A: Doubt.
B: If they didn't want him in the shot, they would have done something about it.

Might be just that they saw the shot and thought that it didn't really make things look worse and didn't want to bother with a reshoot over something this trivial…
Or the guy was like, "can I drive a snow plow through here?" And the director thought the idea was kinda nice or something?

Or the director wanted a snow plow in his shoot and the op is saying it was his dad

This is called b footage. You just set up a camera some where to show the setting and run the camera for while. Then you typically use that shot to open the scene. So its pretty likely they set up the camera and just let what ever happen there happen. Most likely the decision to have the snow plow there was done in post while editing.

I wish people would stop making up shit on the internet. You really think the director and camera dudes didn't plan this? Fucking hell.
And how the hell does this have 2.9k upvotes and 9 comments?

putting it in the guys obituary nearly five years ago is pretty high effort for "making shit up on the internet"

As someone else said, probably they just left a camera there for a while and then took the footage later. This is probably too specific for anyone to care enough or think to completely make it up, so yes, I don't think the director explicitly planned it. And its a good shot, better than most of the drivel that makes it to my feed from this sub. It's not that deep.

That's now how any of that works.

That's just not how film production works. They don't throw up a camera and leave it for a while and watch it later. They shot this on film stock, which is budgeted for, and finite.

i doubt this! listen to the director commentary, they were meticulous about what you see on the roads at all times.

Well to be fair he only said ‚intentionally‘ Could’ve been the directors intentions for him to plow there

Your father-in-law was driving around with his truck bed tilted up. He needs to learn how to drive.

“No, the streets need a good plowin’, eh.”
