jeff frost filmed the rocky fire near clear lake, california, a fire which spanned fourty six thousand acres. determined to get the time lapse footage needed for an upcoming doc, frost notes, “i tried to set up a second camera to record the approaching onslaught, but my eyes, wind blasted with hot smoke, were desperately flushing water through my tear ducts.” 

“i wiped away the water with the sleeve of my shirt, but it only pushed salt, soot and dirt further into my eye sockets. when the heat from the fire, still an entire ridge away, became too much i jumped back in the truck and stayed there.” (vimeo)
