In early November 2001, Atomic was approached by Perth's eCentral TAFE campus with a proposal to bring our very own Captain Atomic to life, via the talent of 43 graduating Diploma in Technology (Interactive Media) students.
The plan was simple; ask a bunch of tech savvy artists to create a scenario where our Hero was sucked into a videogame, building an animation around that central theme for their final assessment task. After viewing the twelve finalist entries, it is exceedingly obvious that all twelve works deserve absolute top marks.
