CloudKid Studios is easy to miss.

The five-man animation company, headed by Watertown artist Dave Schlafman, rents space above law offices at 134 Main St., right in the center of town. But CloudKid keeps a low profile.

“No one really knows we’re here,” said Schlafman, a Bradford Road resident who moved to Watertown three years ago. “We’re a small team, and we don’t need a lot of space.”

But with an Emmy nomination and a host of exciting new projects coming up, the children’s media company is going to have a hard time staying out of the limelight.

CloudKid’s main production — PBS’ Web-only series “Fizzy’s Lunch Lab” — just wrapped up production on its maiden season. The Internet shorts, created in 2007, landed the group a daytime Emmy nomination for new approaches in children’s programming.

CloudKid Nominated for a Daytime Emmy!

We were recently notified that Fizzy’s Lunch Lab was nominated for a 2010 Daytime Emmy Award for the “New Approaches in Children’s Media” category.  We are still in shock – coolest thing ever. It was a year to the day that PBS green-lit season one, so it was an amazing first birthday for Fizzy and co.

A huge thank you goes out to all the writers, actors, artists, animators, PhDs, etc who helped us make an awesome web series. Hopefully more good to come as we were recently green-lit for a season 2. Great news all around.  CloudKid will be co-producing Season 2 with Boston-based post production house, Hero-for-Hire.
