Valerio Sacchetto Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi eswar. We did something similar a while ago, although it wasn't shot right under a blazing sun but in a slightly shaded place. The setup was quite simple, rainmakers (sorry i don't know the name in english) all around the place and a strong backlight (i don't remember the power, it might had been a 6k HMI). And that's all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyRz27ef3Cg the very opening scene, sorry for the youtube quality...the rain is almost invisible. p.s. http://www.cinematography.com/forum2004/in...?act=boardrules ;) «Members on this forum are required to use their full real names for their Display Name.» Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted May 5, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted May 5, 2008 The best thing to do a few days before you shoot is just go outside with a garden hose and sprinkler or spray nozzle. Look at the falling water in backlight to get a feel for the angles that work best. Rain is harder to see on film than in real life, so go for the strongest effect. -- J.S.
