    How would i go about showing rain falling from the sky if the camera is positioned in the sky so its a birds eye view of the rain falling.? Looking down towards the ground not up.

    Check out Dean Velez’s demo AE projects. He’s got one that’s all water-related stuff, and off the top of my head, I’m pretty sure this is one of them. Plenty of other good stuff here too!

    Use Particle illusion.

    2 particle effects and you’d have the plate.

    If your BEV is really high the rain has the perspective of dropping to a slight center square (almost reverse of the flying through space effect). Determine the life of your rain particle and its coverage, then put the rain splashes in at that perspective size and render the thing as a effect on the layer beneath ( i assumed you imported your video, sorry). There is probably a way to do this in AE too, but I use what I know.
