Hey IndyMogul. Great tutorial, although I have a hose nozzle specifically made to make a rain like consistent downpour but this tutorial rocks!
I also spend most of my time at the local hardware store to prepare a list of stuff ill need to construct your effects!
Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for this tutorial eric! Do you hang the machine from something?
Yeah, you hang it from a tree. Check out the "How to blog" for more details.
Thanks Charles P.
Hey whats the name of that song that wuz playing while you were in the rain?
awesome dudes,and yes!fake head is coming up!I cant wait!!!
Awesome! I couldn't wait for this one! I needed a rain machine for an old 1920s murder mystery movie. Good job, Erik!
WOOO!!!!!
nice tip! it would be great if u showed how to make minuature stuff (buidings) to set on fire tu have a burning house or whateever effect
That was awesome you still amaze me indymogul.!
I hope you guy's land on the trip 2 Jersy soon!!!lol
Finally, the heads are coming! yes!!! Great job on all these tutorials, Erik!
Wicked, i need a job so i can afford to make all this stuff. Ive done the gun shot effect and it worked awesome, had to improvise alot and ended up costing quite a bit more, but was totally worth it. You guys are great, keep it up.
Any suggestions on how to use this rain effect if you don't have access to a water supply, (ex. if you have a shot that requires you to be in the middle of a street) ?
hey u guys should make a fake human body next
keep up the good work:)
Woah Erik Awesome Vid I Gotta Try That
hey thanks for starting this website, im in the process of getting a camera and the computer software to make some cool movies,

i know this is gonna sound weird but, can you do an episode on how to safely set people on fire. thanks a bunch
Strup: It's not weird, but that's something you want real training for, not just tips from a guy on the web.
You got a big fan in brazil.. take care

Finally an article on a rain machine!
due. its friday. whers the weekend extra!!!!!! I been waiting since 12:00 A.M.
The rain in the test film doesn't even look like its there. it looks like you shot it in front of a black screen, and superimposed it. I don't know if thats a compliment or an insult... but it's meant as a compliment!
How do you get the Rain Machine above your actors?

i wanna see the wheel landing on trip 2 jersy
but seriously is that thing rigged or something
I would think so.
-Lord
My Rain machine was only $8.00, instead of wood I used two mop poles and just tied everything together with the cable ties. It Works Great!
Duane, that sounds awesome, but I won't believe it til I see it!
Send in a video of that baby in action
would you recommend doing a shooting wound effect in rain? Wouldnt the blood get
I just watched your video on how to make it rain on your set. Now, I've seen the video on how to rainproof your camera, but how do you rainproof your boom mic??? Any advice would be stellar, thanks IndyMogul, you Rock!!
Great rain machine, could you have an episode that shows how to make a snow machine?
Cool, very realistic
hi erik!
can you make a blood pack of some sort on the episodes...
thnx
Thanks a lot...
Nicely done with the rig. My thought is that it also helps to shoot the rain up, so it falls naturally. A good backlight on the rain will also help you see the rain
HOLY I COULD USE THAT FOR MY MOVIE
