Faking rain?

Hey guys, any suggestions on faking rain. I'm looking to do a closeup in the dark. :huh:
 
Why do you want to fake the rain when you can use natural rain? The garden hose might be helpful though.
 
The garden hose idea sounds like a good one. Especially for a closeup. You'll want to make sure to throw a back light behind the rain so that it shows up on video better.

That's what I meant :) I didn't mean in POST. The hose sounds like a good idea. We could spray it from over top the actor and the frame behind.

BUT we most likely will not have a garden hose laying around on our location though!
 
get you a couple hudson sprayers if all your doing is a close up. Remeber as horse said besure to back light it, other wise it won't show up. If you don't want back lighting then you can add a little powder milk and it'll paint from any light.

that one made me chuckle a bit. :)


anyway, mini may be referring to POST rain (just a guess, mini!). As far as fake rain goes, I think you generally just want to find some sort of hose/spray device, LOTS of water, and try to get a good, even spray. No thick streams of water. Do anything you can to separate the water coming out into what appears to be a mist of rain drops.

And the tips on milk powder and back lighting are very good. You just want to make sure that the rain is at least a little visible.
