I have found black sticky-tack to be very useful in filming as it is easier to hide that bright blue sticky-tack.
Unfortunately on one makes it, so I made some myself ! 
All you do is take some sticky-tack and squish it out flat in a table, then you colour it black with a sharpie, kneed it in and repeat until it is black throughout.
Let me know if this helps.

wouldn't this stain the Lego though?
No actually, it doesn't
cool, I might try it some time, thanks for the tip.
I bought a bunch of sticky tack in different colours. Great idea though!
I has no sticky tac cause' I mixed it with Silly-Putty.
I actually used this trick in this video (on the Skelly's arms), it worked perfectly. I used a permanent marker to colour the tac.
Wow thats some great tac!
... What IS sticky tac?
I've heard of it before, but what is it? Is it similar to silly putty or plasticine?
I can never find it at any stores I go to, so that's why I ask.

What store would I find it at?

Its called blu-tack in the UK and a host of other places, and sometimes its sold under a brand name; so the chances are its just called something else in all those shops you've looked in.
Sticky tack is basically very sticky and mouldable clay. It's remniscent of chewed out chewing gum, only it's more sticky and more clay-ish (and less dirty). Sticky tack is very handy to stick your minifig to a wall, or to make sure your minifig doesn't fall down on a smooth surface. The possibilities are endless. ENDLESS I tell ya!
Would plasticine be a good substitute for it? (I have tons of it. 
)

its more rubbery than clay and is made out of plastic I believe.

No, plasticine is oily. Not a good idea to mix it with Lego
I need some of this, I've ruined so many lego with plasticine.
