A Van Morrison Moment
<p><em>Shaker Run</em>. I was a production assistant and traveled with the second unit crew to shoot b-roll footage not requiring the primary actors. One day we were filming drive-by car shots on the snowy roads of Mount Cargill. After a few hours in the frigid weather, it started to snow. We hustled to get the final shot and return to town before the roads became impassible. When the camera truck driver reversed, he wedged the tires into a mound of snow. We were stuck.</p>
<p>The sun was setting and there were no other cars were in sight. I felt a sense of dread, wondering how we’d free the truck and return to civilization. That’s when one of the camera assistants, a Wellington denizen named Peter, began laughing. “You know what’s happening here, don’t you gents,” he said. “This is a Van Morrison moment.”</p>
