Re: light streaks

If I put reflective tape on the sticks how well can motion track it? I've never used the tracker in it. In terms of renting a higher speed camera, I'm doing this at school, so I really can't. The song is a dance club type of song, and the band is going for a very colorful image. I want neon light streaks to look like they're coming from the drumsticks and guitar as they move.

After using the tracker in motion or AE how would I connect the tracker to the light streak effect? I'm pretty amateur in AE, but little better in motion so some of this stuff is relatively new. Any help is very, very appreciated.

And when you say you'd mask the sticks do you mean you'd rotoscope the sticks? Sorry if I sound confused.

Thanks,

Brendan
