During the four years working with this group he collaborated over 50 different projects, ranging from video installations, design, live audion visual performances, visual sets, curation, children’s workshops and 25 experimental music videos (several of which still end up on late night MTV slots, 16 of which were commercially released by Domino Records and Leaf Records).

 

In 2005, Eoghan wrote and directed his first short film Stars, which picked up Best Animated Film at the 2005 Galway Film Fleadh, and a further 7 awards on the festival circuit. After further work on commercials for Coca-Cola, Hard Working Class Heroes Festival The Den/The Ark co-production Save That Robot, Eoghan left the Delicious 9 collective in 2006.
