Motion Tracking Lightsaber Test

If you have seen Three in the Afternoon with FX commentary by Ryan Wieber, you might know how I got the idea of trying to motion track a lightsaber prop.

I tried using motion tracking on a lightsaber prop I had, and it wasn't tracking very well.

Oh well. It turned out fine in the end.

As long as it's high contrast to the background.

This works with motion tracking only if your not swinging around the lightsaber because it won't track it. Right?
