Haveing trouble passing on the torch

[BuddyB309]

I'm a seinor in right now and next year I wont be on the team because I'll be in collage. I am the only person who works with videos or 3ds max and I'm having trouble getting oncoming freshmen to stay with the program. 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?
