			<description><![CDATA[Be like the sponge. Go to the museum, watch movies, read,  learn poems, ... observe, observe, observe. 
You need a huge input to have great ideas. They don't come out of the nowhere. You're not born as a genius. Nobody is. 
But: all great artists had the ability to combine already existing things to create something completely new. 
A good example is Picasso:
He just combined a bicycle seat with a handlebar and created a head of a bull.

Try to keep things simple, train your brain and you'll have a bunch of ideas without any problems.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If you want ideas, dont try to have ideas. The best ideas come at random. By trying to think of an idea for an epic animation, your not going to think of one. Sitting in front of a blank word document or with all your Lego in front of you wont work. 

Don't ask me how, it just doesn't work...

			<description><![CDATA[I'm not sure if this has been said because I am too lazy to go through the previous posts, but I have a few tips and tricks on how to get ideas. Well, this is how /I/ get ideas anyway.

I generally get ideas from the world around me, like any other dude I suppose, but I don't just sit there and try to think, I go and explore outside. While I explore I like to come up with several "What if" questions. For example, one morning I got up really early, like at 3AM, and I walked around for awhile and noticed that the mornings always seemed a little refreshed. Of course it is really you who are refreshed, but nevertheless, it created the road to my last film "Early Mornings". I just thought it would be cool if there was a being that went around and  renewed the mornings and that's why they always seemed...different. ;)

I also like to get ideas from everyday objects. Like one day I got this fantastically weird, slightly silly, and insane idea from looking at this really tall tree. I thought "What if someone were to climb to the top of that? And what if this tree was high enough to connect to another tree in another universe? And the man would find himself on the ground again in a slightly different world". Note that not all ideas you get will be good ones, but maybe even those small bad ones could be combined to create something fantastic. 

I have gotten my fair share of bad ideas, like "Bluestar of the Day" was going to suggest looking into the sun so it could take you to another world that had a blue sun. And of course that world was perfect, but if you went back to the real world you would go blind.

Anyway, the point is not to be afraid to think outside of the box. In other words, use your imagination, anything is possible, nothing is impossible. Once you get an idea just start building on it and make it the best that it could be.  Your very own imagination is the key to film ideas, so you can take the viewer on a little trip through space and time. And remember, regardless if people disagree, but in my opinion filmmaking CAN be its best when made into a highly entertaining movie that keeps the viewer hooked. In other words, but artsy, but don't like being artsy ruin your film.

That's all I have to say for now. XD]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, I do this...

1. Animation Tests. They give you an idea of what to film next, somehow.

2. NOT posting here. The forums will make you lazy!

3. And... that's all I got.]]></description>
