Since Atlantic was set up in 1992, the company has won and been nominated for many of the most coveted awards in television. Jerusalem: City of Heaven won an Emmy for outstanding achievement and was hailed by the critics as a powerful and captivating film. The five-part series The Promised Land was nominated for three Emmys, listed by Time Magazine among the top ten programmes of the year, and won the Best Series award at both the New York and Chicago film festivals. Munich: Mossad’s Revenge, The Mystery of the Three Kings, Who Killed Tutankhamun? and Building The Impossible: The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were all BAFTA-nominated. Apollo 13: The Inside Story was short-listed for a Grierson Documentary Award and nominated for a FOCAL International Award.

Atlantic aims to find ways to tell often complex and apparently inaccessible stories in order to bring them alive to wider audiences, making programmes which are critically acclaimed while simultaneously achieving strong ratings. We are constantly evolving our story telling techniques, embracing new techniques and technologies. The Greeks: Crucible of Civilization, produced for the BBC and PBS, was hailed by The New York Times as 'one of the first fully convergent media projects of the digital age'.

Atlantic is now developing projects that will live beyond broadcast television as major multi-platform events. Ueverest.com allowed a global audience to follow the progress of an expedition to the summit of Everest moment by moment through video feeds, photos, biometric data, online

diaries and blogs updated each day. Content from the expedition was also seenon a specially branded channel on YouTube and on AOL's documentary hub True Stories. Broadcast projects such as Egypt Unwrapped, Discovery Atlas: Italy Revealed and The Lost Pyramid have been accompanied by multi-platform projects featuring specially produced content. RevealingTheLink.com is an interactive, content-rich website on Ida built to accompany The Link. Using ground-breaking scholarship, carefully crafted dramatisation and cutting edge computer graphics, Atlantic is creating content that will be available via television, broadband, the web, podcast and even mobile phone.

Atlantic works closely with ZOO, a specialist digital graphics and special effects company for many of its programmes. Using the latest High Definition equipment, ZOO works for a wide range of clients including many of the world's leading broadcasters. The company's work combines traditional model-making techniques with the latest advances in computer animation to bring the past vividly to life. Since the company's inception, the team's work has been nominated for both BAFTA and Emmy awards. ZOO has recently created stunning digital graphics sequences for the series Egypt Unwrapped and Lost Worlds, as well as specials such as Predator X and Khubilai Khan's Lost Fleet. At the forefront of the latest digital effects innovations, the ZOO team used the very latest artificial intelligence animation technology for Hannibal: Enemy of Rome and Rameses: Wrath of God or Man.

Atlantic Productions' close collaboration with partners such as ZOO is allowing the company to build on its outstanding tradition in television production, and confirms the company's place as a leading producer of multimedia content in the 21st Century.
