stops shaking when you reach Wheel Gator's Boss Room, even though it's still seen moving through the city through a window in the background. | |

Final Fantasy The early, 2D games used this a lot. Some examples include the party leaving the Floating Continent and the arrival of a passenger meteorite. In Duodecim, the sequel to Dissidia Final Fantasy, the screen subtly shakes with Feral Chaos's every move.

Lost in Space: In one of the third-season episodes, the entire crew of the Jupiter 2 undergoes the Shake. Except for Dr. Smith, who doesn't seem to be bothered. A staple of works by Irwin Allen. Before it became more strongly associated with Star Trek, this technique was frequently called the "Irwin Allen Rock and Roll". |

Done very subtly (and more believably) in the original Alien as the Nostromo gets turbulence descending through the atmosphere of the planetoid. That would be because aside from the screen shaking, the chairs the actors were sitting in were also hooked up to a paint mixer, so they were really shaking. |

Doctor Who: In the New Series, the TARDIS is somewhat more... rickety than previous, and so requires its passengers to give a little Screen Shake more often. Until the Doctor whacks the console with a mallet, of course... "Blink": To create the effect of the Angels rocking the TARDIS, Carey Mulligan and Finlay Robertson threw themselves around the set while the camera operator shook the camera in the opposite direction. "Midnight": The passengers of the shuttle bus are thrown around a bit when the cockpit is ripped off by the entity. "The Name of the Doctor": When the TARDIS crash-lands on Trenzalore the Doctor and Clara are sent flying across the console room. Before shooting Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman were specifically told not to swing on the railing surrounding the console. Matt Smith decided to ignore that instruction and on the first take threw himself at the railing and swung on it. |

Justified in The Murderbot Diaries because it's caused by shifts in Artificial Gravity caused by sudden maneuvers, through Murderbot notes that it's not like the media it compulsively watches, with only flickering lights and a difficulty in walking straight (or if you're unlucky, getting slammed into a bulkhead) to indicate you're under attack, if you're not connected to the feed. | |

Episodes of Spongebob Squarepants from season 2 and beyond would also use this effect in certain situations, sometimes added normally, and sometimes digitally added (though for the latter case, unlike the Dexter's Laboratory example above, there's no obvious slight picture zoom-in where the effect would take place). The season 1 episode, "Neptune's Spatula" is the only episode from that season to add this effect digitally in certain shots early in the episode; although, unlike in episodes in later seasons, there is a slight picture zoom-in when each screen shake would occur. |

However, a random cut down to the main shuttle bay shows Chief O'Brien completely unaffected by the shaking ship. The infamous Nitpicker's Guide lists this as 'space legs.' | |
