AE weather change practice

The main part of my project is post-production. After Effect is the significant way to create post-production effects. Therefore, I make some particle effects in this video. The aim of making it is change the weather of a video. The first picture is the original photo That I shoot in Cambridge, it was a sunny day. I mask the blue sky off and add the cloudy in. Then I used the particle effects to create the smoke. After that, I want to present the rain drops put out the smoke, so I use the rain drops effects.

From making this short video,I learnt more skills of post-production. And I got the idea about how to create some supernatural scene by post-production. It is useful for me to make a fantasy film during my project researching.Although this video is just 9 seconds, I spent a whole night to do it. I know the post-production work needs patience, carefulness and time. I have confident to learn it well.
