Der Überzug hat eine löcherige Struktur und ist sehr flexibel, was dazu führt, dass Regentropfen fast unhörbar auf den Zeppelin fallen – und sich nicht, wie sonst üblich, durch ein gut hörbares „Plopp“ in der Tonaufnahme verewigen.

Yesterday, Whit Monday, was a good day to record rain: The drops fell, but it wasn’t pouring down. I was helped by Cinela’s raincover, which once a director once called a „swim dog“, but it is actually called „Kelly“.

The cover has a porous structure and is very flexible, which means that raindrops fall almost silently onto the blimp – and do not, as is usually the case, create a very audible „plop“ in the sound recording.
