@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 :)

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?
