Shot this a couple of weeks ago on a saturday morning, Quicksilver pro was on down at snapper which they moved to Duranbah, next beach along, so thought I would knock off a couple of shots, then went to snapper and caught these young body boarders playing around in the shallow break just to the right of snapper, got to be honest I enjoyed the the boogie boarders more.
Its like this every week!!
love it...

    Yeah dude those shots of the boogie boarders are rad!
    Was that your EX3-letus setup at 00.11?

    Just checked out your profile, I moved to Melbourne at the start of last year, from living and working as an editor in Brighton UK also. Started a production company in Melbourne with my Aussie girlfriend, its hard to getting going tho, If your ever working in Melbourne and need extra arms call us up.
    all the best

    GREAT Film you got here allen, love the sync of the music with the video, perfect timing on everything. My favorite was on 1:49 and the shot on 2:28 is AWESOME as well. Job well done sir

    wonder why it says it's over 7 minutes long tho??
  •  
  • allen mechen 8 months ago
    Thanks Jtec, yeah I can't answer why its saying 7 mins.
    could be a tech issue with vimeo.
