    This will require motion tracking to stick the text to the wall and rotoscoping or the Roto Brush tool to separate the foreground people from the background so that you can put the text behind them.

    Ok! – Thanks for the advice
    Seneca (Roman historian) said: “If a man does not know to which port is addressed, no wind is favorable to him!”
    Now I know which port should I follow!
    Thanks buddy! After I manage to achieve the desired effect, enter here the results!
    Until the next!

    You might want to play with the blending modes of the text layer so it will look more naturally incorporated in the wall (even have a graffiti look)
