For this paper I will be studying rain effects in TV and
film, both animated and practical.
Pacific Rim: fight scene in Hong Kong. This is a very long
fight that takes place in the rain. All of it is computer generated. Combined
with good lighting and texturing, the rain appears very real. Everything looks
wet, and is reflecting the colorful lights of downtown Hong Kong.Very effective at looking real and at setting the mood.
Gotham: Episode 4 climax. An assassin is coming to kill his
next victim, but Jim Gordon gets to the house first. The scene is set up
outside the house, where it is raining. The rain is meant to change the mood
and get the audience ready for the confrontation that is about to happen. The
rain is a practical effect and was filmed outside in the daytime. It can
clearly be seen that it was sunny when it was filmed due to the shadows in the
street in the background. This creates a weird scene, which doesn’t portray the
right mood. It looks like actual rain, it just doesn’t look like it should be
raining at the time.
