#filmmakers #contentcreators #creators #videography #videoproductionNEW DJI 360 Drone LEAKED! $489 Price is INSANE!TRIO Stories2026-02-04 | This is NOT supposed to be public...
We’ve found leaked information about a brand new 360 drone on the market… The DJI Avata 360 👀 All information in this video is based on unconfirmed leaks and rumours
In this video, we reak down the alleged specs, pricing, and features of what could be DJI’s most ambitious FPV drone yet. A hybrid design that blends full 360° capture with traditional FPV flying, all wrapped up in a brand new addition to the Avata lineup.
If this leak is legit, this isn’t just a new drone, it’s a shift in how FPV footage gets captured, making fpv more accessible for creators. Fly once. Choose the angle later. Break fewer drones.
If you’re intrigued about flying FPV drones - check out our video on how long it took for us to learn to fly the Avata 2 here: youtu.be/gCy9pVtIlA0
#adOur Narrative Christmas TV Commercial - SHOT ON Arri Alexa Mini LF ft. DreameTRIO Stories2025-12-24 | We wanted to share with you our first ever - Christmas Ad. We honestly couldn't be more proud to have filmed this piece. As you may know - we LOVE a narrative commercial. We are aiming to specialise more and more in Short Film style/narrative, commercial work and what's a BETTER excuse - than a heart-warming, Christmas Commercial.
This is our biggest project so far and it's a very fitting way to end 2025. If you're interested in how we made this, or have any questions about the filmmaking, or would like to see more breakdowns, let us know in the comments!

Nanlux Evoke 150CTRIO Stories2025-12-24 | We had a chance to test the new Nanlux Evoke 150C light, and we think it's a NEXT level light for filmmakers and videographers.
Reviews can be boring, so instead we planned "The Heist". One TOP SECRET TESTING FACILITY, A LOOKOUT and a tempting light fixture. The iconic action duo of TRIO is back with another mission. They have just 1min 50sec to get this done.
We present to you our overly elaborate, short film style preview of the Nanlux Evoke 150C.
Filmed with the Sony FX3 and @SIRUIImaging Anamorphic Lenses.
You know we love to get creative and we LOVE heists. We wanted to make a ‘subtle’, more creative presentation of the product, so we came up with this concept. The idea was to show some DOPE visuals, play with lights of course AND sneak in some of the key features into the production too.
As always, we do our best to take our filmmaking too far and we hope that this is another video that shows this. A big thank you to @NanliteGlobal for sending us this light. When it’s not playing the main character - it’s being used to light these scenes.
Huge thanks to Kacper Wozniak - the big Kazza for the late night help on this one. Top notch gaffer and Camera Assistant. OH and also - the debut of the Wozniak Dad, helping with some lighting set-ups!

We wanted to test this AstrHori 28mm Probe lens with our Sony FX3 to see whats actually possible… and what’s not. From using a diopter filter on an already maxed out macro lens to flame throwing it in our living room. We wanted to test some filmmaking techniques using ONLY a probe lens to find a unique shot that we’d want to use in future on a professional production.
Astrhori kindly sent us this lens , please feel free to check it out using our affiliate link below.
We're Sal & Bart - Filmmakers, Producers, Directors, Set Designer & DP duo. We run a production company TRIO Stories working with brands around the globe to create narrative vids.
This is a playful challenge, so if you would like more teaching, intel, techniques or more commentary on our tests we’re going to be releasing a LONNNG uncut version. Experimenting with new filmmaking techniques is a long and slow process, there are A LOT of things you learn along the way! So we can’t wait to share these in our “Unfiltered BTS of 6 Probe Lens Experiments” - COMING SOON.
We unbox a surprise from @falcam_geartree - their new Move Light Go, a remote control lighting system for videographers, filmmakers and photographers. It's perfect for studio shoots, but we think it's the ideal tool for solo videographers. It completely changes the game when setting up your talking head scenes and interviews - no more manually adjusting and readjusting lights.
This really wowed us. This is just a quick unboxing, preview and use case of the Move Light Go in action. We can't wait to use these in more creative scenarios, with lights changing mid take to change the mood or for a transition.

AstrHori 28mm f13 Probe LensTRIO Stories2025-09-06 | The 360° rotation of the lens is GOLD for out-of-the-box shots & especially when paired with the 90 degree periscope lens.
Shot 3 we are buzzing about. We rigged up the rotation ring with the SmallRig Fiz Follow Focus system (as it has the same gears as the manual focus/aperture ring). We had Kacper rotate the lens as I pulled focus simultaneously to show the toppings falling onto the pizza and add the movement to follow it down. Probe lens shots can be a little bit ‘stale’ and samesies at times so it was fun experiment with some new moves.
Also when we smushed the lens into pizza sauce or the dough or even Kazza’s mouth - it’s a good job that this lens is waterproof so again can get super creative with where you stick it 😏

And maybe cameras. Possibly a lens or two...
Turning your bathroom into a film set is not often the easiest feat. Especially, when you had the crazy idea, at the most unexpected of times. We just wanted to see, if we could create some epic light rays, how that would turn out and we ended up down a cinematic lighting rabbit hole.
One of the most fun videos we've filmed in a while. It feels like being back to our roots. Playing with lights, having fun, making vids. As well as copious amounts of comedy (can't believe how DESTRUCTIVE Sal can be), plenty of filmmaking lessons and nuggest sprinkled throughout.

We take you behind the scenes of a 24-36 hour intense prep and shoot day of a commercial project for Amazfit with European champion runner Yeman Crippa. We run a production company TRIO Stories, and take on content creation projects for brands. In this case, we were tasked to create 3 short vertical videos and a photography set to announce the athletes partnership with the brand.

This vlog is shot entirely on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. It has become our favourite camera, and the one we reach for most when we're on the go. All the BTS shots are from the OSMO, and all the audio is native, not via DJI mics, but just original through the camera audio.

So we took the BRAND NEW 20mm T1.8 1.33x Autofocus Anamorphic lens with the Sony A7SIII, to the mountains of Norway and threw ourselves down the mountain. We’ve collected some sample shots of this lens so you can have a sneak peek at the footage before the OFFICIAL release day.
There’s some handheld footage, gimbal stuff, we experimented and definitely risked our gear for these shots. @SIRUIImaging sent us to the mountains with their new lenses to create the product launch video - and they were amazing to let us share this on our channel too.
I (Bart) and obsessed with skiing, so it was amazing to pair my two passions.
The fact that we have access to an AUTOFOCUS anamorphic lens still blows my mind. The AF in the 20mm is even improved from the 40mm, and we much prefer the wider framing. We’ve zoomed in most of the footage as we were shooting on a full frame camera and this is a S35 frame lens. We’re super hyped to have an anamorphic lens for run and gun filmmaking.
The quality it delivers is outstanding, the flaring is really epic, and has the blue or natural flare options - we chose more neutral flare for the golden hour mountain vibes. With regards to the size, we had zero issues with handheld or the gimbal while skiing, its super compact. We can't wait to dive in more but this lens is a BANGER.

#Filmmaking #Cinematography #CommercialProduction #Director #BehindTheScenes #SetLife #Videography @TRIOStoriesStillness of Singapore Cinematic Vlog - SIRUI 50mm 1.6x Anamorphic LensTRIO Stories2025-02-05 | There’s something about shooting Anamorphic that gets you LITERALLY hooked. While on our trip to Asia, we spent a couple of days in Singapore and let’s just say - it was not at all what we expected. Check out what we found, through the lens of our trusty Sony A7SIII, with the @SiruiIMAGING VENUS 50mm T2.9 1.6x Anamorphic lens.
We were travelling super light, no gimbal and not even a decent tripod, so all of this was shot handheld and manually focussed on the lens itself (no follow focus or anything). We did however have our @Accsoon SeeMo 4K with us, on top of the camera, paired with an iPhone 13 Pro to be able to monitor de-squeezed footage on the go.
This is the third SIRUI VENUS lens to add to our collection (We also own the 35mm and the 75mm T2.9 1.6x) We continue to use the set all the time, with the price VS quality being honestly fantastic. It is not without its flaws, for example the flare can sometimes be a little bit strong, but overall - the lenses are an amazing way to dip into the anamorphic world, without breaking the bank.

Thanks Sirui for sending us the SQ75 Tripod - this is a perfect options for filmmakers looking to invest in their first cinema tripod! Get discount on the Sirui SQ75 Video Tripod using our code TRIO5.

#filmmaking #filmmakingtutorial #videography #cinematography #cinematicCinematic Short Film Commercial - Sony A7Siii Ecoflow Product Launch AdTRIO Stories2024-07-23 | This is the second commercial, from a set of 3 that we created for Ecoflow, for the product release of the River 2 Pro power station. Unlike most product launches, particularly for tech, we wanted to create this Cinematic Short Film. With this film, we built on a small 'universe' that we created, with each of the regions, having their own Doctor, Professor or some kind of 'hero' to introduce the product. A world that shows a unique side to the brand. We've since made a bunch of short film commercials like this, and we like to call this "Cinematic Commercial Filmmaking".
We essentially take all of our Indie Filmmaking knowledge that we've learned over the last 7 years, and combine it with the challenge of marketing a product or brand. This means we get to practice our storytelling and creativity whilst making money and growing our production company.
We hope you liked this film! If you're interested in how we made this, or have any questions about the filmmaking, or would like to see more breakdowns, let us know in the comments!

AND with only a specific set of lights!?
We go above and beyond with set design, costume, lighting, cinematography, vfx and more.
Ladies & Gents, we are bringing you one of our biggest productions so far. A seemingly IMPOSSIBLE Lighting challenge, where we re-create 4, beautiful film scenes in just 12 hours. We partnered up with Nanlite, who set the bar really high and provided us with some super cool lights to make this a reality.
As always, we do our best to take our filmmaking too far and we hope that this is another video that shows this. From adding an extra, bonus scene, through to laying our own floor - we pulled out the stops for this one. Huge thank you to @NanliteGlobal without whom, this challenge would not have been possible.
If you enjoyed this video, you will probably enjoy another lighting challenge, where we lit 4 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT scenes in a TINY AirBnB: youtu.be/5Ht_1kq6yxU

Do this instead. #filmmaking #videography #filmingtips #ndfilterTRIO Stories2024-06-29 | Just look at the difference between a decent Variable ND filter and a good quality fixed ND. Do you think it's time to ditch the VND? With today's ISO performance of most cameras and the fast lenses, surely even with a fixed ND we have enough flexibility for most use cases? Isn't it worth the big quality upgrade?Waterproof Microphone Test!?

Turns out - they are quite a fun little set-up in a compact package.
