    Hello all,

    I need some help. I’m doing a little POV short, in which the character (which is portrayed by the POV perspective) begins to cry. In other words, I need the screen to get “teary eyed”. Help? Thank you in advance.

    Dave’s got some good suggestions.
    In part two of the weather replacement tutorial, Aharon Rabinowitz covers how to get droplets of water on the camera. I haven’t looked at it, but I suspect it’s close to what Dave said.

    Here’s part one and part three, in case anyone wants to see the whole thing.

    Also, at the end of this tut:
    3D City he does a “drops on the lens” trick. Don’t know if it’s the same as Aharon’s method.

    You can see them clearly in the splash page: (no pun intended)

    Of course, you could always shoot through a protective cover and run actual water down it. Much easier and more realistic… just sayin’.
