You wouldn't think it, but even the UK needs rain effects.

Rain Effects

For most productions, our high pressure system delivers quiet rain fed from our own bowsers without the need for noisy petrol powered pumps or fire engines. For larger areas, higher volumes of water (and hence rain) can be delivered from a 10,000 ltr bowser, backed up with extra tanks where necessary.

We also have special magnetic mounted self-contained rain systems to provide rain onto vehicle windscreens from a water supply in the boot space – ideal for shots from within moving cars.

All our rain systems use a range of interchangeable rain heads, allowing us to deliver anything from a light shower to monsoon.
