COCKLE CREEK IN TASMANIA BLEW OUR MINDS! WE GO ALL THE WAY SOUTH AND WE FALL IN LOVE!

Listen...I know how it always sounds. . ."So EPIC!" "THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!" "COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!" But seriously, a lot of the places we went to in Tasmania were just that! We didn't think we would be going to Cockle Creek. Plans changed again, met an old fella in Franklin who convinced us that whole trip would be worthwhile. . .and he certainly wasn't wrong! When you see the footage, you'll see what I mean. . .it was just such a sick spot.
Very well protected from the winds and unfortunately the swell also, which was a bit of a bummer. But the calm waters were nice for swimming and the kids too.
On the way there we stopped in Franklin for a cheap night and then did a long weekend at a packed Huon Valley Caravan Park for the kids. Not heaps of footage from there as I was editing a bit and hanging out the rest of the time. Plus, I prefer to shoot the nice stuff - vans packed on top of each other isn't exactly that nice.
Huonville was nice though - we went op shopping and bought a bunch of warm stuff. A scarf that I still have with me now saved my life as we travelled through Tasmanaia and again along the Great Ocean Road a month or so later.
Anyways - the construction of this one is a bit disjointed as we didn't actually film many pieces to camera as it turns out. But I think it's come together alright. Well, we enjoyed watching it hahaha! Our own worst critics too.
Hope you enjoy watching! 🙏
Please like, comment and sub if you can. We really appreciate it. 👌

    Thanks man! 🙏 Yeah, we want to go back too... Still so much we didn't see and we'd love to finish the trip properly down there. 👍 LUTS? Only transform LUTS for the RED as it gives you the IPP2 Colour and what not that I want, Canon as a transform for the log to REC 709 and sometimes for the DJI LOG, but sometimes I get better without the transform for that stuff. . . Can't stand the LUT movement to be honest. I just grade to my eye and what it looked like in the moment, with a little creative license.
