Time to dust off Grandpa’s tux, cuz Atom is going to the Streamys! That’s right, a bunch of Atom creators are nominated for Streamys, the web’s premiere awards show. Remember back when we asked you guys to nominate your favorite videos? Well, it paid off!  Thanks to your help, some of your favorite shows are now finalists.  Out of thousands of submissions, and hundreds individual shows, the top five were narrowed down by the IAWTV. Indeed, we’re very proud of all the nominations. ..

Some of you may remember earlier, when I reported that we shot a short with Mr. Show’s Paul F. Tompkins and Rich Sommer from Mad Men. Well, it comes out later next week (on the 30^th, save the date!), and let me tell you, sir, it is magnificent. In honor of Sketch of the Dead’s impending release, here are a few more pictures from the fateful day of production. Years from now, we’ll look back on these photos (in some deeply guarded archive, no doubt) and marvel at the humble beginnings of the short that would alter the world as we know it forever (Editor’s note: It probably wont).

Comedy’s Paul F. Tompkins and Serious, Period AMC Drama’s Rich Sommer sacrificed their Wednesday (and their top layer of face skin) to shoot the soon to be released Zombie-Com, Sketch of the Dead for all you Atom-heads. I was on set to bring them waters, lift heavy things and throw blood at the walls. Director Mike Rotman has been burning the midnight oil to get the short into your hot little hands. In the meantime, you’ll have to be satiated with this on-set photo.

Look forward to Sketch of the Dead to be released later this year!

Where does the modern bully come from? They must have parents, right? Well, their unprotected tryst may have resulted in creating the bane high-school experience, but at least we can create comedy from that misery. When it’s time to get down to some sweet, good natured, respectful love-making with your partner, Trojan is here to make sure that you help prevent mistakes like the bone-heads featured in these videos.

This dude doesn’t need any more caffeine, anyway.
