No, They Didn't Dance In Milk On The Set Of Singin' In The Rain (/FILM)

When I was a teenager, I got really into classic Hollywood cinema, as many of us movie lovers do. Pretty early in my cinematic education I watched Stanley Donen ...

If you put the light in front of the rain, with no light behind it, the rain disappears." You shine a light on it from the same direction as the camera, and the light will just pass through a clear object. The reason you need to light it from behind is the refraction occurs as the light passes through it on the other side, which the camera can then capture. We tend to underrate the practicality of the filmmaking process. You have to put the light behind the rain so that the raindrops show. Also, they had to make sure the force of the rainfall looked like it was a proper storm and not coming from an elaborate sprinkler system, which is what it actually was. "Singin' in the Rain" didn't use milk in the beloved number. The truth is in order to capture the rain in that scene, the solution actually came from something much more crucial to moviemaking: good lighting. Have you ever looked out your window to see a storm and pull out your phone to start filming it because you can't believe how intense it is? You will be informed that because photographing rain is notoriously difficult to capture clearly, they had to use milk for the titular musical number's rain. It's one of those fun nuggets that shows off the ingenuity of filmmaking, doing something you would not expect to create a magical movie moment.

Some drivers critical of NASCAR for not calling caution for rain (NASCAR on NBC Sports)

Denny Hamlin, Daniel Suarez and Justin Haley were among the drivers critical of NASCAR for not calling a caution for rain before they were in a wreck.

If you watch the in-car (camera), you can see that some rain definitely started right before they wrecked. I was obviously at the back of that pack. All of a sudden there was that shower. [Tyler Reddick](https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/auto-racing/nascar/player/48325/tyler-reddick) told NBC Sports’ Dave Burns that he wrecked just seconds after he noticed the rain. Scott Miller, NASCAR senior vice president of competition, told NBC Sports: “We were on top of the weather, monitoring with all of our turn spotters, in touch with the spotters up top, the pace car. “We knew the rain was coming,” Suarez said. I’m a little biased because I was in the front.” I’ve never seen everyone spin out that quick, so I guess the track was probably pretty wet.” “We were definitely in a good spot and it was raining when we got to Turn 1 and we all wiped out,” he said. “We wiped out all the lead cars, so whoever wins this race wasn’t even in contention. “That was pretty unacceptable.” “That lap …

"We were on top of the weather monitoring it with all of our turn spotters, in touch with the spotters up top, the pace car and we had all the information that we thought," Miller said. "We'd been dodging a little bit of weather obviously for a little while, nothing had hit and all of a sudden, there was that shower that I guess the pace car was sitting down there on the inside. Daniel Suarez wondered why NASCAR didn't call the race earlier when they could see the rain was coming in. I mean my spotter said it was raining, it was raining on my windshield for a good bit and then we lost. The rain started to come down, and as it did, the front of the field spun out as it lost traction on the wet tracks. The final race of the Cup Series regular season had already been postponed from Saturday night to Sunday morning, and the rain began to come out late as drivers tried to make the final push to the playoffs.
