And rarely well:-)
Lots of people try to do shakeycam, but fewer really understand the
technique and have the framing skills to pull it off. It is too often
unmotivated and a gimmick to jazz up glazed eyeballs into thinking
something interesting is going on.
This effect is sometimes also added in post using motion-tracking
software. or Simple DVE keyframes (a lot of 'em) or expressions ties
to soemthing like the peaks of an audio file, which makes the camera
shot bounce in time with a loud drum on the set, etc. It is harder to
make it look realistically random this way, takes more work. Look at
Scifi's Battlestar Galactica space combat scenes: they make use of this
effect extensively to make the space combat look more "real", as if a
hand-held camera in the hands of a combat photographer was clinging to
the bucking hull of a thrashing starship. I think they WAY over-do that
effect; the motion blurs mean you can get away with less detail than if
it's all very locked-down and smooth. But it makes me queasy:-P
