June was HUGE!
The Motion House team is running hotter than the Bali sun right now. We kicked off the month with the highly anticipated Dream Machine festival, which had us capturing the socials and after-movie film content. We had four 12-hour days of captures which were spread across the Nusa Dua Peninsula, these included Merusaka, The Grand Hyatt, and Melia, each with their own DJ sets and pool parties every day, fair to say it was a hell of a time.
A special mention for the launch party that kicked off at Savaya Bali with our boys Peking Duk headlining the set. It was a sweat box and we loved every second of it.
There were over 2000 people that attended the festival, seeing that it was the first time the DM team has done a Bali event and we were blown away with how well it was put together, everything was branded, the beach balls, the bean bags, towels, fair to say the punters entered into a world of fun and incredible music.
The line-up was elite, it featured artists such as Spacey Jane, Vera Blue, Illy, San Cisco, Boy & Bear and more, every act was incredible, and we had so much fun capturing the energy of it.
Just when you think we'd be out on our feet (you’re right, we were) it didn't stop there. We wrapped up the event on Sunday evening and rolled straight into more captures. Jaran made his way over to the Maldives for The Living End for Music in Paradise, a week of live gigs and lifestyle captures with the rock n roll Aussie champions. Meanwhile, the Bali team transitioned straight into the launch of the House of Karma event, an under-35 creatives playground where we captured 2 days of events at the incredible Karma Kandara, cliffside in Uluwatu. We partied in the villas, had a delicious long lunch and danced as the sun set over the Bukit.
A quick breather for a few days collating the content and smashing it out in the editing vault and were into two back-to-back Journey Retreat events with fitness communities Move With Us and The Glute Academy. These week-long retreats took place at Komune Hotel where we saw amazing growth, workouts, and workshops with the likes of Rachel and Emma Dillon, Olivia May, Isabelle Mathers, amongst others. A huge achievement to Christian Miranda and his Journey team.
Throughout this action, the wedding team was focused on one of our biggest months, capturing 8 weddings over the 3 weeks in various locations around Bali, including an incredible elopement thanks to celebrant, Married By Moo, and a helicopter ride with Airborne Solutions to Kakadu national park in Australia’s Northern Territory.
Fair to say we are in full sprint and could not be more excited for what’s to come for the rest of the year. Thanks for tuning in to the life of Motion House, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
