    Show Your Reel and Teaching Philosophy

    ADMI is looking for a lecturer who can both animate and teach. Your application should prove you can do both — with a strong reel and a clear approach to guiding students.

    1. Tailor your reel to teaching: Include a variety of work that shows your range, but also include a breakdown or commentary that demonstrates how you think about animation. This helps them see how you might explain concepts to students.

    2. Highlight your software mastery: Be specific about which tools you use daily — After Effects, Blender, Maya, or Toon Boom. Mention any advanced techniques you can teach, like rigging or compositing.

    3. Prepare a sample lesson: Think about a short lesson you could deliver on a key animation principle. Be ready to discuss how you would break it down for beginners.

    4. Show your industry experience: Talk about your commercial or entertainment projects. Explain how you met client needs or solved creative challenges — this shows you can prepare students for real work.

    5. Emphasize feedback skills: Lecturers spend a lot of time critiquing student work. Give an example of how you've given feedback that helped someone improve.

    6. Understand the ADMI context: ADMI is a digital media institute in Nairobi. Show that you're excited about nurturing African talent and understand the local creative industry.

    7. Polish your CV for education roles: List any teaching experience, even if informal, like workshops or mentoring. Highlight your communication skills and any curriculum development you've done.

    8. Be ready for a practical demo: You may be asked to animate on the spot or walk through your process. Practice explaining your workflow clearly and concisely.
