Lack of inspiration... Help?

Post by Sora no Honou 空の炎 » Thu Apr 08, 2010 10:12 pm

I have wanted to edit something together for a while now, but havent really had a drive for it lately. I think that part of it is that I cant really think of too much that would make for a good amv. Have any tips on how I could get motivated, and how to choose a song that would make for a good amv? Thanks.

-Browse the depths of thar interwebs until you stumble upon a song that gives you an idea for a story
-Think of which animu could work with that story idea
-Listen to the song until you find one or two spots where you can place a specific clip from your series
-????
-Inspiration!

You can't find inspiration, inspiration will find you instead.

I generally had motivation after watching something I liked, or listened something I like.

A great way to inspire me is to simply just listen to music. I hear a song that I know I can edit to and if it has a nice flow to it, then I simply start to edit to it. Its the music that captures the audience, not the anime. im new by the way :D

I've always been big on letting inspiration come to you; forcing it usually hinders the product. However, I will say this:

Keep a notepad around for when you do have inspiration. Write down your ideas, no matter where you are, even at the most inopportune times.
