Tim, fortunately for you it is the fall/winter season. I would
recommend that you take the "Disney" approach to your wind problem.
At Disney (and many others) they videotape complex actions that they
need their animators to duplicate. If you have even a basic
camcorder (or rent one) you could videotape leaves falling or throw
some envelopes up in the air and tape them falling. Then xfer this
to VCR. Watch the tape over and over until you feel you can
duplicate the random nature instinctively.
I am probably making this sound more involved than it really is.
Still, you might be suprized (and hopefully so will your clients!).
