Father's day is a special time to reflect here at Koi-Fly Creative.β
πβ
Did you know that the name Koi-Fly was inspired by both of our founders' dads? Stacey's dad had an affinity toward his koi fish whom he treated as his own children and Eric's father designed helicopters.(Get it? Koi and Fly?).β
π
Stacey and Eric's fathers both passed away years ago but their guiding light still helps us navigate daily decisions at Koi-Fly Creative.β
ππΌβ
We want to show you a video that we worked on with the International Rescue Committee to celebrate all fathers, especially those that have been separated from their children because of war and immigration.β
π¨βπ©βπ¦β
Just be warned, it's a tear-jerker.β

This is a frame grab from a video that has a special place in our heart for multiple reasons [check out the full video in the link in our bio].β
π±β
1. State and self-imposed quarantine has made us appreciate that we each have a safe place to call home. There are so many people in our community that don't have that luxury. We created this video to support @covenanthousepa whose mission is to serve the homeless youth of PA.β
ππ½β
2. We created this pro-bono video though our Fresh Filmmakers program, a film and video mentorship initiative for disadvantaged high schoolers in our community.β
π½οΈβ
Our goal is to give young BIPOC opportunities they might not have otherwise and increase the diversity of our company and the industry as a whole.β
ποΈβ
But the point isn't necessarily to have the Fresh Filmmakers fall in love with the film and video industry, it's to hopefully let them find an outlet for creative expression, a proven way to fight stress, fear, and anxiety.β
βΊοΈβ
The FF crew did an amazing job with the production of this project from start to finish including:β
β
Storyboardingβ βοΈβ
Budgetβ ing π²β
Scripting πβ
Shooting π¬β

We are so proud of our first Fresh Filmmakers group and can't wait for the next round!β

What does it take to pull off a virtual graduation?β
π¨π»βππ©πΎβπβ
It takes a few things, actually. It takes a talented team, must-have equipment, and a brilliant director. β
π₯β
But most importantly? It takes LISTENING.β
ππ½β
We've all done a bit extra listening the past couple weeks and we're telling you, it pays off.β
π§‘β
Listen to your client and their needs. Listen to your neighbor and their needs. Listen to your family and their needs.β
πͺβ
You'll find the answers if you just open your ears.β

It's all about location, location, location.
Reminiscing on this shoot with @livelifenice.
We've all had to get a little creative with our jobs nowadays and teachers are a prime example.β

Teachers who lead traditional subjects like science and math have been on the news for weeks now - but we haven't heard about how PE teachers are adapting during this pandemic.β
