Beautiful videography! I was following Gone with the Wynn’s when they visited your island and started following you after that! When I heard about the eruption, I was so sorry to hear that you had lost your home and your whale business (I assume), but thankful that you guys were safe. I’m sure some of your friends from Tonga may not have been so lucky. 🙏🏻🙏🏻. I look forward to another video!
Dior, thank you for sharing your life through your beautiful filming and storytelling ... you're extraordinary! And it is a privilege to witness whatever you choose to share. Meanwhile, I'm wishing you and your parents strength and courage as you go back to your island & friends. You are beautiful people, and although loss of your home and relationship are indeed big hurts (sending ❤), I trust in the beauty and power of your natural surroundings -- the ocean and skies and all things wild and free -- and also in your Tongan community, to help hold and care for each other as you heal what you can, and find your way to a new home. Keep creating and expressing yourself!! There is no one on this whole earth like you, and your videos are an exquisite gift (hopefully for you, as well as for all of us). Peace and Joy!
...... ' a safety pin ' , then your laugh Dior. Brought all the reasons why I followed the Sheens life in paradise all this time. Just LOVED this vid. Stay strong and keep smiling. Missed Ya. x x ❤
Dior, great video! Love your parents. You’ve got good DNA! You have been exploring your life experiences and have come back to your roots and family. Not a bad choice, You’re young and smart. I’m rambling , thanks for the update.
Bravo Dior! This is a masterpiece of a recap. You are an amazing storyteller. Thank you for sharing your experiences in such an inspiring way. Also form my family to yours, wishing you clear skies and tailwinds!👏✊👍
Fantastic storytelling - so thinking you of you and your beautiful family as you return to Tonga. Safe passage and may you all support one another as you return to your island home. Looking forward to seeing your whale swim adventures this season. We loved our time with you on Wildlife several years ago. Sending much love, Jess, Simon, Mikah and James.
Touching video - and wonderfully edited. Can't even imagine what feelings you all will go through when returning to Tonga - all the best, cheers from Austria. M.
Thank you sweet family for offering yourselves, again, to show how blessed y’all are to know the bliss of island life, knowing all too well, the losses impressed upon you all over the last five years. We landlubbing, chicken-dogs are mighty timid about the oceans and really need the education you folks provide because we do recognize just how critical our oceans’ life is to all earthbound humans. You guys are the real pioneers for engineering the wealth of your island home. I think you just may be the light in our creators eyes. Be well. So happy to hear from you all. So worried about the tongaians. (?) following the eruption. Mother Nature kinda slapped all happiness out of us then.
Wow. This is one of the most authentic and emotionally powerful videos I've seen on RUclips. Masterful job on the editing. All the best to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your family history Dior. Storytelling with words that express authenticity, vulnerability, and truth is what makes a powerful story that impact other lives. We all can learn a lot from your family’s story. You're all beautiful humans and I look forward to watch this new exciting chapter of your life story unfold. Many blessings to all of you. 💙
I’m still here from the Dutch tv show Floortje naar het einde van de wereld (Floortje to the end of the world), and at that time I was so impressed by your life. Right now I’m still very impressed to see what your family has gone through. I love to watch your beautiful videos Dior. Keep it going :)
New subscriber here n glad I found you. Sorry for all your loss especially your brother.I’m empathetic to the extreme so this hit the feels hard. Can’t wait to follow this journey and offer support along the way.
The whale filming is eye opening as they remind me of ballet dancers with delicate precise moves exhibiting real awareness. Seeing the horses bathing is also pretty cool. Family sure had a lot of animals, cannot imagine feeding them all. Good to see you back with family.
Pleased to see you back online Dior. Can’t wait to follow your family’s adventures again in Tonga. True, it’ll be a hard slog to get back to what you’ve lost but it was a paradise before, it can be a paradise again 🏝 All the best. Can’t be there physically but am there in spirit and sending lots of positive & supportive vibes
Dior, your filming and editing skills improve every time. I hope for the best and safe travels as you head for this sad moment. Hopefully you and your parents will find some small joys. Your mom's laugh was gold! I know this probably doesn't mean much but I think you look more beautiful than ever! Hang in there, stay safe, we love you out here!......⛵⛵⛵
Thank you for sharing your families incredible and tough journey Dior. We hope you all have a safe and happy (uneventful!) voyage back to Tonga. 🇹🇴⛵️ Sue and I look forward to seeing you aboard Wildlife later this year. 🐳💕
This is incredibly well shot and edited. It really speaks to your eye for filmmaking, that you've got all this amazing footage over the years and can put it together to tell an equally beautiful and sad story. ❤
I really enjoy your stories, you keep growing as a filmmaker. It´s hard to put the right words and images to tell a story and seem like you´ve got what it takes! Congrats and keep´em coming! PS. Hope it´s not so painful seeing back your home after the volcano eruption! All best vibes from Argentina to WIldlife!
A great bit of story telling... It's good to understand the back story, and how the next part of the adventure builds.... Sending you all very best wishes for the future..
Hey from Canada 🇨🇦 Dior… your story telling has grown so much over the years. Keep it coming! Been watching you since the Wynns introduced you to so many of us….
How the lockdowns screwed all of us round the world. So hard watching you guys leave then when the volcano went and you said the about the loss of your home on the island. So very sad for you all hopefully you guys can rebuild and people will come in support you if you do get the business up and running. I will be here for the ride. Thank you for the content
Wow that was an incredible video. The way you tell your story is captivating. I found your channel originally when you met Nikki and Jason Wynn and have followed along. Wishing you and your family all the best for your return home and hopeful rebuild of your paradise.
Fantastic video, hopefully you guys can get back up and running again. Your camera work has really improved and it's been fascinating to watch you grow as a filmmaker over the years. Just need to smooth out the drone work. Most of the shots are great, but try to make fewer, smoother control inputs during your dynamic shots (ex. when using yaw input while flying forward), as the drones aren't great at smoothing out twitchy inputs. One thing that can help some people (including myself) is if you pinch the sticks between your thumb and index finger. More popular for FPV, but it can help regular cinematic drone work as well, as it gives you much finer control and balances out any twitchy muscle movements, especially if you are flying for more than a few minutes and your fingers start to fatigue, or in especially hot or cold weather. Just a tip from a fellow pilot, otherwise keep up the great work!
@@diorsheen Your work is already excellent, and I look forward to seeing more of it. One day I hope to be editing on your level, but for now I'm mostly relegated to the sticks...
I’m so glad you guys are heading back to give it another crack. Ya can’t kill spirit & you guys ooze community spirit. Safe journey across the big blue drink. 🤙🏽
Your going back. Great. Beautiful videography again - some new techniques from school? I look forward to seeing your future releases and don't mind waiting. Best wishes to all of you.
Dior / great to hear this update and love your personal documentary style of telling and editing your stories / very intuitive / and well i was wondering how you would survive civilization / ha? / you are growing into yourself and that's a never ending process / you are lucky, you got great friends in your parents too / keep in mind that the sadness shall pass to / just keep on dreaming and if you can find somebody to dream with great / but manage your expectations , and if you find a playmate and somebody you dream with can travel with on your path, you might just stumble on the future / food for thought
you need big philosophy to go through human life and its unexpected difficult turns, i have lost 3 times everythings in 10 years in different countries without it being my fault , but if you look ahead it is always a learning / advancing opportunity, spiritually. the question is : what do i do with this event and what do i need to learn.... fair winds and good luck , there is never a challenge that is beyond one s capability
The way everything has changed since covid. It was the most ligical thing to leave tonga when you did. It might have saved youre lifes. But now returning is also going to save youre life . Bad things are comming to the world and people need to be self reliant to survive as you all know how to be.

How very hard this is, how incredible that you're willing to try again, how I wish 1000 of us could be there to help you rebuild.
