That gives them a semi-transparent quality as all the FX levels are showing through each other - a 'ghost' effect. If I recall correctly, I think once John had shot the character cels over the background he rewound the neg & shot the drips (painted blue-white and shot on black), & rewound more times to shoot the dripping rain (possibly twice to give different levels of depth & diffusion) & then finally faintly exposed in a painted relection of the city outside to create a sense of the surface of the glass. One mistake on any of those exposures on the neg & the whole shoot would have to be restarted! John has nerves of steel! Hope this helps...
