Our Animated Argyll adventure began in Oban, and what a start! @jimparkyn Alasdair Satchel and Jack Lockhart, worked with incredible students from local schools they got hands-on making plasticine characters, watched the iconic Curse of the Wererabbit, and discovered what a career in animation could look like — and let’s just say the feedback spoke for itself! We also hosted a community cinema meet up and a CPD session for teachers. A huge thanks to @therockfieldcentre for hosting us. Next stop: Mull! Can’t wait to meet more brilliant young creatives in Craignure and @antobarandmulltheatre Thanks to support from @screenscots and @filmhubscotland
