A cinematic journey through the charred forest around Slave Lake. The Journal’s Ryan Jackson couldn’t go inside Slave Lake on Friday so he decided to go into the forest instead and show how the fire has affected nature. Video by Ryan Jackson / Edmonton Journal
Here's me in the forest with my slider and camera. Even though the fire was mostly out I had to be careful where I stepped. It's really humbling to see what nature can do. Bug spray and dust masks are your friend. Photo of me by Jana Pruden
Here is my DIY slider that I built for camera movements. It worked okay but I've since bought a real Kessler PocketDolly.
