Stressed Out Project
Working with Fairbridge in Scotland, Red Kite ran an animation workshop as part of their Living Skills course. Funded by First Light and RBOS, the group of young people made a five minute film on the subject, Stressed Out, which went on to win an Engage Scotland Visual Arts Award.

The Quest of One
The Quest of One was a one-to-one project offering a young adult the opportunity to make an animated film in the Red Kite studio. Rachel Bevan Baker, an award winning Animation Director and experienced Workshop Leader worked with him on each stage of the production process from storyboarding to editing, and Stevenson College collaborated with the sound production.

The Selfish Giant
Rachel Bevan Baker also ran a project with Graysmill School, Edinburgh where a group of children with additional needs made a film based on the Oscar Wilde story, The Selfish Giant.

The Secret of the Hidden Gardens
Inspired by the Hidden Gardens at The Tramway, Glasgow this project was a collaboration between Red Kite and Storytelling Unplugged. The film, The Secret of the Hidden Gardens, was produced by pupils at Pollokshields Primary School, and screened in The Hidden Gardens as part of The Inspiration Festival 2005. This film was shown at the "Co-Operative Film Festival” in Bradford, in 2006.

Louise Hopkins project
As part of the Opt in for Art scheme, Red Kite was commissioned by the Fruitmarket Gallery to create an animated film with pupils from Craigroyston Community High School. The Louise Hopkins exhibition acted as the springboard for ideas with the group spending a day at the gallery to see and discuss the work.
 
Also on the subject of the Louise Hopkins exhibition, and as part of the The Big Draw, a workshop took place using Copyleft software. The project worked with young adults at the Gallery and on the Smartbus, a mobile IT suite.

Both films received a special screening at the Gallery.
