Rain Man : Nirav Shah Cinematographer

Filmmakers are always looking for ways to create exciting and dramatic moods to heighten the drama of a movie.One of the most effective and available tools we have at our disposal is the tried and true Rain Sequence.

Filming a rain sequence here at India is one of the daunting tasks for DOPs to find a right equipment to replicate rain to the composed frame and also make it look real.

Most of the outdoor rain sequence is filmed with the usage of Fire service personals to pump water, where most of the times created rain gets crossed in to the frame and looks unnatural. For interior parts, we use the rain bars that are too awkward to deal with, as they require condors and cranes to rig them. Thus, result of the rain produced is a just an artificial splash of water.

But somehow Cinematographers manage by their choice of positioning hose pipe, blocking with the best back lighting and further add digital rain in the post.

Award winning Cinematographer Nirav Shah, has arrived with a solution for this. He has brought the Latest rain making equipment to India from the United Kingdom.

Tilted as the ‘Rain Man’, it is one great piece of professional equipment which enables to create rain with varied intensity, from light drizzle to heavy drizzle to Foggy rains!

While speaking to Nirav Shah who enthusiastically explains  that  this equipment is very quick to setup and you have the advantage to start rain gradually in the middle of the scene.

“Rain Man” has four efficient poles to create broad rain over any large area and most important factor to be applauded is, this machine saves seventy percent of water than any rain makers available at present.

Rain Man is now available for rent…for further details, call: Mr.Shiva 9841314092.
