There interested in learning computer animation but when I start teaching them it, They see thats its not easy to learn, freak out and run away.

And since I am the only person on the Video and Animation team, Its hard to convince my fellow mechanical inclined team mates that what I do also contributes towards the team even though I have never touched the lathe. Therefore they don't see the need of helping to find a replacement.

How do I find and secure a productive animation team? does it require a specific type of personality? Have I not found the right people yet?
There is only one solution to the problem: the mentors have to assign someone to do the job. Preferrably a student whi applies for the job but if they can't find a canidate find a kid with nothing to do.
If they don't see it as essential then it will go by the wayside and not get done. It's really that simple, unfortunately.
