Well first of all, you've got to get a story that's amazing that makes you determined to make it into a movie.
That's what I've found that makes me do good animation.

I've been fighting a losing battle with animation block since An Unlikely Hero.

I just did that yesterday. I wasn't feeling really motivated to work on the film I'm making, so I animated a dude getting tackled and played around with some post-production effects just to see what I could do. It was cool. It helped me to relax and just enjoy animating.

Re: Animation Block!!

You know, the newspaper is a great place to get ideas from. Just look for a story you like and just change it a bit to your suiting and animate!
Or what I would say, gargleberry it! ( that is just a word I came up with that  I use for stuff)

You can do anything, just have fun while doing it.

Re: Animation Block!!

Next time you're in the "zone", find something that has a unique smell, and put it in your studio. Then whenever you want to "get in the zone", just smell whatever it was you found, and you will want to animate. It's called smell association

GET DA BOOM MICROPHONE OUT OV MA FAAAACCCEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Animation Block!!

I accidentally discovered that only with taste. Every time I have orange mouthwash it makes me want to play GTA REALLY badly.
