			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well, for lightning effects, first, shine a LED torch/flashlight into the set from some random angle every time you want a strike, it's basic, and does for some great and realistic lighting effects.

For the actual bolts, I'd suggest making them in photo shop. Maybe a Google search could find you a tutorial, if not, I'll try to find a good method for you, or add them to the frames myself if you wish. But it would be really really [b]really[/b] cool if you pulled off some in shot bolts. That could be nice.

Now, for rain...
I'm not really sure. xD

For blue ish night lighting, I shine my lamps onto my huge blue day background. Combined with your blue gels, you could make it even more blue.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[At this very moment I'm working on a film that will need lots of effects, crucial lighting, and top notch animation, so here I want to has a few questions about lighting the set and the effects needed to pull it off.  First off, the scene is set in the middle of a storm, so flashes, lightning bolts and rain will be needed, I think I can do the flashes but do any of you know where I could get lightning bolts and rain?  I'm also in need of special lighting, the story call for a blue storm, I have a blue background and and lighting gels, except the gels aren't strong enough to project a dark blue color.

Help...  Please.]]></content>
