Last week Viacom’s MTVN Entertainment Group relaunched AtomFilms.com as Atom.com, which will aim to “provoke, break rules and uncover talent much as
Comedy Central did at its inception on cable.” Several Flash-animated series live in the Atom Originals section, including….

…Samurai Love God, which was created by Eric Mahoney, and animated at Jordan-based Crazy Piranha.

And here is Window Seat, a series animated at Radical Axis.

And here’s the crudely-animated series from Scrubs-writer Ryan Levin, Benny, Escaped Convict:

As spotted on Drawn! and Channelfrederator.com, 5ON is Devin Clark’s 6-part series that “interviews anything on everything.” The Immigration episode below is up over 100,000 views at Atomfilms.com, and you can also see Director’s Cuts at devinclark.com.

Celia Bullwinkel added her animation skills to the project.

As announced here a week back, the Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge was recently held at AtomFilms. CHF regular Anton Bogaty took home some hardware for Best Animated Movie for his short IG-88: The Dancing Robot.

Congrats to all who entered and to the winners.

Thanks to Spencer Brinkerhoff III for the story tip.

A few years back, Atom Films released ‘Soybean,’ a Flash-animated sci-fi short by Milton Pool. It’s wall-to-wall action, beautifully animated and full of hot, voluptuous, scantily-clad women. Or maybe they’re not women, but they sure do bounce like women.

Two years later, Milton, under the Primal Instinct Productions banner, has released a new short called ‘Akumi,’ which bears many similarities to ‘Soybean.’ It’s packed with gorgeous, fully-animated action, and a voluptuous, scantily clad woman. The only difference here is that ‘Akumi’ features graphic nudity and a violent rape scene that you probably don’t want to watch at work.

Here’s a quote lifted from the production company message boards:

I wanted to create an extremely sexual, violent and action-packed film. I didn’t want it to hold back in any way with the extreme content and visuals. And yes, I wanted to shock people.

Well, it worked. I went from mouth agape at the beauty of the animation, layout and designs (and that cool blood effect) to mouth agape at the level of sexual content included in the second half.

The goal is to find funding for ‘Akumi,’ and turn it into a full-time project, complete with a DVD release. Thinking ahead, there’s already been mention of a ‘censored version’ of the project.

Dustin Remmel wrote the outline script and David Johnson added sound effects.
