My friend and I are working on a film studies project in which we intend to show a single survivor after nuclear fallout wandering through woodlands for water. We want to portray some theme of uneasiness or fear as he wanders, possibly by following the actor with the camera angle over his shoulder freehanded, but we’re worried this could appear amateurish instead of professional. Any suggestions?

Your afraid that shakiness would appear amateurish? It depends.
Shoot in 24fps to avoid the digital feel (30fps). It will also help you to get that film feel.
Don’t care how shaky it is but color correction do wonders to make an amateur short film look better.

Thats like asking, how can I fly without wings. You will not get smooth results without stabilisation.
