Curator’s clip description

The five kids – Mike (Nikolai Nikolaeff), Pi (Cassandra Magrath), Bec (Frances Wang), Marcello (Paul Pantano) and Ram (Damien Bodie) independently discover the encrypted message in the web and intrigued, they each try to break it. One by one they do so and take on the challenge from Alexandra Davis (Nicki Wendt) to show how smart and quick they are. Each player is successful. They have reached the goal to achieve their dream job.

Curator’s notes

This opening scene to the Crash Zone series sets the tone with the fast editing, cool music, lots of rich colours and an inner urban setting. Each of the characters is introduced in their own homes – telling a lot about who they are. Ram loves making technical gadgets and lives in high-rise public housing, Pi lives in a grand home, Marcello is into making money, neat school girl Bec has to hide her game playing from her parents while Mike’s mum worries about the radiation.
