Okay so i always think of something to animate
Just like a little story to put on my channel
But I usually get the first scene done then get discouraged and quit the whole story
Any suggestions on what to do to keep with one project and stay with it
What I do. Get a Yoga Ball. Keep on bouncing it and the whole film will come clear to you, and I quickly jump to animating scene after scene. 
Well unfortunatley I do not own a yoga ball to use at my convenience but hanks for your input
I'm stuck in a similar rut right now. Just force yourself to work at it. Make sure you've actually worked out the whole story beforehand too.
Blue tack is a brilliant yoga ball. I did what KinzCove suggested while I was doing my piano and it made me really happy!

Smash your keyboard.
What I do ..Because I get this a lot of times.. is do the scene and once you get tired of it or discouraged then take a few hours off and do something fun. Then come back and work it out.
It helps me...
Alright thanks guys
I will try al of the suggestions
AnyMore?
When I feel discouraged, I actually play Half-Life 2. It really helps me to do stuff like the Guns N' Roses song Chinese Democracy inspires me do action stuff.
Chinese Democracy inspires me
Good one!
The only time I can make a good long film is if I've made a script beforehand. Otherwise, you add-lib the whole thing and you end up not liking some things afterwards. Try creating a complete script for the story you're creating so you don't have to go at it all in one go.

Really, it does.
Listen to some old Guns n roses, it's much better .
Anyway I get this feeling a lot. I just try to counter it by thinking, I'd be wasting my voice actors time if i don't finish this or, that'll be a month work wasted, or something along those lines. Just try to lift your spirits, but if you not enjoying filming then it'll become a waste of time, as you won't do the best of your ability.
