Re: Frame independent Camera Shake

You may consider to leave out position shake altogether because slight 
position changes do not show on objects that are further than a few 
meters away. Also, ease back on the camera roll because it makes people 
nauseous. For a racing game I simulated the offset on the yaw and pitch 
by a point mass that was suspended by a spring damper just as how John 
described. The impulses where fed from the actual game physics so the 
camera shake would look more natural (more vertical shake while driving, 
random shake when colliding.)
