Directed by Kia Simon, Momu’s music video for their song The Dive:
The dancers…swoop and glide around each other…as if…free falling through air, Kia took that footage and digitally hand-manipulated it, frame by frame, to blot out anything that might resemble the earth or earthly things. So you see no ground, no sky, no objects, the dancers neither come nor go, they just float in a nameless blue-white space

Blithe dancers move fluidly in suspension — a sensational anti-gravity experience set to equally ethereal music.

Directed by Kia Simon, Momu’s music video for their song: The Dive is dreamy, hypnotic.

Looking for Sly (a documentary directed by Kia Simon, Jonathan Crosby and Eve Conant) is a stunning portrait of a soul in the media centrifuge.

Looking for Sly (a documentary directed by Kia Simon, Jonathan Crosby and Eve Conant) is an unlikely odyssey without judgment or ridicule, giving us a portrait of a thoughtful, gentle spirit realizing an American Dream.

Directed by Kia Simon, Jondi & Spesh’s music video for their song The Sway: The track itself is haunting and melodious, and Simon overlays it with a noirish visual narrative that fits perfectly.

I have hired Kia and worked with her on dozens and dozens of jobs. She has it all; a great design aesthetic and is such a pleasure to work with. On the dozens of jobs I DID NOT hire her on she would always come through at the last minute to “save the day” from turning bad design into good design……in less than 24 hours. =)

We first hired Kia to create videos for two of our new wine brands that required out-of-the-box creativity and big energy, while of course on a restrictive budget and timeline. Not only was it a pleasure to work with her team, the results were exactly what we needed and game changing in our marketing programs. I highly recommend Sneaky Little Sister when people ask if I know a good video production company.

Kia and I have worked on projects together over many years. She is great at coming up with creative ideas quickly and turning the mundane into something exciting. Her efficient workflow and great people skills make her a pleasure to work with.

The Kenwood Group has worked with Kia Simon since 2006 to provide motion graphics for stand-alone videos as well as for event openers, stingers and speaker transitions. Kia is a wonderful collaborator, helping us develop great solutions for challenging budgets. She’s flexible, dependable and brings a positive attitude to solving problems and meeting tough deadlines. Kia has become a trusted resource for delivering great motion graphics.

Kia is a very creative animator who is an excellent collaborator in concepting creative as well as the technical details of each project. She works with us to think each project through from beginning to completion and has successfully turned many projects around on a tight deadline. I have worked with Kia over many years and greatly appreciate the talent and expertise she brings to our projects.

I’ve hired Kia Simon, of Sneaky Little Sister Films, on several occasions, resulting in the best possible results. In both cases the client needed guidance in strategizing a fresh visual approach, on a tight budget and timeline. The end result in each situation far surpassed those restrictions. Kia Simon is also enjoyable to work with; both the brainstorming and feedback sessions were a perfect blend of professionalism and a upbeat attitude toward problem solving.

Kia and I have brainstormed and played with concepts, we’ve produced great work on tight deadlines, and we’ve had the give and take that comes with working closely. She’s someone who can do all this with panache and style. I recommend her highly.

Kia is a tireless and focused creative force that inspires those around her.

…a true gem in the field of motion graphics.

Kia and her team of Darren Kani and Rob Astamendi did an amazing job creating a two minute animation for the launch of cybersecurity company Cloudmark’s new anti-spear-phishing product Cloudmark Trident. Of the seven content marketing pieces created for the launch, this was by far everyone’s favorite.

Really excellent work, great job of communicating a complex idea and making it extremely compelling. Especially creative transitions between scenes. Thanks so much!

Kia is an outstanding artist, but why I really wanted to take the time to recommend her is that she’s a true gem in the field of motion graphics.

Her work is thorough, always delivered correctly and on-time with a well organized project file to boot (wow folks- that IS rare!). She’s always willing to put in that extra finishing touch or go the extra mile, even when we’re on revision 5,687 and under a deadline. Kia keeps a great attitude throughout it all.

But honestly, just take a look at her work, it’s really creative, moving, and inspiring stuff and that’s not easy in the world of corporate communications!
