A Shut Name
Making the music video for her music “Reckless,” one scene required a water tank and, Beer remembers, that was going to be the final scene they shot that specific evening earlier than calling it a day.
Whereas she was exhaustedly preparing, she writes, her supervisor got here in and knowledgeable her that the tank had burst and all of the water had flooded into the car parking zone. They ended up taking pictures the scene later that very evening in Beer’s pool at her home and everybody agreed that the underwater photographs they wanted had been higher than in the event that they’d used that comparatively confining tank.
As everybody was packing up, Beer remembers, a crew member informed her that the liner of the tank was made from plastic. It ripped from the underside and all of the water sucked down like a funnel, he defined, and if she’d already been within the tank, she “‘would have been dragged beneath, too'” and been badly injured or caught underwater.
Beer remembers how devastated she’d felt when the tank broke—however now she had the right shot, and she hadn’t been damage in a freak accident. “I am going to by no means know precisely why it occurred,” she writes, “however I went to mattress that evening feeling oddly grateful that it had.”
