    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.
