The Cocos (Keeling) Islands

- 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!

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! 😊
This is just awesome! Great work 💯
even the underwater shots?
Great work. Subscribed to your channel.

These people don’t make videos, they make artworks
Now this is art !!! Next level cinematic experience, and I've just added it to my list of paradise places to sail to. . . Many thanks for your elegant footage, editing and precision. . . World class. . .
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 🌈

I was browsing the map of Australia the other day when I came across this island. Breathtaking! I’ve «decided» to survive corona (famous last words), travel there and I bet you I’m going to be eaten by the first shark. I wish we could all travel. Beautifully filmed and edited, by the way!
So have you actually been to Cocos Islands?

Thank you 😊
I wonder, during your trip to the Cocos Islands, did you ever explore the history of the Sydney/Emden fight? I believe you could dive on what remains of wreck of the Emden off the coast of North Keeling, as well. The battle holds great significance being the Royal Australian Navy's first naval victory!
they don't look the types that would care. On youtube there are a few great docos on Emden and Sydney
Just
Wow...
That galaxy/fire transition tho.....
Glad you appreciate it! 😊
Mind-blowing 🤯💯
I found out about cocos Keeling island about 5/6 years ago watching sunrise on 7 🇦🇺 🇨🇨
Inspired 30 sec thirst trap. Islands look cool too.
The blue eyes glow at 0.58 remind me of Benn tk video "INDIA"... 😊 😊
This is really a master piece of filming art 👏 i want to go there 😂💪🏼 #filmmakingismypassion
Glad you enjoyed this! 💯
