Title: Rain Machine
Post by: ReelHotGames on July 25, 2003, 01:58:18 PM
Hey, I'm curious if anyone has any experience with a rain machine, I am looking at needing something fairly heavy duty, more than a garden hose rig.

Anyone know of rental houses for such an item, or what kind of rig might actually work.

The situation is this: Shooting on Alcatraz Island, so there is limited access to water supply, so I basically need a self contasined rig. I'm thinking some sort of comressor unit, but haven't had the time to invest yet in research.

Anyone already done the leg work and have some info to pass along?

I know you can rent just the pumps....I know of 2 construction manufactures....Wacker and Thompson pumps...they are industrial and probably kinda expensive though...

I found  this (http://www.creative-effects.com/Special_Effects_Rentals/special_effects_rentals.html) though, which if nothing else is interesting....

Good luck!!!
