Milky raindrops

I've heard of adding milk to water to make the raindrops show up better on film. Does anybody know the best ratio?

[nq:1]I've heard of adding milk to water to make the raindrops show up better on film. [/nq] It's mostly trial-and-error, but don't use milk. Use white poster paint instead, or something similar, as milk will start to stink very, very quickly.

  • You're going to end up either soaking the ground or the floor, depending on whether you're indoors or out, and it's a smell that doesn't come out easily.
  • An easier way to make rain show up on film is with the addition of a bit of side light, but remember, you rarely need much in the way of rain to sell a convincing rain effect.

It's an idea for medium shot in a commercial, a little kid in a rain slicker, twirling and jumpy and happy. I think we're good with just the garden hose.
