How do you add instant drama to your scenes? Rain and sappy music of course. Using some wood, rope and a garden hose Erik shows you how to make a "Hollywood rain machine" for less then $50 bucks.

  • Hail is easy throw ice at people

  • @jakehad13 try using this effect but get someone on a ladder (anything that'll make him above the actors and out of site) and get him/her to sprinkle rice ontop of the actors. it should look like hail. good luck :)

  • @javierchaconm no, are you?

  • @TheReddeadend Are you def?

  • @TheReddeadend it wont show up on camera

  • or you could just wait for it to rain outside

  • That rain looked uber fake.

  • pl0ease make bfx build of hail,thunder, or lightnin *beggssss*

  • Hey guys... great tutorial! For my next film i'm thinking of doing a rain scene at night. I don't think i'll have enough funding to make a "rain machine" large enough to fit the entire frame (roughly 20 feet wide). Is there a way to only make rain above the subjects and then fill in the rest of the frame using special effects?
