In the 1979 Golden Palme winning film "Northern Lights" there is an incredible scene of a threshing crew in North Dakota. They are hurrying to finish the job when it begins to snow. It is VERY realistic.
I got to meet with John Hanson the film's director. He said that scene happened with NO special effects. They had called for extras with threshing experience. They had found machinery that had been put back into operating condition. When everything was in place and filming had begun, it started to snow. The director asked an old-timer what would have happened in such a situation. The old-timer said, "We would have kept threshing." So they kept filming--creating perhaps the most realistic footage ever in cinematic history.
The award was well-deserved! "Remember the I35W bridge--who needs terrorists when there are Republicans"
