‘In the Eye of the Storm’ special effects designer Abbas Shoghi talks exclusively to ifilm about the difficulties of his job.

Walking down the set streets, Shoghi explains what a laborious task it was to plan a scene where it rained on the set, saying, "It became one of the most memorable scenes of the project."

He details the difficulties of shooting in a freezing cold weather and how they had to manage the set and the fake rain from freezing.
