Manu Delpech Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I think I asked someone about this here but I can't find a trace of it. Basically, I'm going to have a big scene in a film involving rain at night in like a residential street. I've tried to find as much as I could about it but I figured I'd ask here and might gleam some good advice from folks who have experience with that. I plan to shoot the whole film very wide, long shots, few cuts. Which I guess will be a plus since there will be no use of any cranes, it'll be a lot of dolly work. So I don't plan to frame the action above a certain height, let's say a little above the height of a pick up truck. This means we probably won't need super high water towers. Now, what should I absolutely know or be aware of before shooting a scene like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Greene Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 You will need some backlight to see the rain. And, it will be a lot of water, more than a usual rainy day. Be prepared to get everything wet. You might also desire a rain deflector device for the lens, depending upon whether you can keep the rain off the lens... Usually you can avoid getting the lens / filter wet with just the eye brow on the matte box. At least get an optical flat filter to keep the water off the lens itself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
