Adding CG things like swords

[frizDog]

you need to rotoscope out the stick,
model, texture, shade, light, animate the cg sword, if the camera is moving, track the camera, use that tracked camera data on your cg camera, render out the sword, and composite the rendered sword over the actor, probably some more roto will be needed to be done to help the hand and sword's contact beliveable

Depending on your lighting setup you will probably need to render out a shadow pass of the sword and comp in a fake cg shadow that casts on the character and the environment

Oh okay. seems tedious but doable.
