ANIMATION CLUB!!! was created in mid August 2006 as a
collaborative animation group. The group challenged
themselves to make a short animation on a given theme every
week. That year, ANIMATION CLUB!!! took these short
animation and participated in the Melbourne Digital
Fringe's 'Mobile Projection Unit' project, and won the
Australian Student U Film Festival. The club also had films
screened in bars for the Melbourne International Arts
Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
In 2007, the club collaborated on a short film, ‘Eyes Wide
Open’, for the 2007 TROPFEST Short Film Festival. The film
was short-listed in the top 36 films and was screened in
cinemas in most major cities in Australia. 'Eyes Wide Open'
was also selected to screen at Ars Electronica in Austria
later that year.
ANIMATION CLUB!!! have also collaborated on a music video
for Australian band Yidcore and also made a second short
film, 'Buzzword Compliant'.
