![]() ![]() Using a rain rig is only the first part of shooting rain. If your budget is thinning, you can always search YouTube for tutorials on making your own rain machine. Most major cities will have companies that can supply such rigs, but they will likely come with the added cost of also hiring out the company’s crew members to operate the machinery. These produce much larger water droplets (and at a faster rate) which helps the camera pick up the rain at an 180-degree shutter. There are various types of machines for this purpose, from crane-attached rain rigs that can soak a city street to rain wands that can be operated by a single person. A majority of rain in movies is artificial. However, that still won’t give you the grandiose level of rain you find within films. Although the 45-degree shutter angle was a primary choice to make the violence of war appear more aggressive on screen, minute elements such as water and dirt were captured in greater detail. Janusz Kaminski creatively utilized this in Saving Private Ryan, as seen above. A faster shutter speed will give the individual frames more sharpness, and you’ll be able to see the rain in a lot more detail. If you’re shooting a documentary and can’t stage or recreate the shot - and rain within the composition is a must - you can look at decreasing the shutter angle (increasing the shutter speed). When you factor in an 180-degree shutter angle, fast-moving objects like raindrops become nothing but a blur. Raindrops, even during a moderate downpour, are often too small and translucent for the camera to capture. This comes down to two things - the size of the rain and the shutter angle. In the Jimmy Kimmel Live skit below, he mocks the Californian news reporters for their coverage of the rain - but more importantly, take note that throughout the various news reports you can hardly, if at all, see the rain. Nevertheless, you can’t see the rain in the composition it just looks like a misty spray of water. I can also account for getting soaked behind the camera. The character looks wet, there’s rainwater on the plants, and you can see that the sky is gray. ![]() It’s a shot from my short film which was captured only a few weeks ago.
