Making Cinematic Rain with VFX

[@michaelfarrell4824]

I got into trouble in college because of a rain scene in a short I made because the tutor realised I hadn't signed out any rain protection for the cameras for the shoot. His face when I told him the rain wasn't real was priceless. He bought me a beer after college that day to apologise for going off on me lmao

THATS AWESOME MICHAEL

[@AustinThomasFilms]

This looks much better than I would have thought. You really put a lot of effort into the depth, scale and lighting.

[@LiamHKW]

I love VFX shots like this. The kinds that you wouldn't even consider to have much "touching up" (maybe aside from color grading) because they blend so well with the original footage. Killing it as always guys!

[@hrsh042]

Yes, as always killing

[@TheBrianMertz]

Legitimately have a band wanting to do a rain scene in their next music video. This is gold.

[@FocusedLucas]

That was amazing how real you got that to look!

[@GreenyPB]

yes

[@umarnaq]

I love the behind the scenes of Josh and Emily! Amazing results as usual!

[@DodaGarcia]

Same, I just love seeing all of their interactions as a family

[@gimanggis_gt]

Brooo thankss, now i can finish my project

[@THAMNOS]

I looked for tutorials about making VFX rain for a few years already and never could find anything good. I experimented myself trying to come up with some realistic ideas but again didn't really work. Now this video is totally gold. Thank you!

[@KarimJovian]

This was incredible

[@UPEXPERT]

wow Amazing and Very Very Nice Video Superb 👍👍👌👌💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏.....

[@pilkfilms]

Y’all’s skits need to be expanded upon into bigger stories, that opening was SO GOOD.

[@MWB_FoolsParadisePictures]

This is solid gold. Not every movie can benefit from electricity bolts or gunfire, but rain...super versatile.

[@thisiseric]

One of my projects back in film school involved filming indoors with rain, blood, and fire all involved. I built a rain machine using 2x4s with a spiraled hose with holes in it and then someone would stand above it on a ladder and pour water from the school's water fountain in a funnel that would trickle into the hose and create rain over my actor who was covered in blood by a chair that was set on fire for real. My actor also got sunburn from the lights over the intense 3 day shoot. I spent 8 months on the project... I got a B+. Not even an A.

[@themoviemagics3695]

[@RmaNYouTube]

I don't even like compositing and vfx, and this made me amazed.

[@ayeeeck4512]

Insane execution 💯💯💯

[@brandonjacksoon]

Amazing result! You are the best!

[@Darkondrago666]

You guys never fail to impress me with what you can do with effects

[@HollowLvngs]

Randomly came across this awesome video and then randomly saw the Pal's 10 minutes from my house 3:32. What a small world!

[@yonderboygames]

I remember subscribing after the original rain video back in the day. Time truly does fly!

[@filmhackYT]

I really wish you guys would have more fun during your shoots lol. Seriously though, I've always admired your family dynamic, it's pretty rad.

[@Coby-K]

I love the skit! It's amazing how many horror movies forgo that kind of suspense, and just use cheap jumpscares instead. Well done!

[@kasperstenbom]

I thought for sure the first time I saw the rain in the wide shot that it was practical. Genuinely amazing results! ✨

[@MidnightParadox1]

Geez, this is amazing. When I saw the shot I thought this was going to be more of a practical episode. You guys blew me away

[@Dougurasufilm]

The Emily and Josh shots are so cute on top of an already amazing tutorial :ooo

[@weepingwillow_]

oh my god, i thought it was going to be a failry complex way of maybe using some cgi or effect but actually utilising already made footage but just making it transparent? honestly this is blowing my mind, it's easier and more simple than i ever would have come up with xd thank you so much!

[@dong8x]

진짜 봐도 봐도 신기하다 여기...😍

[@YannickFilms]

Damn that looked amazing!💯

[@CaptainKazi]

I asked Andrew at conference once if he could do a rain tutorial for VC. He said it was way to hard.. I'm stoked you tackled it!

[@tajender_singh]

loved the chemistry of Emily and Josh!

[@blackfilm645]

I'm from Brazil, I'm really enjoying the videos now that I'm studying video editing and VFX, thank you very much, teach us everything

[@EricEsser]

Unbelievable, great work. Can't believe how realistic this looks.

[@StedeBonnett]

The transition from all the rain to none at 10:29 just seems like normal Florida weather...

[@thebikerphotographer3774]

Man that turned out looking super realistic.

[@ikemsmith]

This looks so good. The wind on the raincoat really helped with the wide shot as well as well

[@hellohogo]

This is one of my new favorites

[@samuelt7961]

This is awesome

[@ukab1]

Frickin' love you guys, nothing but respect and admiration for you all, for your hard work, to teach us something so amazing. Thank you so much.

[@hoshilandscape]

カッコよすぎます‼️

[@ElysiumDusk]

the first thing I looked for and noticed was the lack of raindrops impact on her. It's also what the Avatar VFX team said is the hardest thing to do digitally. How raindrops interact with different materials and texture at different velocity and angles and the massive amount of it. I don't even wanna know how long it would take to render that.

[@eevisual]

Shooting a music video for an actress on Disney this weekend and she wants a very climactic end of the video rain scene but it won’t be raining this weekend. This just saved my life! I’ll definitely use some practical water mixed in with the digital. Looks extremely realistic, well done!

[@RojoSostenido]

your life was in danger because it wasn't going to rain? that's one tough life there

Information overload

[@IrfanR]

Amazing works

[@ashhhh_977]

Great tutorial

[@dcowks]

The best vfx rain at youtube. Great work guys!!!

[@jmetzmedia]

A really funky (yet easy) work around that I used to create haze or a promist feel is using an adjustment layer with the blend mode set to screen and gaussian blur turned up to like 400 and then just lower the opacity to liking. Not the same as red giant but great say to add haze in premiere without the glow effect

[@VFXProductionsRT]

I use this for fog I think it works well :)

[@evilpigskin]

Now I gotta do this in DaVinci.

[@jmetzmedia]

@@evilpigskin I don’t know if da Vinci has adjustment layers but you can always duplicate the footage and do it that way

[@florianrueger]

@@evilpigskin Davinci has a build in effect named glow. Make a parallel node with the footage as is below and add the glow effect to the upper node. Set the mode to light source only and adjust the glow threshold and lower the overall gain if needed. Can't wish for more. ✌️

[@Rich1Performances]

HOLY SH*T YOU BY FAR ARE THE MOST TALENTED WITH VFX I'VE SEEN ON KZbin!

[@joeking5038]

Great tutorial. I love how you break it up with the funny outtakes. That always helps with longer tute's, although, this was a short one. Thanks for the content.

definately gonna use in future projects

[@WhySteve]

Damn it must be cool working with your family like this.

[@MarqueeLouisville]

This is an awesome breakdown. Specifically, the blending of the practical effects with the hose blending with the digital assets. Definitely something we should have thought about when we did our first short that involved rain lol. It definitely didn't look this good. As always, you guys are the best for helping filmmakers to achieve their goals at any budget/skill level!

[@stream-cut]

You are the king, best tutorial ever

[@ValJedi]

Extreemly clever! Ggreat job!!!

[@4Everlast]

Watching you guys from year one, it was a love-"hate" relationship, cause you gave me more inspiration and love for this craft, as you put more fear in me for even attempting to enter this business.

[@michaelc3963]

You guys are crazy!!!! I love it!

[@marioCazares]

Dang that looks real :o I still remember using ccRain or whatever the effect was back then and it wasn't great haha

[@protim9947]

That rain alone was more realistic than my life

[@Nimbus849]

Jeezus. This is so good.

[@Dr3amR3almStudios]

Wow that's intricate & crazy but it looks great.

[@ELECTRICSCARS]

Amazing Work Dudes 🤘🏽

[@englishforsrilanka2535]

Amazing work guys!

[@jdray]

This is a great tutorial to see what can be done by someone familiar with all the tools. If I, as someone coordinating production of a film project, handed a scene to someone and asked them to "make it rain" (presuming this person knew what they were doing), how long should it take to put something like this in place? Is this an hour's effort? A day? Presume that the shot had been done with all the necessary components, and they only needed to do the digital work.

[@tientrang3428]

very good thank you, thanks to this video I know many things

[@fostej99]

So cool. Love the close up of the knife - looks particularly realistic to me and the grade looks sooo nice!
