HOW TO: Weather Effects

OK, here’s an example I gave someone on another thread and I hope it helps:

EXT. BACKGROUND - DAY with effect HARD RAIN

NARR
Bla bla bla, whole scene goes here.

EXT. BACKGROUND - DAY

NARR
Scene goes here where it’s not raining anymore.

(So, basically, to turn off a weather effect, you will need to re-write your background without the effect on it, and re-place all of your characters into the scene).-a quote of mine

We can’t layer weather effects unfortunately like we can with overlays but maybe someday :wink:

Here’s a picture regarding this:

Just remember that “If that background has other overlays applied to it, the weather must come at the very end” - quote from the Episode guides.

Anyways, moving on! :black_heart:

The weather effects can be found on the right side your script on Writer’s Portal under Weather Effects and it looks like this:

And that’s all for now :smile:

It would be:

NOT:

So, it’s just effect + the weather effect’s name (they are listed in the 1st post)

Putting it here so I can link it or something, also I’m feeling much better after re-charging by sleeping but brain is still pretty mushy and lack of sleep these days haven’t been helping :joy:
