EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how films are made in the early 20th century. Titled "Rain," this colour lithograph showcases the intricate process of creating a rain scene for the silver screen. The image depicts water sprinklers above, similar to those used in offices for fire protection, creating a simulated downpour on set.
The attention to detail is evident as the camera is positioned under an improvised shelter and the microphone is carefully wrapped in waterproof material. This meticulous preparation ensures that every element of the scene is captured flawlessly during filming.
It's fascinating to imagine the dedication and precision required to produce such realistic effects before modern technology streamlined the filmmaking process. Each frame likely required multiple takes before achieving the desired result that audiences would eventually see on screen.
This illustration was originally part of a set of cigarette cards on How Films are Made, issued by B Morris in 1934. It serves as a reminder of the artistry and craftsmanship involved in bringing cinematic visions to life, even amidst challenging conditions like rainstorms depicted here.
