We started off as Studio Assistants for a studio space at Baruch College. Studying the same minor, New Media Arts (NMA), we had a common interest in arts and storytelling. As studio assistants, we worked well together. This beginning relationship as coworkers also marked the start of our friendship.
Saturday Shift at the Studio became the 3rd home for us. We turned it into a creative space. Some days, we had guitar lessons (lectured by Allison) and on other days we would screen a movie and enjoy BBQ Chicken on the side. One time we even tried karaoke and Kpop dancing. Happy times went by very quickly and we would always be leaving the studio past closing time. Our friendship grew in between these productive sessions.
As NMA students, we believe we can create a compelling piece of work - easy peasy. And so we brainstormed all the crazy ideas we had and started world building, and character design. But before we could brainstorm any further, we got stuck rock hard. So we took a step back. We spent one session brainstorming a short and simple story using our halfway developed characters, finalized our plot, and gave it a title. And there, we have it, the birth of a short animation story called Evening’s End.
Now that we have a story, we wanted a brand. A brand name that defines who we are as a group as well as us as individuals. After endless brainstorming, we identified something we all enjoy: chicken. With a future ahead of us that is not yet clear, we define as explorers seeking an adventure ahead of us. And that, marked the birth of Cloudy Chicken. We, the ultimate CLOUDY CHICKEN with not one, not two, but a quad on a journey to create the world’s greatest work.
