Hydra: How 'Rain' Will Fall for Brad Pitt - The Plan for the Artificial Storm

Preparations are underway in Hydra to create an artificial storm as part of the filming of an international film production starring Brad Pitt. The production will use special water tanks, pumps, and spray systems (rain rigs) to realistically simulate the storm. The process will be measured and paid for the use of water from fire hydrants, with road wetting also planned. The installation is technically demanding and requires coordination, but is expected to create an impressive visual effect. The storm scene is one of the most complex of the filming on the island, demonstrating the scale of the production.
