You just saved my next film! Love it!

@CINEMALEXZIKON Glad to hear it. :D

I WANT AN EFFECT THAT LET EVERY THING IN THE SCENE CAME BLACK UNEXCEPT MY ACTOR OR JUST GIVE THE NAME OF THE EFFECT

[FXhomeHitFilm]

@thekmkpro Sounds like you just want to shoot your actor against a greenscreen then composite them onto a black background. Or you can shoot in a dark studio and only light the actor, if you want to do it old school. :)

How do I track an object to a wall or similar that doesn't really have any distinct features on it?? For example a bloodstain to a white wall or a person onto an elephants back? I understand it would be a similar process but a white wall doesn't have a nose if you get what I mean..?

[FXhomeHitFilm]

@SMFilmsmiths We've designed the tracking system so that it works even when there aren't any noses in the shot. :) However, you will need some kind of feature to track. Depending on the shot you could track something else in the shot but move the origin point, or you could think about adding a tracking marker of some sort to the wall. Or just use a different wall. :)
