# Camera Shake
To start using Camera Shake you simply have to add the `CameraShakeController` to your camera.
{% hint style="info" %}
It is recommended to add a parent to the Camera and have **all** movement logic in the parent instead. This will allow you to move the camera **and** apply shakes without it interferring with each other.
{% endhint %}
Now we can start creating a `Shake` object that stores all the configuration of a shake. Create a new `Shake` object by right-clicking the project and selecting `Create/Essentials/Camera/Shake`.
If you select the newly created `Shake` object you will see a couple of settings:
{% hint style="info" %}
You can hover any property to see a tooltip explaining what it means and what it does.
{% endhint %}
Whenever you want to active the Camera Shake; you will need a reference to the `Shake` object. We can get this by simply exposing it in the inspector (alternatively, we can create a static reference letting us provide a string, or name of the desired shake and it will look it up and find it. This will be explained further later):
```csharp
public class TestShaker : MonoBehaviour
{
public CameraShake shake;
private void Start()
{
CameraShakeController.DoShake(shake);
}
}
```
We can also see in the example above how we can start a shake: `CameraShakeController.DoShake(shake);`.
### Shake Configuration
To store a reference to a specific `Shake` object without exposing a property in the inspector for every script that triggers a camera shake, use a `Shake Config` object.
Like the pooling, we need to create a `Resources` folder anywhere in the project. Inside this project we should create a `Shake Config` by right-clicking under the folder and go to `Create/Essentials/Camera/Shake Config`.
{% hint style="danger" %}
If you are creating your own `Shake Config` like above, you **must** remove the `Shake Config` in the `Camera Shake/Demo/Resources/Shake Config` or you can just use the **same** one as the demo.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
There can always be exactly **one** `Shake Config` object in the project.
{% endhint %}
Now by selecting the created `Shake Config`, we can add a new mapping. The `Name` defined what will be called when we trigger a shake and `Camera Shake` defined the `Shake` object when the name was triggered.
Now we can omit the exposed inspector property when triggering a camera shake:
```csharp
public class TestShaker : MonoBehaviour
{
private void Start()
{
CameraShakeController.DoShake("Shoot");
}
}
```
