London Animation Club Productions
Since 2013 London Animation Club has produced a group film, two commissioned anthology programmes of shorts and a live streaming event during Lockdown. London Animation Club is currently working on the podcast ANIMATION ON THE RADIO.
1. Short film: Exquisite Corpses (2013)
A London Animation Club produced a group film, an animated version of the old Surrealist game of the same name. Each contributor made a four-second animation, making sure that the last frame of their animation becomes the first frame of the next contributor’s. The rules were set by Emma Calder, who also designed the title sequence.

2. Anthology programme: HC13 (2013)
In 2013 London Animation Club (LAC) was commissioned to produced a one-hour programme of outstanding animations for Hong Kong Contemporary 13 (HKC13), an annual international art fair at the Excelsior Hotel in Hong Kong, from 24th to 27th May 2013. The programme features work by seventeen of the club’s core members and is the club’s first screening outside London.

3. Anthology programme: Am1nation (2015/18)
A programme of animations for the One Minute Hull Artists’ Moving Image Festival on 6th November 2015, commissioned by Kerry Baldry. The majority of the films are by regular members or guest speakers at London Animation Club. I revised the programme in 2018.
4. London Animation Club Television (2020-2022)
Test transmission for the H&B@80 event, 8th May 2020
During Lockdown, we started live broadcasts through FaceBook and subsequently through the London Animation Club YouTube channel. They were hosted by Martin Pickles and produced by Tom Lowe. Some of the initial events, such as the Halas & Batchelor at 80-screening, were originally planned as live events at our usual venue, so there was actually a lot of continuity. We still occasionally do live streams from the Green Man.
