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 individual 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 capturing the scene later that very evening in Beer’s pool at her home and everybody agreed that the underwater photographs they wanted have been higher than in the event that they’d used that comparatively confining tank.
As everybody was packing up, Beer remembers, a crew member advised her that the liner of the tank was product of 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 underneath, too'” and been badly injured or caught underwater.
Beer remembers how devastated she’d felt when the tank broke—however now she had the proper shot, and she hadn’t been damage in a freak accident. “I will by no means know precisely why it occurred,” she writes, “however I went to mattress that evening feeling oddly grateful that it had.”
