Alison's Experience with the August Snow episode of "Things that Move"

Filming August Snow was really fun. It took awhile to get Nick (snowboard instructor) and Dominic (camera man) to get pulled together to do the shoot between snowboarding, working and doing lots of fun stuff in Queenstown finding time was tricky. We managed to and it took longer then we thought it would- of COURSE! That is the way it is in film, video and TV! Once we got sorted and I had a chance to really see how this was going to be put together it was fun. We had a few missed cues so we had to redo a couple of scenes like the one when I say ‘it’s snowing’ and Nick (who was sitting right beside me on the rock) throws snow on me in that take, but the one just before that he totally forgot to throw it on me when I said ‘snowing’. We laughed a lot because he said the snow was really heavy. It’s actually really wet snow down there- just so you know and a lot of it is man made because Queenstown gets really infrequent dumps of snow. Not like Canada where we have solid white falling down for what? 6 months would you say? I had a lot of fun with the guys filming Things that Move: August Snow and a REALLY GREAT time in New Zealand that I will never, never forget. Living in a ski town and working on the mountain for a season was awesome. The most unique experience I have had with snow!!!! So far at least. Until next time keep being adventurous! It’s very important!
