Stop-Animation Rain & Snow
My son has a question that I wasn't sure how to answer:
>"How do you make Stop-Motion animated snow and rain effects?"
We'd like to see how you would pull it off, and as we're getting into Fall and coming up on Winter, it may be a great time to test this out. He specifically wants to know how to make falling rain and snow. We haven't found much on YouTube that demonstrates this in a very convincing way. If you decide to go for this on the Corridor Crew YouTube channel, I might suggest a challenge between the digital and practical effects teams.
Either way, anybody else with suggestions on how to pull this off, feel free to chime in. We would love to see your ideas or examples from stop-animation films that have pulled this off in the past.
I've included a personally recorded live-action sample of heavy snowfall as an example of what he's looking for in stop-animated films. I suppose also The Nightmare Before Christmas might have some good examples for us to look at to start out with, but I'm sure there are others that have probably pulled this off.
