Hi brainfreezr,

There is a camera shake effect that might help you.

Select the camera that will be used and right-click over it. On the overlay effects select camera shake.
Then go to the Prepare menu and select object properties, make sure the camera is selected.
On the track drop-down menu select camera shake and select the initial value.
Press record and when the phone rings use the slider to increase the value of the effect and make the camera shake.
You can tweak the timings on the timeline tool.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Marco
