A newly released Irish ‘indie animation anthology’ from Late Night Work Club, whose admirable manifesto states:
Late Night Work Club is a loose, rotating collective of indie animators. That is, animators who do independent, non-commercial work. It’s an excuse to bring a whole bunch of us together and make something great, and also to promote the work of the artists involved. Some of the best, most personal, experimental and vital animation going right now is happening on the internet. It’s being made late at night when other people have gone to sleep and on weekends when everyone else is out. It’s being made by students, freelancers, full-timers and folks with unrelated day jobs. It means something to us. It’s our scene.
Animations featured: 0:45 – I Will Miss You by Dave Prosser; 04:46 – The Jump by Charles Huettner; 07:22 – The American Dream by Sean Buckelew; 09:53 – Mountain Ash by Jake Armstrong & Erin Kilkenny; 14:29 – Rat Trap by Caleb Wood; 16:23 – Loose Ends by Louise Bagnall; 18:47 – Phantom Limb by Alex Grigg; 23:02 – Asshole by Conor Finnegan; 25:22 – Ombilda by Ciaran Duffy; 29:39 – Post Personal by Eamonn O’Neill and 32:31 – Last Lives by Scott Benson
