You two rock! Great vid guys!

[@TRIOStories]

Thank you so much Adam! So glad you enjoyed this one. How are you getting on? Keeping busy? :)

[@kieranhayesphotography]

Great video 👍 You gotta love those lanterns.

[@TRIOStories]

Yeah! We're starting to use it a bit more, before that we were just always using the softboxes for everything. There's still some improvements we can make for sure, but we won't get there without experimenting right!?

[@ishoyor]

Have I said I love you guys... Because I love you guys ❤❤❤

[@TRIOStories]

Thank you so much! We love you too and we appreciate you being here so much.

[@zavadventures]

this looks so good guys! these interview bits were so crucial in the ironman video.

[@TRIOStories]

Absolutely - this was the only way we could 'fill the gaps' in the not-so-comprehensive footage library :) Thank you team

[@marcinzawadzinski]

these small yet powerful Zhiyun G200 lights are perfect to mount overhead in a small space. Also you're talking about my favourite topic in interviews: "lighting spaces not only faces". Next level guys! Beautiful :)

[@TRIOStories]

Thank you supreme gaffer! Really appreciate it lad. We will make it even better next time :)

[@BenjiSelby]

Hahaha that ending 😂 intrusive thoughts for the win!
The way yall set up your shots I would have thought your office was massive! Diggin the lantern with the skirt on it, top down lighting with a little bounce is a vibe!

[@TRIOStories]

Thank you so much Benji! Yeah the office looks big - but actually it's just a lil' bedroom :D So glad you liked it. I think we can get even more out of the top-down lantern set up though, we just need a bit more fill/bounce from the bottom and we think there's more potential to be squuuuoze! :) Sending love your way

[@Calvin.The.Unfindable]

very excellent. some great tips and ideas there. i like how you had a say at the end on what you would do differently, we all have chance to learn that way. bravo. excellent video.

[@TRIOStories]

Thanks so much Calvin! Yes, this is something we are actually going to try and include more in our videos. We really want to be more transparent and base our content on being 100% honest and self-critical at times too, since we find it to be the best way to learn ourselves. We're glad to hear that it is also helpful from an outside perspective :)

[@zawadzkizawadzinski]

very nice setup guys! Very nicely graded as well! This cinematic teal background works magic in this scenario

[@TRIOStories]

Thank you team! Really appreciate it. Also - you two are not far off 1K subs now for real :O Let's get it!!!!

[@zawadzkizawadzinski]

so close yet so far :P but we're trying to push as much as we can :)@@TRIOStories

[@PavSZ]

good one guys!

[@TRIOStories]

Thank you Pav! 😊❤️ Hope you’re good 😊

[@lifebyadam]

0:38 Loved this part 😂

[@TRIOStories]

hahahah :D We're always trying to make you smile :)

[@amoktimeflies]

I really rather like this stuff (trying not to 'gush' 😂) subbed (and I NEVER do that either 🤣) 👏👏👏👏 🖖

[@TRIOStories]

Yeaaah! So so happy to hear it and we promise to do our best not to disappoint. We've got some really cool videos coming up so stay tuned for those ;)
