The Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Показать описание

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
Hey guys! My name is Jaxon Roberts and for the past few years I have been pursuing my dream of becoming a filmmaker and photographer. Since the beginning of my career, I always dreamt of capturing mind blowing locations that people haven’t yet seen before. The Cocos (Keeling) Islands, fits this description perfectly. Haven’t heard of it? Neither have I until a couple of years ago! And it’s part of Australia (where I’ve lived my whole life!).

Located off the coast of Western Australia, this once coconut palm plantation is now just a tropical paradise with stunning beaches and deep jungles that you have to see to believe. Cocos consists of 27 islands, only 2 of which are inhabited.

Back in December of 2019, I was lucky enough to travel here with a bunch of other creative minded people . Lucky for us, we have friends that grew up on these islands and could show us all they have to offer. From camping on our own island under the stars and amongst hundreds of hermit crabs to swimming in the clearest water you’ve ever seen, eating freshly caught and cooked fish and drinking fresh coconuts, this experience was something I once only ever dreamt of. Whilst filming this paradise I had 2 goals: to take in and embrace the simplistic island life and to portray the true essence of our experience. I came home with some of my favorite footage I’ve ever captured and I'm so happy I can share it all! Thanks for watching, your support means the world to me!

Also a big thanks to Nush and Dre for letting me use some extra footage from the stunning underwater world of Cocos! Make sure you check these legends out, their work is insane!

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all your kind words about my video! I had such a great time creating this and I hope you all enjoyed it! For those wondering, most of the footage was shot using a Sony A73 and a DJI Mavic 2 pro drone! 😊

When it is all said and done, nature will always be here to remind us that the world still lives and breathes in all of its effortless beauty. As human beings and unexpected caretakers of this Earth, we have a responsibility to treat it right and make sure it survives way beyond our years. Aloha to all 🌈

Awesome place, it is sooo beautiful there. I have actually been there in 2013, probably one of few...a truly unique and unspoilt place. Have not considered going back due to its remoteness and being so special but watching this video makes me reconsider...:)
