Re: Particular Halo

Instead of parenting the particular layer to the Null or person, you should use the pick whip. Pick whip the Y rotation of the Null into the Y rotation of the particle emitter.

I also think you should might be better off using 3D Stroke. You'll get better trails that way. Parent the 3D stroke layer to the girl, set the stroke up with the taper. Then adjust the rotation of stroke using one of the expressions provided by the other contributors in this thread.

Then duplicate the 3D Stroke layer and bring the end point close to the beginning point to get only one dot.
