Pioggia Nera - Anyone got any ideas what the effect is?

[scjb]

First post... Whoo!!!

Anyways, have been asked for information about an effect called "pioggia nera" which seems to translate literally as "black rain". I performed a quick search on the forum, but nothing found. Does anyone have an idea what the effect actually is in the real world?

Many thanks

Steve

Thanks Bob, lovely thread with beautiful effect, but it's not what I'm looking for. The Pioggia Nera is definitely a night-time effect.

Perhaps a different cambodge. The effect is for a little time not visible.

hi everyboby

" pioggia nera" is a partycular effect very fien ad elegance....is a night effect ....is not like the rainbow black .that's is a day effect visible with sun

you coul image a dark gold rain, without glittering stars ...........the color is dark ....very dark , the basic is the charcoal powder , here in italy it's cold sometimes , pioggia carbone , the color is like " the chocolate " or " the coffee" not brillant . The best desing of this effect usually is the spider shell with big stars or " cannoli " a cylindrical star ........maybe ......is a different example of " rain " . Sorry for my english , i hope to be clear and answer at your questions .



best wishes Pirofede

is it anything like a waterfalls shell? the ones like vacalluzco uses?? this sounds like an interesting effect! or is it like the one i saw once in a video that only showed an x in a charcoal color?

Hi there!

Basicly, it's a golden willow with just charcoal-based stars, resulting a plain and elegant gold tail. You can use a variation of the common blackpowder forumulation and lessen the KNO3-amount in it to 60% or less. We use both 60% and 49% depending on the hang-time you are looking for

I remember very dense charcoal colours (almost orange) from shells that I saw some 15 years ago. This was always a palm effect with rising trunk. Nowadays I hardly ever see them.

Can I compare the Pioggia Nera with those or are these different.

Does anyone have a picture or a short movieclip? I can hardly imagine, because these shells are probably difficult to capture on any film (due to the low light intensity).

pioggia nera = pioggia carbone = brocade crown
