While he was a student, he began to create and post videos on Australian and American politics, as well as current events. One popular video posted during the 2007 Australian federal election depicted Kevin Rudd in a mock propaganda film based on material produced by the Communist Party of China during the rule of Mao Zedong.[2][3] He appeared on ABC television political program Insiders on 16 March 2008 as part of the "Talking Pictures" segment.[4] CareerAtkin has created several popular YouTube videos related to the 2008 US President election.[5] His video entitled "Barack Roll", including Barack Obama in a parody of the Rickrolling internet meme, has been watched over seven million times since it was uploaded on 9 August 2008,[6] and was also highlighted on blogs for The New York Times,[7] Politico,[8] Comedy Central,[9] Andrew Sullivan[10] and Sports Illustrated.[11] He previously worked as a lawyer for Mallesons Stephen Jaques, an Australian commercial law firm,[12] and was subsequently employed as a Tipstaff at the Supreme Court of New South Wales.[13] Atkin is now studying for a post-graduate law degree at the University of Oxford. He took a week out from his studies to produce a new video for the 2012 US elections called "Will the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up" with over 4.5 million views in six months. The video now has more than 9 million views. Atkin also produced a video called "U Didn't Build That" featuring President Obama. References1. ^ABC (2008). Unleashed.
