Experimenting with Rain for final composition

Today, I was having a little fiddle about in After effects trying to get a good rain effect. It involved a few effects added into the composition; a basic rain effect, plus particle effects added to make the splashes and to add to that I masked out some of the foreground under the umbrellas. More time is being spent on trying to get the splashes and splatters the right speed and not too floaty or fast.

Due to the upload system of this. The video is low res and quite hard to see the rain. Best viewed in full screen. For now test shots are okay (but not great) with this system but I am contemplating a Vimeo account.
