W@W Videofest: Veluz by Notion in Motion

When a person finds her source of fulfillment, everything she does is cloaked with inspiration. In her family, Veluz finds her purpose. The wedding world knows her as the incredible talent, the designer with a knack for making any bride look her most beautiful on her wedding day. But above and beyond her public persona, for Veluz family is first.

This is what Leo and Rupert Nicolas of Notion in Motion capture in their film on Veluz for the 2015 WaW Videofest. The duo puts their video mojo to hard work in presenting a side of Veluz that most people don’t see. Using Veluz’s family members, Leo and Rupert present a personal perspective of this celebrated designer.

Leo candidly shares that they were actually shocked when they were invited to be part of the WaW Videofest. But it was also a great privilege for them to be considered for this videofest. It was a validation that the team is truly a part of the WaW wedding community.

The youngest and newest videographer in this year’s batch, Leo comes from a family of videographers. His exposure to weddings began as a child, while tagging along with his father who was a wedding photographer. It is just fitting that Leo gets the challenge to do the feature on Veluz’s family because family connections is very strong for him. He and his four brothers are all in the wedding videography business. Leo’s partner in Notion in Motion is Rupert, the family’s youngest. Plus their Kuya Bob is also one of the videographers for the Veluz videofest. Kuya Bob is none other than ace videographer Bob Nicolas. Weddings, indeed, are about family.

Speaking of which, while most people strive to achieve the work-life balance, through this film one can learn from Veluz that attaining the balance is not really the priority. Her life is her family and they are the foundation on which everything she does, including work, stand on. Without her beautiful family, she is nothing.

For those who are still looking for purpose, we invite you to pause for a while and watch this film by Leo and Rupert Nicolas of Notion in Motion. Maybe we can learn a thing or two on what really should matter in life from the truly blessed artist that we fondly call Veluz.
