I made a tiny bluescreenstudio out of a box (1x1x1 meters) and I put crosses with a darker blue on it for the tracking. Unfortunately the tracking was not very accurate, because the crosses were too big and too far away from each other, but it's a start. Then I let my rat walk in it, and filmed the whole thing. Then I keyed the movie. I just made a 3d box in 3dmax and rendered with the tracked camera, and then I put the keyed movie on top of the 3d in premiere. But then I don't have any shadows. In this case, how should I make the shadows. Just using the alpha is not very easy, because the rat moves, also up and down, so I won't be able to just stretch the shadow to match the lighting.???!

plz i need help .

I'm not really sure about this,.. but how about trying Adobe After Effect instead ? I've been using both for a while but I don't know if Premiere is good in lighting and shadow matter.

After effects should do the shadow trick.

You might also consider cutting between the close up and the wide shot insted of zooming out. Also try turning off autofocus, and instead pull focus manually.
