My first animation job

Is teaching high school students animation. I landed at Applecross SHS under the wing of Liz Rankin, following up an email sent from FTI. Applecross are the "Special Art" school - they have a large program of art encouragement. So they are running animation this year and I lucked in. Following in the esteemable footsteps of Steven Grant :)
It's cool, they have dedicated laptops, and programs. However for the first couple of weeks they didn't have tablets (to draw into the computer with). So I started them with plasticine and found objects, and showed them this cat that I had prepared earlier - my own first attempt at stop-motion animation:


And lo, they were inspired...
