Produced for Village Arts an animation workshop for pupils of Rosecroft Secondary School in Loftus run by Dave Brunskill of Animha Productions. In the first part of the film pupils working in two groups to produce two short black and white cut out animations.

Title: Village Arts Animation Workshop with Rosecroft School Loftus at Stable House Autumn 1999 In a classroom eight students work in two groups to plan-out and create characters and backgrounds for their black and white cutout animations. In another part of the room, they work together to animate the cells they’ve created using a video camera mounted on a tripod. Title: Village Arts presents The Consequences A large rabbit appears on stage to the applause of the watching audience, a large banner across the stage reads ‘The Rosecroft Rabbit Show.’ He tells the audience that he is going to tell them a story about a girl he once knew who got pregnant at an early age and how she coped with the consequences. Rosie the young rabbit is at home rocking the crib of her baby Tommy. She takes a telephone call inviting her to a party and asks her mother in the kitchen if she will babysit Tommy. She says no as she looks after him all day when she is at school. Back in her bedroom Rosie is woken at midnight by a crying Tommy. The next day she runs into two friends in the street while taking Tommy for a walk, the film ends on them saying what a shame it is that she isn’t able to come to the party.

As the teacher turns around to write a maths equation on the blackbird Emily is slapped by the girl sitting next to her. In the playground Emily asks the girl why she hit her, she replied because she liked it and pushes Emily to ground causing her to start crying. In the dining room the girl knocks a tray out of Emily’s hand. In the toilet Emily speaks with a friend of the bully who says she is no longer the girl’s friend. Back in the playground all the children tell the bully that they don’t like what she does. The bully leaves looking sad.
