Luka was dressed as a giant speed camera, referencing a recent political drama when Nika saw him in the line to a nightclub. She liked that he didn\u2019t take himself too seriously, so they started talking and haven\u2019t stopped since.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luka is from Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, and Nika is from Bled, a small town in the north of the country, home to one of the most beautiful freshwater lakes on the planet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When they met, Nika was studying fashion and working as a model, and Luka was running his own production company. \u201cSo she was in front of the camera, and I was behind the camera,\u201d Luka says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today they\u2019re chatting from their van in Portugal, where they\u2019ve spent the last few weeks filming <\/span><a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/stock-footage\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stock footage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Artlist. Remote working, van living, and filmmaking have been their dream ever since they met, and teaming up with Artlist helped them become a reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch Feelm\u2019s artistic journey in our Artlist creator spotlight documentary, and read on for the full story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Go on a vanlife adventure | Artlist presents: Feelm filmmaker spotlight\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L6hvjERgzj8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After they met, they soon discovered a shared love for film, composition, and travel, and as their relationship formed, so did their creative partnership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their first trip around Europe together was an eye-opening experience. They were great travel companions, and both loved documenting their adventures through film. As they traveled through the Philippines, Bali, Nicaragua, the US, Italy, Croatia, and Montenegro, their catalog of footage grew, along with their collection of camera equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>An alternative future<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Nika and Luka loved their busy careers, they soon realized their hearts were elsewhere. So in 2010, they hired a van and traveled around the Balkans, a trip that changed their perspective \u2013 not just on how to travel, but how to live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When they got home, they started making plans to build a life with more flexibility and freedom. <\/span>\u201cWe always had so many joint projects and a wish to travel,\u201d Luka says. \u201cSo I left my production company, and we started pursuing our projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pair had been sharing footage long before they started working with Artlist and even used Artlist\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/artlist.io\/royalty-free-music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">music library<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to soundtrack the short films they made. So when they saw Artlist expanding into video, they decided to share some of their work. As filmmakers themselves, they knew exactly what other creatives were looking for.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI used to find it limiting that I could only buy one shot, and if I changed my mind, I had to buy another one,\u201d <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luka says. \u201cBut with Artlist, you can download an entire sequence and have total freedom to create.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feelm and Artlist were a match from the start, and during their first year working together, Feelm shared some of the community\u2019s most downloaded films. When Feelm received their first paycheck from Artlist in 2018, they were pleasantly surprised by the amount. Finally, they were able to pursue their dream. So they bought a van and hit the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The perfect shot<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was early 2020, just before COVID hit, when Nika spotted the perfect shot. Luka was working on the bed of their van from his tablet, and the back doors were wide open to reveal a cobalt sea framed by a flamingo-pink sunset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nika knew it was the perfect shot, so they quickly set up their equipment and started rolling. It couldn\u2019t have come at a better time \u2014 the world was heading into lockdown, and Feelm had captured a moment the world was craving. It\u2019s still one of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/artlist.io\/stock-footage\/clip\/woman-camping-laptop-sunset\/112386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artlist\u2019s most downloaded videos.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-10965-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/112386_Woman-typing-on-a-laptop-in-an-open-camper-van-on-the-sea-coast-at-sunset_By_Feelm_Artlist_HD.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/112386_Woman-typing-on-a-laptop-in-an-open-camper-van-on-the-sea-coast-at-sunset_By_Feelm_Artlist_HD.mp4\">https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/112386_Woman-typing-on-a-laptop-in-an-open-camper-van-on-the-sea-coast-at-sunset_By_Feelm_Artlist_HD.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/artlist.io\/stock-footage\/clip\/woman-camping-laptop-sunset\/112386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Woman Camping Laptop Sunset\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artistically speaking, Feelm has a distinct style.
