Yes, a few trees and some ground lines could do it, but actually frame

by frame would probably for at least the first 2 or 3 frames of the

shaking.


Frame by frame animation will usually draw faster than tweens but take

more bytes.

In this case as long as everything is a symbol the added byte cost

should be minor.

And frame by frame will probably be easier to get that violent shaking

you want immediately after the impact.
